Long-term tie-in with Russia via defense systems can not be good for Pakistan's recently independent foreign policy choices. There is already a sense of unease among Pakistan's close friends because of certain foreign policy choices.

One can trace this convergence to JF-17's use of RD-93 and Putin's decision to allow its re-export to Pakistan.

Already there is also talk of SU-35 being a point of discussion between Pakistan & Russia.

Just as Pakistan was a conduit for establishment of Sino- US relations, China has normalized relations between former adversaries.

By now I really have my doubts, if there's a WS-13 at all ! IMO the possibility of unveiling the Yeti, Loch Ness or Bigfoot is much higher than seeing the WS-13 in an operational type.

They are all real. I saw them on TV. And King Kong too, he was on an island running around chasing girls.

I think it's because of the upcoming rd33/93 variant, PAF decided to remain stick with it which has increased thrust and more importantly its rumoured to be smokefree. :cool::eek: Moreover with every increasing jf17 number the cost of conversion is getting high and it will not be feasible to convert to a new engine at this stage. o_O:cool:
