Now now lad, you folks should really check themselves before accusing others.
OF all the Indians I have come across most have a limited or incorrect knowledge of the JF-17.
Since this reply was not to me, i wont be debating the Tejas with you.
But do understand that all aircraft have composites to some degree, only sub-4th gen if that will have all metal airframes.
HA!
First of all, JF-17 does use composites, in fact the first few prototypes used 8% composites, of course the figure increased as we got to later prototypes and the production model. I suggest you go and revise that again.
And as for the software and it's programming language. I'm not sure how you can come to such a conclusion, C++ is no disadvantage, it's just that we happened to have a lot of talent for C++ in Pakistan, so it made sense to use C++. The F-35 also uses C++.
For JF-17... should be around 1m2, current JFT has lower RCS than PAF's F-16s.
Yes, but by this measure any 4/4.5 gen fighter with any sort of RCS reduction is useless.
J-11B with weapons and tanks... the RCS increases.. sure got it, BUT the RCS reduction buys you valuable time before detection. That is an undeniable fact.
PLAAF simply doesn't need JF-17 Block I, but whose to say they wont go for Block II/III?
Plus I can see why right now... they have J-11A/B, Su-27/30MKK and MK2, J-10A/B all for their 4th gen lot.
They may get a more advanced block of JF-17 with a Chinese engine.
You really should be careful with adding this kind shyt to your posts, for it seems you are in no position to criticize.
I suggest you don't talk about things you don't know
