Manufacturing Of aircraft is Not New For Indian Aviation Unlike PAC.JF-17 is your First Project Our Goes Back to HAL Marut.

Sir we totally acknowledge that fact and we also know that India got its aviation/weapons manufacturing industry already established by British Raj at the time of independence. For us it was really a long way to go as we had to literally start from the scratch.

i think jf-17 block 2 suites srilanka because their country is not very big and its good for third world country and cost is cheap + it have large weaponry air to air and air to ground even cruise missile so they should go with that

Sir am pointing at the pre Independence infrastructure and set up established in Indian part of Subcontinent by British Raj much before Independence. The switch for India was on already and U had to just move along.

 

[Who.Cares]

lol Indian newspaper saying no deal, Pakistani media reporting there is.

Its always better to wait instead of believing everything you read.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

Never trust Pakistani media channels. They spread misinformation almost at the speed of Indian channels.

There might be some serious talk about JF-17 between both the countries behind doors and that idiot Hamid Mir thought Hey I got my moment once again of spreading misinformation without confirmation. Roll it on.

 

[-blitzkrieg-]

I believe the news leak might be a deliberate attempt to harm the ongoing deal. That said i believe it wont matter.The decision might have already been made just waiting for the right moment to announce, we understand the SriLankan reservations to Indian influence in its country.

 

[Paksanity]

Patience....patience my Indian friends. You have displayed so much patience for your Teja. Not a little one for our JF?

Pakistanis were probing their host by floating a 'rumor'. Sri Lankans are obviously undecided or not buying.
