Cheers.
P.S I was hoping that SLAF would buy Su-30s but JF-17s are ok for our needs. However SLAF should buy atleast 6 more to create a somewhat powerful squadron IMO.

Will these be procured from China fully built or will SL assemble them from knock down kits (unlikely for such a small number)?

If India Wanted It would Have Made Sure Tamil Tigers Won and Our Coast Gaurd and BSF would have been enough . Neither China or Pakistan could have done anything about it . Our Policy Changed . We don't Want Want to Sponsor Terrorism that's it even if Indian Tamilians want India to support TT.
