Sir how would you compare F-16's airframe with JFT's?Firstly, JF-17 is not totally indigenous plane, most of it is of Chinese origin albeit tailor made for PAF requirements.
Secondly, if we must, we should debate whether it is as good as or better than Mig-29, Tejas or any other fighter that is not with the PAF and we would have some reason to jump with joy.
I would be happy to go along with the notion that JF-17 is equal to or even better than F-16. But both the planes are in Pakistan’s inventory. Are we trying to prove that PAF planners were stupid to purchase second hand Jordanian F-16’s and that the funds would have been better spent on additional Thunders?
Regrettably, I see no reason for a pointless thread.
Which can travel from one planet to other using Gao Mata Piss as jet fuel.They are going to upgrade Tejas with upgrades from ancient India. They'll beat us for sure.
New Recruit
it has nothing to do with which one is better...PAF is on a plan to increase its F-16 fleet, remaining within cost effective curve...and JF-17 block 2 is actually somewhat close to F-16A MLU... but definitely not better...Its just like having a Fleet of F-16 as the Lethal jet and JF-17 as a workhorse replacing Old platforms..Even Pakistan prefer second hand F-16's to JF-17. So proper question should be that If JF-17 is as good as F-16, why Pakistan is inducting F-16?
Frankly, we all know the truth.
wow. Another enlightened indian logicF-16 radar can track 5m^2 object around 105 km only. JF-17 can do it in 130 km.
Basically both are shit.
May be from your point of veiw it's pointless thread but for other it has a point which is where we should spend our money on more fo f-16 or go for a jf-17.Firstly, JF-17 is not totally indigenous plane, most of it is of Chinese origin albeit tailor made for PAF requirements.

Depends on your requirements.May be from your point of veiw it's pointless thread but for other it has a point which is where we should spend our money on more fo f-16 or go for a jf-17.
by the way Iraq may go for it.
Why are the JF-17 Block II not yet inducted in Pakistan Air Force ? Are there any serious technical difficulties ?
Maybe they induct when 12 planes are built. Tejas only has 1 plane built so far.
