I personally do not think Pakistan would receive Patriots. I also know that in order to be effective, a large number of batteries is needed. Even Ukraine is facing this problem -- insufficient batteries.Dude I think you are still underestimating how expensive Patriots are. A single missile launch costs $4 f*cking million. That is more expensive than any Indian missile in arsenal, except of of course Agni IRBM & ICBM. No one is giving Pakis that much money. And I don't think I need to remind you how many missiles one needs to launch during interception.
Bro, Europeans & Americans are struggling to supply Patriot systems and missiles to even Ukraine, the current darling of the west. How do you think that they will supply equipment worth $7.5-10 billion (a single Patriot system is very much insufficient for Pakis) to Pakis? They didn't gift this much even during War on Terror time in 2000s. May be the last such alm to the beggars was during USSR invasion of Afghanistan and its aftermath when they gifted F-16s.
As I said, Pakis would literally go bankrupt in acquisition, operation & maintenance of Patriots.
I was simply providing information on how Pakistan finances its weapons' purchase. The financial aid they receive is used to pay for the salaries of staff and procurement of the weapons, among other things.
