That much money could do nothingThere needs to be a win win solution over here---there needs to be an oversight committee extremely knowledgeable in these matter wearing civilian uniforms.
The Chinese would not help us extend our JF 17, they have multiple platforms which could do what block 4 would. The whole premise of extending the plane is that we need something bigger, why not buy working solutions rather then spend R n D money which will take 2 years when there are ready made solutions available. The J 10 could do while we wait for the FC 31 for example, would be quicker, cheaper and honestly more feasible with more definite results. Spending 2+ years to build a larger jet which may or may not be feasible in the end then getting a line for building them, which would not be more then say 40 jets, while getting all the electronics, engines and weaponry imported, are we not better off with a J 10 with certain weapons integrated by the Chinese for us.
