are you ready bitches? :D
 
.
50-60 of these would be ideal we had this in hand by Jinah Airport , no Terrorist would have been able to walk into airport and then to runway it would have faced a check mate from Hind patrolling the airport

And I doubt any bike person would dare fire and expect to escape on a motor bike if this bird was in air patrolling city
 
.
WE should extend our defence ties with Russia, its time to make the right choice..
 
. .
Now Karachi airport attack will speed up the delivery process.....
 
. . .
They are really nice birds,has performed exceptionally well in Indian services. Great choice PAF!
 
.
Everything in our inventory , even if it is from earlier years , is used effectively and it looks good

Hopefully the deal will be closed as win-win ( or as close as possible win-win ) for both Russia and Pakistan
