Any idea what is the weapons package Pakistan will be looking for.
Su-35 Flanker-E appears to be a sound choice as Pakistan strategy towards naval operation is area/sea denial.
Wouldn't these jets serve better under Pakistan Navy's aerial arm?
Let's assume that Pakistan Navy's Aerial Arm is buying SU-35 so that means they will definitely use these jets Against enemy ships etc so they could be looking for a good Weopon package of Anti-ship Missiles like :
  • 1)3M-54AE1
  • 2)Kh-31A/AD
  • 3)Kh-35U
  • 4)Kh-59MK
  • 5)Yakhont
Out of these ,Kh-31 A/AD seems to be the best option since SU-35 can carry 6 of them.

If Russia is willing to make sale to a NATO country (turkey) they will sell to anyone point is here can pakistan even afford billions of $'s ...
Turkey is a different case and to explain with regards to Turkey's acquisition of S-400 SAM Systems, it is a bit complicated, I will definitely tell you about it some day.

And now coming to Pakistan getting SU-35 Flankers from Russia, this is very unlikely because 1st of all, Russia is not foolish to sell an advanced jet like SU-35 to Pakistan because this will make "India" Upset, India is the largest buyer of Russian equipment. Russia doesn't want to lose a market like India for just a few SU-35s to Pakistan.

And lastly, the most important question remains, does PAF have the money to afford a twin Engine Fighter like SU-35?

You should look at Pakistan Airforce's inventory, you will notice one thing which is common, all their planes are single Engine be it F-16, JF-17, F-7PG and now J-10. They don't Operate twin Engine Fighters because they cannot afford the maintenance and cost associated with twin engine Aircrafts.

Here is a crazy theory, PAF had F-86s, Chinese copies of the mig-19s and also had from the U.S. and Jordan, F-104s. Now if you read the chinese zodiac, 1986 A.D. Is the year of the tiger, 14 August is their independence day and we made the biggest covid vaccination drive on this planet. Ironic isn't it when you connect the dots. Oh and also the JF-17, an original mig design is called thunder as was the password for the word flash used between Allied soldiers in the second world war. And recently Pakistani actors and actresses have doing round in Bollywood. Namaste 😄
