* SD-10A was supposed to have a range of 90-100 kms, i wonder why it is mentioned 70 for A when the baseline model has 70??

* WMD-7 appears in the league of Litenning 2 atleast as from the specs, it possess all features of a 2nd-3rd Gen targeting/ designation pod including automatic damage assessment. Only confusion is whether it works in 8-12 or 3-5 band? The latter is 3rd gen.

*C802AK seems to be a new deal even for Chinese friends. We did hear about As and KDs but AK? I am telling you, this is a gimmick to confuse masses, it is YJ-83 in the disguise. A hint is the Range (180 km)

* LS-6 is a welcome addition in JFT arsenal. A compact laser guided missile with good accuracy.

May be the SD-10A range as 70KM is under the ideal set of conditions, a specific altitude and at specific aircraft speed. May be the range increases if its launched from a higher altitude or more speed. Thus range is still debatable, plus who knows they for the time being want to keep the 70Km version for export and keep the higher range version for themselves. Plus, the SD-10A specifications as told in the 2008 Zhuhai Air show showed Operational Range as 70KM.

As for the C-802AK thingy, the original C-802 version had something close to 120Km range, then came C-802A version with 180KM and the K designation means that its air launcher version of the missile and not land launched version. So, C-802AK means that its the 180Km range missile which is air launched. C-802KD would means its an air launched version and D designates that its for Land Attack purposes, thus with different seeker tech and may be guidance system also differs. So K means its air launched version and D designates Land Attack version and A is the updated version with 180KM.

Awesome F 16 looks like an eagle while performing maneuvers compared to JFT.

JFT looks like a lazy boy on the stage, not impressive at all.

I agree with you ... ... however I have been thinking and still think it is an illusion - those "smoke-winders" on the F-16 are there for a good reason ... ... we judge speed RELATIVE TO SOMETHING ... ... and that smoke on the F-16 tips does that ... ... with the JFT you only have the sky and the plane itself ... ... difficult for us to have a "feel" of speed. I believe the smoke-winders will improve our PERCEPTION!

Go thunder Go !!!

This video is from Dubai One, the channel which broadcasted the 1st day of airshow live. They had some good things to say about the Pakistani aircrafts in the show. The guy commentating in arabic is a UAE air force officer and had nice things to say about ur fighters. They were very impressed with the super Mushak. I dont know why all this crap about arabs ignoring us or their love for whiteskin is coming up in this thread. foolish really

The F-16's video was much longer, there were times when it was making sharp turns and there were times when it appeared "lazy" as well. Also, it's video was professionally taken with a stabilized camera, most of the earlier vids of the JF17 have the whole frame jittering because it's being taken by a phone cam and the dude's hands are wobbling. And we got to see the F-16 demo from take-off to landing.

The JF17 demo video was just a tiny snippet at the end compared to the F-16 one, and it did make sharp turns as well. There's this recent Chinese Tv interview where they talked to Pakistani pilots(including one who'd flown Mirages, F-16, F-6, F-7, and the JF17) and they talked about how nimble and manouverable the aircraft was, and how flying it was pure joy.

I remember the Zhuhai airshow where the wobbly cam vids that first came out, of JF17's demo honestly didn't look very impressive. And later on it was learnt that the crowd actually present there was blown away. They left with the impression that the JF17 was a superior aircraft than the J-10, only due to demo manouvers. Captain Khalid Mehmood even went on air and talked about the response of the two aircraft's CAC designers.

So let's chill out, the bird is pretty good.
