^ i understand bout the sources... but i dont see how its economically viable to go from block 1 jf-17 to block 2 jf-17 in 3-5 years time. i mean look at the mki, its been at block 1 for 10 years? and is due for an upgrade around 2014. sure there's been new equipment every few years...

1. USA 2. Israel 3. Russia 4. NATO countries (including Australia) 5. Japan (both have similar threats) 6. Brazil and South Africa 7. Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka (All share same cultures) those are friends enemies 1. china (already backstabbed once and support revolution by...

so umm that article confirms that there will only by 130-150 jf-17s by 2015 not 250, considering that 15 a/c for 1-2 years then 30 per year. so by 2015 we can expect 130-150 jf-17s 18 f-16 C block 52 46 F-15 A/B upgraded 36 j-10B 50 F-7 100 mirage ROSE 18 4.5 gen a/c (f-16 block...

i just realised something... if m2k upgrade costs 20 mil per a/c for just a bunch of new avionics, a radar and an engine... how is it possible that jf-17 block 2 will have french systems but still cost the same? i mean upgrading that mirage costs more than 1 jf-17. even if u minus the engine...

i think u should change thread to jf-17, j-10, and f-16 vs mki, mrca, lca, mig-29, and mirage 2000. or even better future paf vs future iaf here's my estimate of future fleets 2020~ paf -300 jf-17 -100 j-10 -60 f-16 iaf -230 mki -126 mrca(possibly increased to 200) -100 lca...

have they been tested?

no offense, but some ppl here are being very arrogant and i think they should stop. and have a good discussion noone is trolling here everything is backed up with news articles and other sources

1. the total amount of mki's is now over 120 not 55 their media is retarded as hell. reasons for this is common sense... 1996 contract signed for 40 mki's 2000 delivery completed 10 more and licensed production contract signed so roughly 50 a/c made by 2004 when licensed production started at...

this is good, but i'd never fly on a russian/chinese plane. its half the price of other planes, meaning there must have been some cost cutting. wont say more

no use completetely different classes of a/c.

guys plz stop saying the jf-17 will beat mki with help from eryie, remember mki has phalcon to help which is a full fledged aewacs, while eryie is only aewc. not only that mki has a jammer that is probably an order of magnitude more powerful than the jf-17 (incase u dont know what a jammer is...

actually i dont think the mki's are flown by inexperienced pilots...

ok here is a 1-5 scale of some of the features of both planes which i have compared using global security, fas, and other sites (not wikipedia). rating meanings: 1. crap, 2. poor, 3. decent, 4. good, 5. very good and for 5th generation fighters the ratings can go above 5 so this scale is...

can someone plz tell me how j-10B can match the mki, super hornet, eurofighter, mig-35 and rafael... i just dont see it, aesa is 5 years away, and even if they do have aesa it wont be as powerful as on the twin engine jets since 1 engine cant supply that much power. same goes for the ew...

^ that may soon end(in 10-15 years) at least for us here in the USA, electric cars are becoming all the rage, and for regular cars algae biofuels show great potential, they wont affect world food prices, they dont use too much land, and they multiply rapidly. that combined with replacing...

no way this is true, they have designed almost every type of missile, ballastic, cruise, air to air, submarine launched, surface to air, anti tank, and ABM. and on top of that they have pslv, and gslv with the heavy launcher gslv mk 3 a few years away. plus they spend like 2 billion on r&d...

ok, here's my take the mki has an advantage over the jf-17 in radar, ew systems, avionics, tvc, faster speed, more range, more firepower, and the user a/f has 10 years experience with it. the only disadvantages i can think of are high maintenence and big rcs.

this is very interesting... after seeing the video 2 things pop up the guy says the mki uses a tumanski engine which infact is used by the mig-21 which i presume were there? also he said the aircraft had to wait 1 minute to take off because of debris on the runway. the way i understand it...

j-10c isn't possible. if u add 2 engines, u need more space for more fuel, u need to add more weight to the front of the airplane to keep it balanced, you need to do structural changes, you need to strengthen the air frame, you need to add another air ingester, and a whole lot of other...

well that confirms aesa for mki. so i guess u guys need to take into account an aesa radar for mki which is hard to jam and also is a good ew weapon in itsself along with the internal ew equipment the mki has and also the external jammer it has.
