I think it was.
- A-5 has two engines, JF-17 have one = cheaper.
- PLAAF Q-5s can carry only 2 LGBs, JF-17 can carry 8
- A-5 carrys 2,000kg of stores, JF-17 carries 3,800kg.
- Being more modern the JF-17 will have more efficient and cheaper to runs systems.
- JF-17 will have better sensors, both defensive and offensive.
This is what I could come up with in five minutes - I am sure a lot of ppl can add to the list.
bro this is a list to which even i can add some other points (may be not in five minutes though... )
however i dont take it wise to compare JF with A5 and then start clapping if it beats the A5 !! brother the A5 are real old platforms.
moreover the important thing is that why not wait for some more time if you can get some thing even better..
now do you really disagree that if the new batch can havdel the targetting PAD with another hardpoint and we can get eight LGB on four hardpoints plus may be a RAAD and still have space for air defence missiles it would have been much better then its already existing specs in CAS roles!
