Sales prospects for the JF17 really seem to be looking up with the arrival of the C model.

The russian engine is a serious risk under current international environment

Well, but in fact we have these "new" since months, Iraq also plays constantly "I want Rafales card" and as such, how credible is this latest round of re-posted or warmed-up news?

Similar "news" we also get from time to time from Bangladesh, Egypt and Zimbabwe.

The problem with the government in Iraq is they do not control their own budget. Their money goes into accounts in the US and only gets released when the US lets them have it. One example of this is how only recently they were able to pay Iran for the natural gas they bought from them over many years. It is highly unlikely the US would let them buy Chinese aircraft.
I do not even know how they were able to buy Russian hardware as much as they did.

Egypt has already made a lot of purchases and their purchase of the MiG-29M probably means they will not be buying any JF-17. Bangladesh might be a possible client. Sales might also be made to other African countries much like what happened to Nigeria.

I would not dismiss Bangladesh as much. They have one of the fastest growing economies in the region.

This problem ‘magically’ goes away if they sell their oil on RMB.
