Hi,
There is another problem----where the paf has fckd up---.
In order to get the F16's the paf has intentionally down played the capabilities of the JF17 to what they are.
When the JF17 came out first---the basic evaluations were that the BLK 1 was around 80% of the capabilities of the F16 BLK 15.
So---with a more powerful upgraded engine with a higher thrust to wt ratio---the JF17 is equal to or better than the F16 BLK 15---that is a simple fact. So---power is not the issue here at this time---.
Coming to the electronics---the difference is between 9 or 9.5:1.
The SD10 B is as capable as the aim 120's that the paf has.
So---basically what we saw happening was an intentional downgrade of the JF17---so that the F16's could be had.
@Quwa---you need to write an article about that---and put my name alongwith yours.
