As @JamD said... India developed the FCS of the Tejas, which was a reason for delays in the Tejas program. That said, we didn't need to develop an FCS of our own, but we didn't learn as much as we needed to about the tech.Kinda cryptic. I can guess what you are hinting at, but can not make the connection with PAF being brought down. Care to elaborate a bit more?
Saab didn't make the FCS of the Gripen, but it knows enough about it (and the tech) to integrate whatever it wants to the fighter. We need to get to at least that point for the JF-17 and our FGFA (especially if we opt for a consortium or off-the-shelf route).
I have a general point, but we have a culture of 'being up our butts' which we need to get out of... The naivete surrounding the Rafale, Tejas, S-400, etc, etc is comical, if not a little scary. I'd rather be weary, but courageous, than to be foolish.
