"This year, the MiG-29 is competing against the JF-17/FC-1 for an Egyptian tender of 32 fighters. The FSMTC has already approved the re-export of RD-93 engines if China wins the Egyptian tender."
Farnborough 2010 - Defense News Show Scout – Russia Fears Competition From Chinese Fighter Jets
The Foreign Service for Military-Technical Corporation (FSMTC) of Russia has already approved the re-export of RD-93 yo Egypt then this just a drama to keep Indians happy till next year. Over 200 RD-93 have already been exported and that will keep Pakistan busy manufacturing JF-17 for next three years.
i dont think so cause pakistan wants to sell thunder and with that money they wants to purchase new 4.5 or 5th gen Aircraft..
Which fighters Pakistan plans to purchase ? The Indian MRCA losers or Chinese fighters ? India is forcing MRCA suppliers jump through hoops and the losers will be angry enough to give a Pakistan a good deal on 36-60 fighters.
