J-7 is JF-17 size but China don't use small fighters anymore. Their smallest fighter is J-10 which is F-16 size.

jf17 is bigger then j7
bigger in size.....Similar size. About 14 meters long, 9 meters wide. JF-17 evolved from J-7 / MiG-21. J-10 and F-16 are way bigger built around a big engine.
bigger in size.....
we operate them both.
Its a common sense India is next to us while any Chinese aircraft need to cover a longer distance.sir...please read earlier posts by members...they are(not me) implying that "bigger" ACs are available to replace older PLAAF jets thus ignoring JF-17 in their own fleet in spite of at least 50% contribution in the same.
I am talking about your plane. The smallest fighter plane on earth LCA. For your size obsession (Bigger Better).are you saying that MMRCA jets and finalist Rafale are among "Smallest / The worst Plane"?
i am sure you are wrong about that...
anyway let's stick to the topic of this thread...
nobody asked it!
you seriously believe that? are you trying to say that all the money, man hours spent, engineers and technicians at this side do not know a thing or two about jets? why always bring Tejas in here? we have innumerable threads for that...
i was bro... nobody is discussing the second topic (extra burden on PAC related)
Jf17 is light weightfighter like gripen lca mirage2000Answers for your questions are all in this thread and other threads. You are not the only one who had this question, other members from Indina have already asked same question.
Why China is not inducting Jf-17?
China build this Joint fighter jet for export purpose. They had no intention to induct it since they already had J-10.
J-10 has advance technology, radar and weapon system compare to Jf-17 Block 2.
JF-17 is an advanced, light-weight, all weather, day / night multi-role fighter aircraft. It’s light-weight, low cost smaller in size compare to F-16.
In performance Jf-17 Block 2 has similar performance as F-16 Block 30s but with new AESA radar, better avionics and sensors performance has significantly improved and block 3 performance will be much better than F-16 block 50/52.
PAC had no capacity issue at this time. Pakistan can increase production based on requirements.
this forum is meant for discussion right? if you dont want to contribute...then at least keep quite...

While j10 f16 are medium weight flighters
Thus comparison is difficult
see? the three replies above proves that the discussion can be civil if you stop questioning the need to discuss in the first place or simply tell someone interested to get out...
there may be multiple threads with following question asked before...but kindly re-answer the same...
"why China/ PLAAF does not use JF-17 for replacing its old J-7/other jets?"
also, wouldn't it be counter productive that to give extra burden on shoulders of PAC of supply/maintenance of JF-17 of foreign air forces after sales?
There is nothing suspecious, until & unless one can't understand. JF-17 was our requirement which was only possible through Joint Venture with China having strong industrial base/friend to Pakistan. The real question should be "Why PLAAF needs JF-17 while having several ACs platforms as per their need/requirement?"
Pakistan requires JF-17 1) for PAF & 2) foreign customers. JF-17 in its own class, is not yet required by PLAAF because the idea was all about to serve our need & foreign customers asking for cost effective/budget fight plane.
"Reluctant" & "Suspicion" is merely an intentional boundary of mind that couldn't understand the simple fact but repeats question again & again. JF-17 is not just the Fighter we need for PAF but also it helped to establish our foundations for future/Next Gen ACs.
