ok first things first as vladimir has clearly pointed out abot the jf-17 capabilities there is no need to discuss that lets stick to the original topic
now the sales of the engines were many times discussed in the past people here have missed a very important point just have a look at the date when these deal was agreed upon its very close to the developments where india started taking the american line and voted against iran in the IAEA after pressurized by america on the nuke deal. for india hey played their cards well they did not let the nuke deal go out of hand and kept on pleasing america because because without them the deal was impossible right after the deal they signed nuclear supply agreement with russia and france this shows that india did well on the whole issue but they shoud have taken into confidence their strategic partner on international boards russia as well which they didnt
russia got the picture that india is getting too close to the americans for their liking and even voted against iran which was really something russia could not digest as they were looking to form a 3 nation strategic group
russia felt they had to take a stand to this because they might be losing their most important market and startegic partner in south asia
as result putin himself took it on him to give agreen signal to the deal it was better in a way because they got the old stuff as vlad pointed out with the link in previous page.
about jf-17 remember china is not inducting its in its air-force while they speak very highly about their j-10b everywhere including this forum but the jf-17 is never to be found except in the minds of some pakistani members who are fanboys and nothing more THAT RESTS THE JF-17 CASE
