So what you are saying is that As long as the plane has the most advanced radar and avionics. its just as good as another plane.
So why do countries spend so much to make newer and different Jets.
Do they just get bored flying the same plane.
if all we have to do is stick in new avionics to make a plane good. why bother making different ones?
And Just to point out before the JF-17 can engae the MKI on even ground, it has to be a better jet that the J-10B. So unless you are telling me that the JF-17 can be better than a J-10B or F-16, in which case why aren't the Chinese mass producing the JF-17?
and why is the PAF still getting F-16?
Its about time you face reality and admit the only reason you are even buying this plane is because it the only one you can afford.In that You can get a Functioning modern plane and maintain or even increase Fleet numbers in the long run.
Funny typical Indian note !!!!!!!
1st PAF's , JF-17 (Saber II) project was to bring new fighter, to replace old fleet like A5, F7, Mirage.
PAF have more western avonics and jets then India have (wt makes u proudy).
PAF Chinees jets are developed on Russian Technology (Used by India). RD-93 used in JF-17 ......go n study abt RD-93....its another version of Klimov RD-33 turbofan used in Mig29.
PAF getting 26 F-16 Block 52 in 2010 n 2011 total will make 70.
JF-17 is an evaluation jet, its purpose is to get skills of Jet fighter development. Nodoubt its much batter then any of IAF air craft except MKI.
Its agile, its leathel...then any air craft of IAF......it can be loaded with western avoinics. Radar is little weak but still gives long edge with track, target, lock n fire enemy craft within range of 100KM.
There are only two things of JF-17 that needs to be upgrade to match MKI....one AESA radar and other heavy thrust engine.......all other qualities of JF qualify for 4.5th generation fighter.
So batter 4 u to stop typical Indian approach to defame PAK or PAK efforts.
JF-17 is a descent succefull effort. So plz respect it......atleast its in the air but we are still waiting for completion of LCA, which is already begging for foreign support.
