It may do you good to recheck the payment modalities between Pakistan and China on this.. You will surely be surprised..
Pakistan doesn't have to pay a dime to build a JF-17 to anyone. We only have to pay for the aircraft itself. For every Su-30MKI you make, u have to pay a few millions to Russia for the license.
Btw Junk term is more suitable for JF17.
LCA is both junk and a
Low
Caste
Aircraft.
We are doing the same thing what u do on JF17. import 80% parts from them and integrating it.
This is our first Aircraft so it will take us time to fully manfacture our Thunder in house. But you Have been manufacturing Gnat and MiG-21s from more than 50 years. But you dumbo scientists still need russian support.
The LCA does not compare with the thunder. Rather, it exceeds the thunder in so many different ways. Please look up on the capabilities of the LCA and compare them with you J17 thunder.
You really think so? Lets compare shall we?
In Empty Weight JF-17 is 6586kgs, while LCA is 6540kgs. LCA is made with so called composites but still it is only 46kgs lighter. What bullshit did u pack into that airframe to weigh this heavy? All this is without taking the weight of Radar, and other sub systems which has to be added in the future. If JF-17 weighs like a human, LCA is going to weigh like an average American.
LCA's G tolerance is only 6Gs & JF-17 is 8Gs. After FOC it's G tolerance is going to be only 8Gs. The Promised 9Gs is never going to be achieved by incompetent & lying Indian defense establishment, as said by themselves.
Max angle of attack is only 22. After FOC it is going to be only 24. JF-17 even now has 25 degree AoA, like an F-16.
LCA has no radar, but JF-17 has KLJ-7.
JF-17 speed is Mach 1.6. LCA speed is Mach 1.03 till now. No one knows if or when LCA will achieve Mach 1.8 as promised.
Most important of all the price. JF-17 only costs $15-20 million. Tejas costs $45 million. Is LCA made up of Gold and diamonds to cost this much? So much corruption in India!!
Even your own Air Chief is calling LCA a MiG-21++ plane. He even went on to say LCA is not a 4th generation plane.
With so much bullshit, is this plane even worthy to be inducted?
