Sri Lanka expected to get at least 36 JF-17 jets, but SLAF wants a modified JF-17 with western defense products.
Why western? Chinese isn't good enough?
But from what the Jane's tells, weren't you a special customer of Russian fighters earlier? They are cheap as well as combat proven. I don't intend to criticize the Sino-Pakistani design or the Indian one, but both are relatively new and unfamiliar platforms as compared to the MiG-35 or the Su-35BMs.
Its a SLAF Decision, Currently SLAF F-7 jets also Modified with western defense products in PAC.
Did you tell the Tejas's Pilot to take the queekest posible turn as it was being recorded for comparison with others??? A clip from a air show proves nothing....
The tejas was not engaged in a dog fight in the video and was merely performing for the spectators who had come to watch the show.Moreover the tejas is slated to have more powerfull GE engines later on.It is true that the other aircrafts covered 360 degress in a shorter time but one must also understand that the radius of the path taken by tejas was mush more than the other crafts.

Your comments re Dog fights simply sums up the PAF doctrine.
The rest of the world has moved to BVR and stand off engagements INCLUDING THE INDIANS. I
infact in NATO they don,t even train for dog fights.
MOVE on its all about first detection and BVR no body will be dog fighting.
