France & Pakistan to revive JF-17 Avionics/EW/Missiles deal as Indian MMRCA stalls.
- Thread starter Kompromat
- Start date
If this is a pressure tactics and even ifthey are successful in this to grab MMRCA for their own favour .This would be the last deal with France.
France will face obstacles in their future business with India.

Not surprised at all. Seems like these would be for Block 3, since Block2 is already in production. It also means that exports are expected, so PAF must have given the French an estimate on how much they can earn, regardless of whether India gets Rafale or not.
Still waiting for confirmation and actual deal, but would be nice to have those systems along with, of course the MICA/Meteor weapons package. Now if they would seriously increase the hardpoints on JF-17, so it can carry at least 4 full BVRs and 2 wingtip IR missiles.

This is a joke, right?Highly placed industrial sources have indicated to me that the deal for advanced Avionics, Radar, EW suite, HMD/S and MICA Missiles for PAF's JF-17 Thunder jets is back on the table. The deal was postponed after India removed Rafale from its MMRCA. Now that the Rafale deal with India is stalling, the French are willing to sell the whole package PAF wants for its Thunder fleet.
@Windjammer
Either you are making this entire thing up or your "Highly placed industrial sources" are lying to you. The latest news regarding the Rafale deal have been positive, wait a few more weeks and your last hopes will be dashed and the deal will be signed.
Even IF the Rafale deal was stalled with India, the level of business India still does with France is many times greater than anything Pakistan can offer (A330 MRTTs, Ceasar MGS, LUHs, SSKs, radars etc etc). NO WAY would France put this at risk for some HMDS and EW sub-systems for the JF-17.
Sorry.

Oh okay, and as usual India's Make in India program will hit the wall.
This is a pressure tactic.No doubt.
But French are not trustworthy.They will soon turn the table once we warned about a complete banning of French from our weapons market.

Wishful thinking or you have something to back this nonsense up for once?

What about India and its Chaska tactics! Why would a country lose business on empty promises?
French are just one supplier of defence systems.We have Russia,Israel,US in there.Make in India will thrive even if there is no France.
And also we dont know whether this 'highly placed sources' is right or wrong.

I don't think we have to prove anything to random Indian shmucks on PDF.

Then don't make statements you aren't willing to defend or back up.
