Guess Boeing isn't declining as fast as Winston thinks - they're cleaning Airbus's clock in widebody sales too! Seems the RSAF is serious about defence - and bought the F-15.

Pakistan has been denied for advance technology from west so the only option they has was "to get it by anymeans". Babur missile is again developed with the help of Chinese and Ukranins....like Indian Bhramos was origionally developed by Rusians and thean trasfferd to India. Babur's capability is very close to any advance cruise missile present in the world today...this is also confirmed by Janesdefence weekly. It will be soon fitted on Pak Subs and reports that PAK is going to fit on C-130s also.

Brahmos is supersonic while Babur is subsonic. Brahmos has land, sea and aerial platform while pakistan is still developing it.
