^ And I am sure that Russia's Mig-29 sale is no where close to the figure of $ 40 Bn.
Trade wont stop between the countries but just means China is emerging as a global defence supplier which will be direct competition for Russian companies like Sukhoi and MIG.
JF17 thunder is direct competition for Mig 29's the Russians wish to sell to countries
Agreed, but still this will not result in halting the exports of RD-93 to China as China to date is their biggest defense customer (correct me if i am wrong on this).
Anybody got the interview or news article where the Air Marshall said the JFT is 80-85% as capable as the late model F-16s?

Thanks in advance.
The video claims that JF-17 is a serious competitor in terms of price and quality...
Thus, this is proved by the manufacturer of MIG 29 that PAF JF-17 is seious competitor to Indians Mig 29....
I did not know latest F16 has MAWS. Intresting newsbit btw.
Russia and China's trade turn over = Approx $ 40 Bn
Russia and India's trade turn over = Approx $ 10 Bn (?)

Please figure it out your self
According to my info the Mig29 is not a serious competitor for JF17. Did you guys know the details? Back in the past Mikoyan Gurevich engineers designed something like Su27. Mig leadership laughed at it and finally they were sacked and hired by Suckhoi. There the SU27 became one of the best designed plane ever. After that a downgraded version of the SU27 was designed and developed by the Mig company. If you go through some designs you will see the downgrading.
Anyway. Enough history. What I wanted to add. Here yo have single engined lightweight fighterjet for less then 50% of the price already doing better then the latest Mig29 (in several fields). That is not competition. That is clearly al lost race for the Mig and they know it. Why else the crying and warning to their engine supplier Tumansky. Let us see how well Mig performs now. Algeria returned their not so new migs. India is probably not going for the Mig35. There is hardly an alternative. Would you go for old designed dual engined unreliable spare part shop with probably nothing left to improve fighterjet?
