A lot of PAF gens were pissed off when PNOY decided to get the FA50, its more of a take it or leave it. Its like telling our PAF to bring brand new shining bolo in a gun fight. With all the billions wasted in PDAF and DAP, we could have bought better fighter jets, the least the more advance FA50 version T50.
