JF17 will be equal to F16 after upgrades

[niaz]

Equal to F-16 in which role? As a fighter interceptor/ air defence or in the deep penetration/interdiction role or for ground troop support?

No matter what kinds of improvements are done to it; JF-17 is limited by its size. Thunder could match F-16 in air defence role only but would not be able to match payload & range of F-16 especially of the later models.

Jf17 Blk3 will provide you capabilities like IRST,IFR,HBOS and AESA.........
Hence Jf17 will provide you more flexibility of operation......
Even block 52s of PAF do not provide you every thing which Blk3 is gonna provide you.......

So no bro, by 2018, Jf17 will SURPASS our F16 in many dimensions.......​

Facepalm. Sometimes i think we should start our own newspaper to deal with these dumbwits.

that is the best idea you had in a while. have a news section on this site which will counter the clueless media, if you want i will contribute. [serious offer]

Lets hope for the best

Just be realistic. JF-17 is a good plane but its no F-16. If it was as good as F-16, Pakistan wont be seeking 8 F-16s and intending to buy 10 more.

From an honest point of view I agree with you. But there is no doubt that the JF-17 project has given a MASSIVE boast to the Pakistani aeronautical industry and quite possibly put Pakistan on the path to one day indigenously manufacture world class high tech fighter jets.

It is of similar capapbility, for 1/4th of the price (perhaps even less). The JF-17 can do most things our F-16's can do, with a few exceptions (like penetrating deep into India). As an air defence fighter the JF-17 will suffice.

Martin baker is the leading manufacturing company in ejection seat tech. Why would you go anywhere else?

I Don't think JF Block III is using Martin Beaker seats.........!!!!!!

Export 100 billion dollar

 

[jamal18]

Export 100 billion dollar

I think it's 100 billion rupees. $1 billion? That still seems to be a bit high.

 

[313baberali]

Export 100 billion dollar

Don't hurt your self as he might did sum of last few decades . Not specific to a year

 

[Airdef95]

Some points are not correct as for upgradation I think he is reffering to upgradation of Block I to BLOCK II standard

He is talking about the blk 3.
The upgraded block will be much better in performance ( better avionics with AESA radar).
Also it will be having a twin seat cockpit.

 

[thrilainmanila]

if pakistan gets to manufacture the FC-31 with TOT, it will be a massive game changer IMO, the technology can be incorporated in the JF-17 and turkey can provide support through its own 5th generation fighter program to enhance the FC-31, the F-16 will be a distant memory.

Hi,

Paf refused the J10C with aesa last year---why---their focus is 110% on the JF17 BLK 3----.

If the BLK 3 is getting the stuff that I know it is getting---then it would be superior to our current BLk52 F16's.

The reason they are going for the F16 is because it is an easier aircraft for them to induct---it is already integrated----.

Now that most of you kids understand what I meant by INTEGRATION that I have been talking for some 9 years plus---and majority of you would not want to understand---.

Over the years you have learnt what integration means and how difficult of a task it is for a 4th gen aicraft.

Now when you get the BLK3 JF17---many a things would be starting new---and many others would be upgraded---so then you are looking at another 5 to 10 years for your pilots to learn to operate the new gadgets to the best of the aircrafts abilities---.

See---we are talking about the PL15---which is what 150 KM max range missiles---we are talking about the hobs missiles---you will have standoff weapons that can target areas 100's of miles away---you will have IRST---you will have aesa---and many other gadgets---and to learn all this stuff takes time.

So---for that reason---you have the F16 BLK 52 to fill in the gap while you are integrating a new aircraft.

What will be the battle scenerio after integraton of all the above mentioned stuff in JF17 ? How you recon the scenerio of Indian current planes and after induction of refales ? How effective would JF 17 would be ?
