I hope after a successful chutia drama of MMRCA India may not be able to keep the weapon manufacturers restricted to sale their systems to Pakistan only for their new Topi Drama.
After seeing what happen to France in JFT sub-systems deal and its emerging market as they have lost all of it or they would already have those 2+ Billion$ in their pocket after all of these sub-systems had been delivered I believe this restringing sh!t would be declined and they may be told that please talk about your deal and leave the others alone. I thought we would be having 100 aircrafts instead of 50 because their sub-systems are way better and matured then Chinese systems and it may not take this much time for weapons integration as their systems already compatible with the missiles and other stuff which is readily available in western market.
Tough luck but again all of that become a blessing in disguise for both China and Pakistan and when France again offered their systems later, PAC and CAC have already managed most of the Sub-Systems to bring at Par or exceeded their limits then what is offered to us earlier and even later. Although that is correct not all the systems are as good as westerns systems but a lot of them has exceeded their counterparts and become quiet respectable "unexpectedly"
. In addition block 2 is even better in many ways.
And even now the lolipop of 36 Rafale purchase which they have shown to France is actually not in their hand but just being wiggled in front of them
.
I would say Banias have art to play with the power of purchase as we see how French were playing in their lap for Mirage upgrade deal and Rafael. Off course where do they shove their 60 Mirage 2K if they wont upgrade it with France ??
