well it would be difficult for them to integrate italian ,french and other european systems into a chinese aircraft.COst is another factor.We'll probably wait and see what they do but what i feel is that this aircraft is being purchase by pakis for the foll. reasons:-
1]BVR capability
2]No other option available hence china as the last option to buy aircraft
3]Really REally cheap
J-10 will be a better aircraft than JF-17.
JF-17 was primarily built by the chinese for export to third world countries like pak,bangladesh etc.
And i wouldn't worry much abt chinese made stuff.Not reliable at all!!!
Nope,Chinese & Russian jets have easily integrated European & Israeli electronic systems.Take a look at India's upgraded Mig-21s.The Chinese F-7(Mig-21 copy) & J-8 fighters both got avionics from the Brits,Israelis,French during the 80s.There was also a proposal to upgrade their J-8s with American avionics but Tianammen put an end to it.Besides,the FC-1 being a more modern design will obviously be able to accomodate & upgrade new systems.
