Looks like this has been in the pipeline for a while, but will be a significant improvement in capability from their old Migs.

Vaguely reminiscent of the Mirage III/KFIR.  Interestingly, no canard which seems to be popular with the European fighters it resembles.  At 13 tons, it is pretty light, I'll be interested to see what kind of loads/ranges it has.

India's regional rivals - Pakistan and China have a new export fighter that they've jointly developed - Indonesia is buying JF-17's too.

It looks like an arms race in South Asia.
