Again this can't be the reason, because if PAF would fear sanctions, they would buy higher numbers of the sanction prove package, but PAF is doing the direct opposite with buying twice the numbers of JF with western parts. Of course France might be more reliable than others, but the most sanctionprove solution remains to be Chinese and all other western possibilities would only increase the risk during sanctions.
No IceCold, PAF is clearly looking to increase the quality of JF 17 by getting more customized JF 17s, even if they have to take a higher risk during sanction times and that clearly speaks against the quality of Chinese parts.
PAF has made sure that any electronic systems be it radar, avionics, etc accept armament must be build in Pakistan under TOT. So in case of war PAF wont rely on any foreigner suppliers for spare parts. Same strategy has been applied by the Indians, prime example are Dhruv and LCA.
