Most people were expecting the same transition from Block II to Block III as was in the Gripen going from Gripen C/D to Gripen E/F.

Given how long it has taken to get to Block III, it was fair to assume that a larger change was being undertaken than has been. Additional Block II's have been purchased to keep the production line active until Block III is available.
And, what do we have people saying... PAF hasn't even decided on which variant of the AESA radar it wants? I mean, how pathetic is that?
Does seem like a lot of people in PAC/PAF/CAC have been sitting with their fingers up their bums as far as the Block III project goes. Rather dissapointing given the sheer amount of time they have spent on it and the delays this project has had with very little real progress to show for it.
Block III has not advanced much beyond Block II other than an AESA radar, which according to people, has not even been selected yet ?????!?!?!?!?
