it doesn't matter where the plane is being tested, what matters is PAF was hands on from day one,
you even call project like FGFA joint project LOL, you are not even allowed to sit in the cockpit after few hundreds of millions paid, let alone test flying it.
FGFA hasn't even been designed yet. We can't sit in the cockpit of a non existent aircraft. What is flying is PAKFA, and we do not claim that is a joint-development.
The MKI had Indian input from day one, but we don't call it a joint development. Only Tejas is called an indegenous aircraft, the rest are foreign aircrafts that may have been built to Indian specifications, and are license produced by India.
Other than MKI, Mig-21s, 27s, jaguars etc have also been made in India by the thousands.
The only modern combat aircraft that was designed in India by Indians is the Tejas. There is no equivalent in Pakistan. China has a lot more experience than us in testing prototypes and building fighters, which is why China could flight test and operationalize JF-17 much quicker than India can.
Angoor Khatthai hain paradox
LOL, really? We are manufacturing far more complex aircrafts than the Chinese designed JF-17. We have manufactured thousands of fighter jets, while Pakistan has made 50 JF-17s. We now even have our own indegenously designed fighter.
Why on earth would we have khattay angoor mentality? Or were you speaking about yourself?
(BTW don't use words you don't know, like "paradox".)
No Sale is final until purchase order is served..
According to Lankan sources they will bid an open tender so JF17 and LCA along with many others may end up competing..
That's unlikely, for one thing, Sri Lanka's needs are very little, they would need at most one squadron. For a small order like that, an open tender is too much of a hassle. My guess is that their purchase would depend on closed room negotiations about geopolitical benefits.
All this news about JF-17 or Tejas being considered is coming from overenthusiastic Pakistani and Indian bloggers and journalists. Until SL officially announces something, I wouldn't give too much importance to news like this.

For a small order like that, an open tender is too much of a hassle, and a waste of money and time. My guess is that their purchase would depend on closed room negotiations about geopolitical benefits.
