Harris Ali 2140, Obama Administration had approved the request for 8, so it is very possible that US will sell to PAF, ( Block 52+ likely 72 perhaps. ) $ from Pak side is the hurdle, Pak rejected the last offer to pay full price, but at the end defense is an expensive thing but can you place $ on Freedom ?
We could learn from Bangladesh. They have higher growth on back of higher HDI investment. In five years they could be in a position to afford what Pakistan would only dream of.
Defense is expensive, yes; but what good is hardware when HDI is abysmal & future prospects non-existent?
All the talk of 4.5 Gen & 5th Gen is nonsense if it means further dent to the very meager development budget. Rest assured that this is exactly what it would do.
