LCA Tejas Vs JF-17: Lack of Clarity on Participation of JF-17 cast doubts on Big fight

[DESERT FIGHTER]

I thought Skardu airport was at a much lower elevation than say DBO, no?

SKARDU TOWN IS A VALLEY W/ AN ELEVATION OF 8500FTSURROUNDED BY GREY-BROWN COLOURED MOUNTAINS AND IT IS LOCATED IN BALISTAN PAKISTAN WHICH IS SITUATED IN THE KARAKORAM MOUNTAIN RANGE AN EXTREMELY MOUNTAINOUS REGION WITH AN AVERAGE ALTITUDE ABOVE 11000FT, JUST TO THE SOUTH OK K2 PEAK.

So is JF-17 participating? (TL;DR)

 

[Trichy]

Skardu AFS - 7313 ft. & 2229.0 m & 2.2 km

Leh AFS - 10,682 ft. & 3255.9 m & 3.25 km

there are 3000+ ft. & 1000+ m & 1+ km difference between them in their altitude.

Comments on Tejas by observers at the BIAS:

Prototype aircraft like exterior finish
unimpressive aerobatic performance (no nose up manoeuvres)
Lack of static display
Looks like a Mirage, flies like a Mirage

Other than that, we strongly believe that Tejas is the best thing that happened to Earth this side of Nile.

Congratulations, the first ever international show (if even you can call it that) was a total Flop. We sincerely hope that Saudi Arabia stops flying the Typhoon and buys Tejas in large numbers, when India is able to produce them by 2116.

So is JF-17 participating? (TL;DR)

JF17 was never participating. This was a rumour mill started online only.

Dear Sir, did you mean 2016?

If the JFT not participate in BIAS than the value of the LCA tejas will be Zero because
it is the charitable need of indians they can prove that a prototype phase fighter is equal to an operational show stoper.

Post reported for racist diatribe against Indians for no reason.

Second largest by which definition? Most number of dark bhangis visiting, most planes crashing or most amount of corruption.
