Here's a thought for you. Why dont you post what India has developed for LCA? That way others also get to know what you really know about the program instead of handing out tripe about donated jobs and processes under you.RIGHT. You know when you make a computer, getting the processor from Malaysia, Monitor from Indonesia, Chipset from Honkong and the Box from India...doesn't make it 'Indian Made' right??
Do you actually understand entirely as to how many companies from the West are involved in providing technology and integration to the LCA program (and pretty much all other Indian military ventures)??? If you have a doubt, let me know and I shall post a list of parts and their origination country / company for ya. That'll tell you how 'Indian Design' is your LCA (by the way, the air frame has HUGE Dessault support in it, this is JUST a basic component that everyone can see from the outside)
Also, JFT Block II (more composites and EM-E suite) and LCA are pretty much the same from a capability's standpoint. Just wanted to put the truth out there. JFT B1 may be a bit inferior as it's airframe doesn't use a lot of composites but the rest is pretty comparable to LCA. The 'digital' vs 'analogue' doesn't play a huge role in this scenario. Both planes offer decent capability and will form the lower tier.
Since you keep ranting the same question all over the forum, let me put your mind to rest, for all Pakistan's input or contribution as you call it, the aircraft designation carries a pre-fix "J"....JF-17 aka Joint Fighter-17.....this doesn't apply when you merely contribute funds.....PAK-FA being a prime example.
As a matter of fact, India's contribution to PAK-FA is almost just as much as Pakistan's to JF-17. We do have an idea about Pakistan's manufacturing base and research and development levels in relevant fields.
What Pakistan is doing now, we have been doing over decade. Yes that includes manufacturing a plane from raw materials phase for even the Su-30MKI, building engines, etc, etc.
As i said before, the JF-17 was limited by China's technological capacity, not Pakistan's. That sentence should tell you all there is to know.
