ive been looking in the news every day and have not heard of the chinese or pakistani responce since russia announced the blocking of the engine. i wonder what is really happening the chinese engine is apperantly 5 to 10 years away. this will leave pakistan in poor shape as indias airforce is modernisng fast.
No the WS-10 engine is 2 years max away......there have been no statements from the Chinese or Pak govt about this so I don't know where you got 5-10 years away. I suugest you read the following thread

And learn a little about the topic. there will definately be JF-17's flying on 23rd March
if we cant have the jf-17 for at least 2 years and usa congrees threatining to change their mind on the f-16 deal pakistan needs to find a way to produce its own jet engine no matter how much it costs. Whats so hard about making an engine i can work it out
