Rival bids from Astrac, Finmeccanica and a Thales-Sagem joint venture were beaten by the ATE bid to upgrade 50 JF-17, with 50 more optional, at a cost of up to 1.36 billion dollars. The upgraded aircraft would go into production in 2013. The Thales RC-400 radar and MBDA MICA air-to-air missiles, as well as various air-to-surface weaponry, are believed to be included in the contract. The PAF is also in contact with South Africa for the supply of Denel A-darter air-to-air missiles.[53]
The deal was reported to have been suspended in April 2010 after 18 months of negotiations due to various concerns of the French government. These were cited as being related to Pakistan's financial situation, worries regarding the protection of sensitive French technology and "intense" lobbying by the Indian government which had also selected France to upgrade some of its French-origin fighters.[54][55] It was also reported that France wanted the PAF to purchase a number of French-built Mirage 2000-9 fighters from the United Arab Emirates Air Force, a sale which would be made unnecessary if the JF-17 upgraded with French systems.[56] However in July 2010 these reports were stated to be false by the PAF's Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman. According to ACM Suleman, "I saw the report quoting unnamed sources or any French government official. I have had discussions with French Government officials who have assured me that this is not the position of their government." ACM Suleman went on to speculate that he thought "someone was trying to cause mischief - to put pressure on France not to supply the avionics we want." [57]

Quer dizer, se cria um boato, que é desmentido por uma autoridade oficial, depois alguém pega o boato, e distorce ele completamente.
Só discordo de uma coisa de você, os objetivos são muito claros, claríssimos, o problema é a gente ter que lidar ainda com esse tipo de abobrinha. Não querem elevar o nível do debate, querem confundir, desinformar, fazer intrigas, se isso não é lobie profissional, é de uma leviandade e de uma incompetência impar!!
