FA-50 and JF-17 are the finalists for Malaysian Air Force's Deal: Korea Times

[Michael Corleone]

Jf17 easy win. There’s no comparison

We do have JF-17B which fits in that role.

By your logic Malaysia should've bought F-16D even though we didn't have any F-16s.

Fighter conversion aircraft ≠LIFT

They don't have any of the aircrafts in the tender.
Or am I missing something?
You need to elaborate.

my only guess is that the Malaysian LCA tender was designed for LIFT category .... not for fighter jets ... therefore after receiving documents they might have decided not to participate

Then why is it LCA tender and not a LIFT tender

may be but PAF describe JF-17B as fighter jet not as LIFT .... though It can be employed as LIFT as well

Then why is it LCA tender and not a LIFT tender

might be because they are seeking limited fighting capability, KAI (FA-50), TAI (Hürjet note: Hürjet is still under development), CATIC (L-15), Leonardo (M-346) have limited weapon carrying capability.

Tejas has Israeli parts. So JF-17 is the most likely winner.

Israeli, French, British and Italian parts...nut and bolts are from India of course.

lets be real, jeff has no chance of winning. why isnt nigeria re ordering?

Pajeet Kassad, that remains to be seen whether any sale materializes, but don't get your hopes up for your Tejas.

Forget reordering, will anyone ever order tejas? Maybe not even if u give them for free.

tightened by tools made in china

lets be real, jeff has no chance of winning. why isnt nigeria re ordering?

LOL He can't get his failed Tejas inducted in his own country and he is worried about a fighter jet that brought Abhinandan on his knees.

How can you be so sure?

JF-17 does have buyers unlike Tejas.

No doubt JF-17 is a very successful fighter. Hope Tejas can catch up to JF-17 one day.

Jf17 easy win. There’s no comparison

all of the Malaysian Brothers have their heads on right, yes JF17 is an ready win given that it's a very capable and s true multi role fighter with no political strings attached which fa50 comes with an amreekan engine (I think) and other european avionics that'll come with a some lotta political, financial & social strings attached almost right after delivery.

This is the tender from RMAF tendering section.
