I really do not understand the point of having a deep strike twin engine capable fighter jet, just look the at the cost it would be required in establishing a Su-35 platform and buying 24 of them and on top of that the heavy maintenance cost the jet has, and btw are you really expecting to use these jets and taking the fight to the Indians in their air space?
Does 24 Su-35's have a chance against lets say 200 Su-27 and countless migs, also on top of that having to deal with multi-layered high altitude SAM protection that the Indians have?
How about using our precious funds to upgrade our JF-17's to F-16 block 52's level and out producing the hell out of it, and buying more high quality, high altitude SAM's and making it almost impossible for the Indians jets to have very little chance in gaining air superiority in our airspace.
It's like how Hitler wasted precious resources in producing the V2 rockets which can only be used once and was not very effective at all instead of producing heavy bombers which can be used multiple times and using those bombers to bomb the Siberian factories the Russian had.
The cost of producing one American B-29 bomber was exactly the same as producing the German V2 rocket.
Btw this is just my personal opinion, those more knowledgeable than me in this topic are welcome to provide valid arguments of why we should acquire a twin engine jet.
