Pakistan is once again making claims out of nothing. There are only 4 prototypes of JF17 in the world and god knows which radars and avionics missile it is using and how many fired from it till date. At least searching internet didn't give enough evidence that this aircraft is flight tested or have fired actual missile and so on.
The only thing they have is 70 odd F-16's with AMRAAM missile which are in fact inferier to the SU30MKI R77 BVR combination.

I fail to understand why Pakistan need mid air fuelling, given its size. Even China does not have AWAC (airborne early warning aircraft). China tried to buy it from Isreal, but did get it. US and Isreal will never sell it to Paki, so that Paki can give to China on siler plate.
It is true that Pakistan has taken few steps ahead then Indian in Manufacturing a Fourth generation aircraft. But it is only the manufacturing not the development, each and every thing is developed by china Pkistan has only funded the project partly. They had borrowed a ready made product and are manufacturing locally, there is no technical and scientific contribution of PAkistan in it. In this deal Pakistan has earned nothjing, but only got a fourth generation fighter which is still far behind in technology of fighter jet of India aquiered 20 yrs back i.e. MiG-29 and Mirage 2000
On the other hand India has developed the LCA from the scratch and there is huge gap between the designed fighter and the demand made by the Indian Air Force from time to time. DRDO and ADA has delayed the project only for this, and also there are few stories behind the delay of this price fighter jet.
LCA on the other hand is a generation ahesd then the fighter jet Developed bu the "MONKEY" AND LCA WILL DEFINATELY SUPRESS THE JF-17.
LCA is now under weapon integration and has to complete few formalities of flight envelop, once these are clear the aircraft is almost ready. Problem with power plant may delay it further as the Air force want more Powerful engine, and this demand is also under consideration, HAL has taken the responsibility for the production series of the LCA.

No it seems there is no news and with upgrades to M2K, Mig 29s, new order of Su 30 MKI and the MRCA 126 India participating in PAK FA and a possibility of getting JSF 35 wonder what is the future of LCA.

Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs and making decisions according to what might be pleasing to imagine instead of by appealing to evidence or rationality.
