Well,we're not sure on the Pakistani FC-1's avionics fit.They have been actively looking at Italian & French systems & the radar system is likely to be the Italian Grifo S-7.Besides,if China plans to export this fighter to others,European avionics fits are a certainity esp as the EU will soon lift it's arms ban.

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!!!

Do you think India will induct the LCA into the air force? How do you think it ranks againts your current fighters?
