I know u are a troller, but I have to point it out this is marketed to a even lower rung than jf17, mostly to African countries that don’t need and can’t even afford jf 17. And it is manufactured by a different entity too.
Price wide JF-17 is about $20M - $30M, FTC-2000G is $10M. Performance wide, FTC-2000G is mainly an attacker.

Comparing ftc2k with 1950 technology engine turbojet and not having flyby-wire unless I am wrong there is no comparison.
It’s an option for af mostly which cannot even afford jf or has no requirements for capabilities jf brings
Jf customers Azerbaijan, Malaysia perhaps Indonesia and few ME which may buy in medium run
Anyway time will tell I think jf withblcok 1/2/3.... options will be available for any client asking for it not everyone is crazy about aesa a lot of smaller airforces still flying 2gen

JF-17 display - inside view
made me dizzy just watchin' it...
Virtual effects of high Gs
GAIC developed FTC2000G mostly based on demands from small African countries. Those countries do not need modern fighter jets. They are actually in need of planes which can patrol their skies and attack ground targets if required. They are looking to finally get that perfectly from FTC-2000G with training as a great addition.

Said to be.. amphibious high-speed boat that travels on the surface of the water by means of a water jet propulsion device. After landing, it can lay down four sets of crawlers on both sides of the hull.

[The world's first amphibious intelligent unmanned defense express boat stunning appearance at Zhuhai International Air Show]
On November 6, the 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition opened at the Zhuhai International Airshow Center. Relevant personnel of the Wuchuan Group module company participated in the air show to promote the company's exhibits. At the air show, Wu Chuan made the world's first amphibious intelligent unmanned defense speedboat "Sea Lizard" dressed up to showcase the high-end intelligent marine defense equipment developed by China's domestic and foreign exhibitors and visitors for future war needs.
"Sea Lizard" has a total length of 12 meters, a width of 4.14 meters, a depth of 1.65 meters, a design draught of 0.55 meters, the whole body is made of aluminum alloy material, the hull is flat, using a unique three-hull streamline structure and pumping propulsion technology, the bottom It is equipped with a retractable crawler travel mechanism, equipped with various weapons in the cabin, equipped with advanced navigation, target positioning and fire control system composed of Beidou navigation system, various types of radar equipment and computer information processing terminals. The remote control system that controls the speedboat navigation, can be installed on large warships, land-based theater command system, sea-based combat system platform, and can be integrated with space-based navigation and positioning system to realize intelligent system operations. It has excellent high-speed navigation and stealth characteristics, and can sail in the sea at a maximum speed of 50 knots. It can stay hidden in dormancy, perform intelligent cruise, rapid assault and landing on the beach according to operational requirements, and realize the special force transport, border patrol, near-shore surveillance, island airport guard operation, tasks that are in the field of coastal defense.
The Wushu Group module company and the relevant private enterprises participating in the air show jointly said that the biggest highlights of the "Sea Lizard" are three:
First, the unmanned speedboat is amphibious. Currently worldwide there are amphibious armored vehicles, unmanned speedboat, but blank on operational or pre-development of amphibious manned speedboats and amphibious unmanned speedboat. The world's first amphibious intelligent unmanned speedboat built by the Wuchuan Group successfully filled the international gap in this field.
Second, it is highly intelligent with strong offensive capabilities, capable of covert dormancy, planned cruising, and rapid beach assault.
Third, it can be deeply integrated with various combat system platforms to achieve system operations. Its superior comprehensive performance further enhances the global competitiveness of China's marine defense equipment, and has won the favor of many domestic and foreign customers at Zhuhai Air Show.
According to the engineering and technical personnel of the module company of Wushu Group, there are four crawler walking devices installed on both sides of the bottom of the hull of the "Sea Lizard". The crawler belt is directly hidden inside the hull by vertical lifting. This design method can give full play to the structural design advantages of the unique three-hull of the "Sea Lizard", which not only avoids the situation of "scraping the bottom" when walking on land, but also ensures its high speed on the water, and is best suited for beach landing assault operation.
The exhibitors of the Wushu Group module company introduced that the "Sea Lizard" is an amphibious unmanned boat that can lurk on uninhabited island for 6 to 8 months, waiting for control command of the command center; functionally, not only capable of basics remote control, also have autonomous cruising, obstacle avoidance, planning and self-learning functionalities; can carry a variety of mission loads, including short-range multi-mission missiles, automatic weapon systems, optoelectrical systems and radar systems. The "Sea Lizard" is equipped with two machine guns. The vertical launch system is located at the middle of the hull. It is therefore able to attack armored land and also air targets, even maritime targets.
"Sea Lizard" is an unmanned weapon platform. The hull is made of aluminum alloy and weighs only one-third of the weight of an ordinary steel hull. The diesel-powered dual-water jet engine equipped with the "Sea Lizard" gives it an outstanding speed. Sailing ability. The “Sea Lizard” has a surface speed of up to 92.6 km/h and a land speed of up to 20 km/h. Land speed can be further improved with the replacement of larger track sizes. The entire unmanned weapon platform of the "Sea Lizard" is equipped with a variety of sensors to monitor the real-time operation status of the "Sea Lizard". To enable that under system fault condition, have emergency response and self correcting ability.
Not only that, the four tracks of the "Sea Lizard" are all driven in an independent drive, and the "four-wheel drive" form ensures that if a certain drive is damaged during battle, it can still guarantee its ability to move. In the steering design, the four-track independent steering drive ensures a smaller turning radius of the “Sea Lizard” and gives the “Sea Lizard” lateral movement. These designs greatly enhance the flexibility of the “Sea Lizard”. , reliability and survivability.
