I think it's a really nice jet, especially very cheap. It would be great in any MMRCA deal for Pakistan.

Pakistan was interested in jas-39 in 1994 but due to USA involvement in this jet we cannot get

We already have Gripen in the form of JF-17. JF-17 just needs time to mature and AESA.

It's a pretty good fighter in terms of bang for your buck but if you have more $ then there are defeinelty much better fighters out there.

It's a great jet no doubt. But engine is produced by GE so prone to US sanctions.

Threads like this make me realize how the US / Russia (and China soon) have such a large monopoly on the international arms market. Most countries could produce a decent fighter jet if they had an indeginous turbofan engine.

Good fighter...better than F16, but is inferior to EF and Rafale

Gripen was the worst loser in MRCA

The major problem of small jets (Gripen, JF-17, LCA) is range. Especially when it comes to AG missions.

Other problems are lower T/W ratio (compensated by low wing loading though) and radar dome size (compensated by low RCS).

So they are good in CAS and air defence, so so in air policing and escorting, weak in deep strike missions.

Because of low weight and wing loading they have good take off landing characteristsics, can operate from more simple airfields and better fit for unexperienced pilots.

Forget the equipment that is being sold to armies and navies around the world, most airforces are dependent on American engines to power their inventory, with a smaller percentage on Russian. The US can/or will sanction any country that doesn't dance to their foreign policy's tune, the Russian's not so much........atleast until they get a bigger piece of the market share. If for some weird and unimaginable reason that I can't fathom, the U.S adopts an isolationist policy like the DPRK, most countries can kiss their airforces goodbye, unless Russia or China steps in, which they most likely will.
