Would Rolls Royce be willing to sell us just the engine EJ-200? How much would that cost IF it becomes possible?
RR is offering an improved EJ200 with production line in Turkey for the TFX program. A few caveats however: Turkey is a NATO partner, and the TFX is a Turkish program with no industrial partners that NATO would find objectionable.
IMO, Pakistan would have only been able to procure EJ200 engines post sanctions with a Eurofighter buy, new or used. There is no chance of the EJ200 being procured on an a-la-carte basis for the JF-17. Strict end use agreements and monitoring would also prevent engines meant for Eurofighter maintenance from being diverted for other uses.
