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.People who sell weapons to Pakistan take into considerations that Pakistan does not have the money to pay for their weapons. It is understood that the financial aid that Pakistan receives would be used to pay for their weapons' purchase. For example, $2B that Pakistan just received from IMF will be usurped by Pakistani military. This is how Pakistan survives -- through financial aid from IMF, WB, etc. In addition, countries such as United States, provide direct financial assistance to Pakistan.
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.
