Which is more advance, JF-17 Block 3 or F-16?

 

[Shahzaz ud din]

JF 17 Block 3 better than F16 Block 52

Why Experts Saying JF 17B Thunder is a Trailer of Block 3

 

[YeBeWarned]

unless we don't have first Block 3 in service we can't compare it with any Air craft .. but as per my guess Block 3 will be if not equal but on par with F-16 block 40 .

 

[SipahSalar]

JF-17 Block 3 doesn't exist. F-16 does.

 

[Torch_v2.0]

We'll have to wait for Block-III.
I hope it will be at par with F-16 Block 52 at least

better than F-16 block 40 in term of electronic, i would say sir but remember sir there are in 2 different class JF-17 fits in light weight class whereas F-16 stands in medium weight class, so there is no comparison b/w two, JF-17 is more comparable to
Saab JAS 39 Gripen
or Taiwanese
AIDC F-CK-1 Ching-kuo rather than a F-16 Blocks

Asalamu Alaikum

It should surpass it, inshallah.

 

[Mumm-Ra]

First induct it. No point in comparing F-16 with a non existent plane.

 

[Torch_v2.0]

Asalamu Alaikum

It should surpass it, inshallah.

Amin

I think JF-17 is a cheerful little fighter. Not in the same class as F-16 which is medium weight with a much better and more powerful engine.

@pakistanipower
We are talking about Advancement

 

[Ultima Thule]

@pakistanipower
We are talking about Advancement

then compare it with Grippen NG with avionics rather than Blocks of F-16 which is in the different weight Class and much more mature than JF-17 @Torch

These comparisons should stop. F16 is a different class of plane for firsts. Secondly we dont compare JFT with Bhai Tejas because the latter is not in full production, so why should we break the rule with Block3 which is only on design board.
A comparison of such sort becomes very difficult . For instance what do we as lay people know about the avionics , the quality of it , the problems with it, the MTBOs, maintenance ease amongst other things. How do we know whether the avionics and Radars achieve their predicted range and efficacy. So there are a lot of unknowns. Even the Air chief said theJFT exceeds the 16s in 3 capabilities only. So what about the rest. This is neither fruitful nor does it add to our knowledge base.
