It's already a done deal.. And will be publicly announced when PM Sharif visits the island early next year, The reason the deal was kept under wraps for this long is because of this exact reason that Indians will throw hissy fits
now thats wrong and you know it too...
India never blocked any arms purchase from China.
India donated arms to Sri Lanka from time and again.
2 Sqd of JF-17,are you seriously think that India will bother about it??
The answer is,India is playing a game which includes leverage.Possibly everywhere JF-17 will be presented for "consideration",Tejas might be offered as well.Pressure tactics always come handy for smaller nations,which either get backed off temporarily or completely change its course(scuttle the deal).
why do you think Afghan "Wish List" angers Pakistan??or why they yell "what Afghanistan can't get from CAR or Pakistan what they're getting from India"??The answer is same,Leverage.
It may well happen that Tejas will not get chose,it may also happen that SL doesn't buy JF-17 as well.Arms market is a place of cut throats.you never know what is going on behind scene.this field is too big as diplomacy,arms trade and covert op,all fits right in.
By the way,why so much rona dhona??was it a G2G deal??Nope.all can offer their products,be it Israeli,south Korea,India or USA,right?
