China is way ahead of us in almost every field, no denying this fact. And if you follow Indian business news you will know how we admire them in certain respects and try to catch them in those fields. The problem is when some cheerleaders think of equating themselves with India, they have to be shown their rightful place.
Well to be clear, no-one is equating themselves to India. The article posted on this forum is itself of Indians comparing their LCA to JF-17. Both planes have been designed for the same purpose: to replace IAF & PAF's lower and medium end jets with something superior. PAF has achieved this with the jf-17 & many squadrons equipped with JF-17 are operational. Today, there no IAF squadrons equipped with LCA even after decades of LCA work. Despite the loud cries by Indians, the LCA is low tech plane, if it wasn't India wouldn't be investing billions in more mig-29s, SU-30s & French planes. Arguments about superiority of LCA hide the gross failure of the entire program. Nearly every major component of LCA is foreign.
