After quite some time I am seeing ur post without u advocating for JH7b in it. :p
And how come no one ever mentions F15 . I mean chances of US giving us F15 are as thin as F18 . So, Y not dream about the eagle . A proper jet concieved to be a bird of prey. Which can also be a surface bomber if needed. I m in not in support of us getting any of the flanker family. Our rivals know this flanker stuff like back of their hand. And our mind is not yet free to think big enough to design & assemble ourself a jet.
Hi,
You got me there----.. The issue over here is that the next election is very close and who will be the next U S president and what his attitude towards Pakistan be is a question mark.
The reason for going with the Chinese JH7B is for the fact that we will get each and every front line weapons, electronics package and all the goodies that the Chinese have.
So---the F15 does not cut it for us. Because we are going t be limited with the weapons package etc etc etc.
Now the same thing goes with the Russian SU35-----there is no carte blanche for all the Chinese weapons to be integrated with the SU35----. The Russians would sell us their own weapons and electronic warfare package.
As our current JF 17 aircraft would be using primarily all Chinese options----we would want the next heavy aircraft to use the equipment out of the same supply room---.
The complete weapons package of the JF 17 is totally awesome for an aircraft its size---- . There is no other single engine aircraft in the world that can be loaded up with such a wide variety of deep strike weapons----like C802---CM400----Raad---SD10 bvr missile and other goodies---but its limitation is its size----.
So pakistan will have to go back to the Chinese super market one more time.
May be the ISI Chief's visit had something to do with it? There is still the COAS visit to come. Who cares about what Pakistani media say unless it is blessed by angels?
Hi,
It is not as simple as that---. Pakistani media still has control over the pulse of the nation---. They will rile up the public and start a riot-----.
They have learnt from the best---the American media. Don't under estimate the power of the Pakistani news channels.
