i don't think you guys are really gonna like our comments.it hurts.
first,indian should realize that JF-17 will be upgrated a lot.with or without new avionics and radar from france or other countries，it will happen.china and pakistan both invested lot of $ in JF-17 project,CAC and PAC will do whatever necessary to make it more competitive on the market ，that's how you lower r&d and production costs.
many indian may believe that china can do nothing without the foreign tech,but i suggest you not to judge that from your nationalist angle .How much does china spend on defence every year?how much did we import from other countries recent years?we found out the exist of kj-2000 and 052C even 5 years ago（Varyag will also use the same rader if you notice the recent photos)，it means china already got a major breakthrough in rader area.how did indian know the new testing J-10B and J-11B haven't fit with new AESA yet,you can notice the great difference in radome between J10 and J10B.if you watch more carefully，you can also notice different weapons rack ，what is it for?to increase the combat radius and payload,so we can also be sure J-10B will fit with a more powerful engine rather than AL-31FN(ws-10a /future more likely WS-15),do you indian really believe that J-10B will count on whether or not pakistan can make any deal with other country then hand over the tech to us?russia already stop offering new engine for J-11 since last years(probably because we signed the Intellectual Property Security Agreement in 2008),but we knew WS-10A already be fit in some new j-11B baced on recent pictures, according to some inside sources ,we can be sure the mass production of WS-10A already started this year. and we will still import AL-31FN in the next few years.why?cause we can only produce that many WS-10A per year,new J-10A also need engine.about new WS-15,it finally revealed last year(it's being developed for over ten years),WS-15 connects to almost every major projects ,so no matter how much money we have to input,we will make it real,In this respect WS-15 is much more important than WS-10A
even though all these may takes other a couple years,but indian should know that every tech i mentioned could be used on JF-17.personally i think PLA will also purchase some JF-17 when two countries finish the ungrate,because china still needs thousand of new jets to protect our border.
if pakistan can make this deal with france,good,we are happy for them,they can even start upgrating the JF-17 from 2012 ，if this deal cancel, they shouldn't be overdisappointed,LCA haven't enter servise yet,F-16 capable of confronting SU-30
as TaimiKhan said ,france is a different country,china got lots of tech transfer from france before，i think "china" is just the pretext this time,they probably don't want to make a hasty decision before MMRCA deal close 。
do indian really think that you can get the tech from a complete jet so easily ? if that's ture.you guys already saw hundreds of BlackHawk flying in our sky
