Enough with the derailment.

It is now requested to members to get back to the topic and discuss it, rather then going to some other personal things.

You would be surprised how much COTS is in the JF-17, does it not meet military standards??
Almost all over the world every company is moving more towards COTS hardware, the problem for companies like satuma is simple, Pakistan is on the no-sell list for many items..would the PAF not have loved to have the SABR for the Jf.. or maybe the newer Ps-05?
The fact is our achievements belie our actual situation, and somehow through the hurdles of sanctions, bad-education, red tape and corruption we have still managed to keep our heads above the water.

I am sure about the high percentage of COTS component in JF17. Our nuclear program was also mostly COTS from inverters used in texiles to high-speed electrical switches used for treatment of kidney stones. The good news is that PAF is buying Bravo UAVs from SATUMA. So their investment has ultimately paid off. They might be used in a training or a secondary role.

InshAllah it would be a flying display this time.

J-10 was shown with a flying display last time, this year its the number of JF-17, even though it was expected to fly way back in 2008 with J-10, but JF-17 did not made it, but this years its for sure.

very menouverable-- i hope jf17s can top this , in the near future

The JF-17 is a fairly good plane, though there is nothing sensational about it. It is a class of lower than the F-16. I flew the simulator at Singapore air show. It is capable, but nothing that bothers me.

 

[BATMAN]

so you are saying that you would have admired JFT more if its simulator may have bothered you...more?

Any case, i admire your talent for evaluating two planes with one simulator!!!
You are an asset for your country, why don't you advise HAL on Teja?

Dang man!

I flew a simulator of F-22 and believe me it sucked!

I've flown an F-18 simulator. Does that qualify me to comment on its comparison with regards to the F-22?

Pilots who have flown both the F-16 and the JF-17 claim it is better, overall, than older Block F-16s. I will take their words over yours, thank you very much.
