Dunno how to feel about this... F110's will be powering the prototypes. Wouldn't Pakistan need to integrate a Chinese power unit in order to fly their own TF-X fighters (if the program is merged) ASAP? There is no way we are selling them TF-X's with American engines installed. I feel like there are gonna be lots if mishaps and delays concerning the development of the national engine. I don't expect to see an operational 5th gen engine in the next 20 years or so. I'm fine with them showing interest in the program and buying the product at a later date, however them being a literal partner right now? I don't know about that. That puts the western support at risk. In short, we risk losing the F110's.
