How can you tell, cause there is not much known about which avionics and radar it will get apart of the rumors I talked about before. Also even Gripen NGs radar is only under development, nobody can say at the moment how good it will be.f-16 IN and Gripen NG are way more advanced than the j-10b in terms of avionics, radar, maintenance costs, and reliability.
And if you are talking about costs, there should be no doubt about that J10 will be much cheaper (Gripen NG offer to Dutch $~70 million systemprice each).
Again how can you be so sure about that? Mig 35 will have 2 x RD 33 MK with 90 Kn thrust, but there is no reliable statement of it's weigth and payload because it's only a prototype yet. J10b is also under development, but with one AL 31 engine it should have a good t/w ratio and as I said, TVC could be on offer for that aircraft to.mig-35 with its tvc and high t/w ratio would fly circles around the j-10 not to mention more powerful electronics.
Likely compared to JF 17, but not to J10, because it still will have more thrust, maybe tvc and canards.if the lca recieves the 100 kn engine, aesa radar, and the eurojet offer for tvc is followed through it'll be superior to the j-10b and jf-17 not only in terms of avionics but also in terms of maneuverability
I wouldn't say it either, cause too much of it's capabilities are unknown and the advantage of quantity should clearly remain on IAF side. But as you said it gives something to think about, because imo it comes close to some of MMRCA aerodynamically.A much needed voice of reason. Thank you sir. I won't say the J-10B gives us an edge over the IAF (qualitatively), but it definitely gives them something to think about, which is more than enough to prevent wars.
