I think PAF is trying to multiple goals in single iteration (Block- II) which is causing delay. It includes improvements in avionics, IFR and latest weapons integration etc. These require rigorous testing and evaluations. Plus the process of pilot training is also running in parallel. All these things are being haunted by worsening economic conditions. But then again, optimism is the way forward. At least we know that IFR testing will began later this year. Perhaps these development and improvement efforts make PAF stick with Russian engines for now as going for a brand new engine would require much more testing.
