Pakistanis friend. You really need to believe the advancement of China... China can even build a working global GPS system while the EU pooling all their resources are struggling to match China Beidou II system. Let me ask you, how many countries has the abilities to do that? Look at China semi- con industries, the level of high technology China come out. We even already start coming up with own processor to match Intel. China can even conduct a mid-course ABM interception which require a very precise, no mistake tracking and precision to knock out the fast moving ICBM in outer space.


PL-12 designer make the claim of PL-12 being superior to Mica. The fact, China has R-77 missile in our inventory but we are not even emulating out PL-12 based on Russian R-77 becos its an inferior design. Based on China research. AIM-120 aerodyanmic is the best way to go. Plus with level of China semi con prowess, is it that hard to believe Mica is an inferior missile compare to PL-12? Something which is in your PAF inventory. You all Pakistanis shall be proud of owning such an advance BVRAAM in your armed forces instead of doubting it. Look at EU, they are not even have the abilties to make a 5th fighter yet and you want to believe they are military technology is superior to Chinese?

Stop listening to western crap about China backward. China is already up there, if not surpass many western nation in technology and advancement.

noone is saying China is backward...
and I was comparing PL-12 with Aim not with Mica.....

If its a sub-type.. than it may not be mentioned.
However, there was an existing press release from MB mentioning the deal.
And that is a Mk16 seat.

Yeah, even the AFM mentioned it. I guess, All 4 seats on the MK16 site are sub-types. Thats how you find other MB seats and their sub types as well. For example, if you go in the MK-10 section you will find F-6/7 & K-8 in the list as well.

It's designated PK-16 LE.

(Ml.16 PK-16LF) saw on a site.

The latest rumor from chinese forums indicates that the static test of JF-17 Block II has been very smooth, and is stepping into the final stages of the test.
