I wonder if the JF-17 order will be good for India, maybe IAF can assess there capabilities in various exercises that takes place with SL.

If Sri Lanka buys JF-17, Indians won't even be able to see the jet.

I thought it would already be understood?

India may be a decade behind China not decades!!!
And we are improving...On what parameter does thailand or Indonesia does better???

I'm not downgrading the India.but India is at least 18-25 years behind China, I agree with India is improving but it is not sufficient improvement in next decade compared to China.

Do you think India is better than Thailand and Indonesia? India will take 8-10 years to become the level of Indonesia enjoying today.

On what basis are you comparing this on?

GDP per capita? In that case China will never reach Luxemburg level LOL

Why should we support India? India is just another country to us. Sri Lanka should focus on its future taking advantages of the countries who has better progress and capabilities. India is decades behind China, also India will not show sufficient improvement in next decade compared to China, so right option is give more priority to China at this moment take the advantage and convert it to future of SL.

Not only China, SL should more focus on better performing countries such as Indonesia, Thailand.

I told the samething if India assisted to get freeland for SL tamils they won't talk like Sinhalese becoz they are culturally bound with India. India committed great blunder regarding that issue now paying the price. What Lankans think about their future and benefits its not matters to us if SL preparing for close ties to our arch rivals/anti-Indian elements means then it would be terminated at any cost even by force.
