There are even dedicated threads to compare JF-17 with MKI.

I feel this comparison is more fair !
It will be better if compare with teja and j-17
Thats quite lame of you my friend. JF-17 and MKI will be put against each other as SU-30MKI is Indian's attacking machine and JF-17 will be serving defensive purposes. There's no comparison, true but you will nevertheless see these two machines get against each other and the thread you are indicating is more about discussing strategy that how can we counter SU-30MKI using the best defensive machine we could have, the JF-17s! Even then in the fight, they are not comparable and JF-17 will be dependent on additional resources to counter MKIs. If that still hasn't made sense to you, you have wasted a good deal of time at PDF making 850+ posts.
I got your point bro, but the MiG-29 is the IAF's dedicated air superiority fighter.The foremost task of a air superiority fighter would be to establish Air Superiority. I mean controlling the airspace within a limited area for a limited length of time.I case of a war, MiG-29 could be deployed for air superiority and Jf-17 could be deployed for defensive role.

Although its less likely that Mig-29s will be used in attack against Pakistan when we have F-16 to counter them, it would suit India better to send their better attacking aircrafts SU-30MKIs so they could dominate F-16s too. Anyway, if you are putting it this way then why not.. we can evaluate how Mig-29s and JF-17 will counter each other. So will be more of a attacking-defensive strategy comparison instead of comparison of features in solitude.
You merely can't match them inch for inch or turn for turn,
Special weapons and tactics also come into equation.
Take the last India/Pakistan war for example, Mig-21 proved the better aircraft against thin wing F-104, but then the humble F-86 got the better of the Russian fighter.
As revealed earlier, an IAF SU-30 Commander had disclosed that if ever he went into battle, he would prefer his previous platform, Mirage-2000 instead of the Sukhoi fighter.
I haven't heard about it. Anything to back up that ??

Not another thread
Poor JF-17, it must be doing in its hangar after knowing about this thread.
Leave alone the poor JF-17 guys, its just growing up and you guys are comparing the light weight contender to the World Champions Heavy weight contenders, not fair.
JF-17 must be praying to God, that why did you made me so little and then gave me a fight to do with the biggest mean machines that are there in the world. Not fair.
Guys let it grow, give it a few years to mature, then get JF-17 into the ring, hopefully by then it will be capable enough to give some fight to the mean machines.
