some people forget many factor for example Egyptian looking for LIFT with West ran stranded
we before made 33 modification for K-8E before start production in Egypt and more modification later not publish yet
same way will do with L-15 have good prospective for development
We got a technical composite materials in collaboration with India for years simple and can increase the proportion of composite materials from 25% in the plane L-15 to 50% weight loss
As well as the production of light attack version of one seat and increase the rates of fuel and ammunition

Next to ammunition Chinese C-802 and other differences while with the JF-17 is not huge, but there are other features ignored by some
The success of the export of the aircraft L-15 means pumping more money into research and development, which is missing completely JF-17
The continued existence of the plane's production line a long time means more models developed ones
There are still opportunities to produce a copy of a single seat fighter and light attack and there is a demand by actually
Ukraine is seeking to produce a license for the air forces also
The Chinese are fully aware that the success of K-8E attributed basically to the customer Egyptian where no haste countries to buy K-8 only after Egypt has purchased and manufactured locally while remained in production lines until 1998 a monopoly on Pakistan and two aces forces consider EAF Plane choices for many world air forces options of the Egyptian air force selections which choose the planes based on scientific standards and advanced technical , encouraging many countries to track the Egyptian option to buy the planes and the demand for the same product
China did not pay attention to the export of JF-17 aircraft from the outset did not insist in their contracts with the Russians on the availability of engines for export as well as the aircraft did not enter in the service of their air force making states accept on that plane, which did not enter China Service

China did not provide a two-seater plane JF-17 even competing in the market for the export of the planes LIFT / COIN aircraft such as the T-50, Which achieved successes in the field of export advanced training as an aircraft and light combat
Egypt will follow the concept of the South Korean part of the introduction of the planes AS LIFT and another part to replace a light fighter plane F-5/MIG-21 in some tasks, which requires no multi-role fighter jets
Korean admitted FA-50 substitute for part of the fleet of F-5, not all the functions of the fighters require fighter generation 4.5 + or fifth generation and everyone forgets that the threats facing the countries of the Middle East, now is the threats of terrorists, a mother requires jets cheap cost, whether to run or buy here fit the planes L-15 largely for export to many countries
Egyptians who activate arms exports to Arab and African countries, especially Nigeria, Uganda and northern and southern Sudan, Ethiopia and Uganda through Congo , which will allow the export of part of the domestic production of the plane L-15 The Chinese want to spread globally for their flight
Which is mentioned in the news about the trends of China previously
I understand the point of view of some, and others in criticizing the plane L-15
no big difference between JF-17 & L-15 actuality
L-15 Total Engine Trust 21550 LB JF-17 18300 official 19000 LB
So try to show that the plane L-15 much weaker than the aircraft JF-17 as a desperate attempt to market the JF-17 is a bit right aircraft is the Chinese designed from the outset as an aircraft advanced training and Pakistanis, for example, using the plane K-8 in the combat roles of the foundation permission should not have to put them in although the field of comparative performance in a tight foundation
