We urgently need multirole aircraft to augment our aircraft fleet. Our top priority should be buying multirole aircraft from a friendly country as soon as possible. Buying only long range RADAR won't help us protecting our sky. Our meagre resources should be allocated to implement our priority projects such as procuring aircraft.

The installation is part of the ongoing modernisation and technological advancement of the air force, aimed at strengthening national airspace security.
