they are still not sure on how PAKFA should be used? This is not at all confident.They small number is for training and developing tactics, once they know what are the limits and how ur should be used they will order a large number.
RAF has made their minds they are going with SU-35 as their frontline fighter. Russian economy isn't powerful enough to induct both PakFa and SU-35 in large nos.
Nope.it does have a proper shape.
Engine and weapons are the most important part of a bird. right? How do you expect a foreign buyer to place a large order of 5th gen planes without FOC from a country who is reluctant to commit itself.It is said by the Russian defence minister that Pak Fa belongs to 2018-2025 defence upgrade plan. All most all test are completed. Only test remaining are for new engine and weapons which can happen after the plane has been inducted.
I am just being realistic. I am not saying PakFa is bad. There are million good things about it but because of many technological issues and in current geopolitical climate, this deal just won't work for IAF.
