One thing that i would like to share with friends, initially we thought that many J-10 technologies were incorporated in the Thunder but this is not true. DSI, Extended LERX, ECM housing were all incorporated in the Thunder first. Not many people know that Thunder was the first Chinese fighter to have introduced true sensor fusion, powerful computer based architecture as was demanded by PAF and advanced EW systems. I am not saying that the J-10 was inferior at all, just that the jf-17 pioneered some technologies and Chinese used it as a testbed for future technologies and it worked. FC-20 has many revolutionary features not found in even some 4th gen fighters (SATCOM) etc..
