LCA Tejas Vs JF-17: Lack of Clarity on Participation of JF-17 cast doubts on Big fight

[Thunder.Storm]

While Two of India’s homegrown LCA-Tejas fighter jet have been busy practicing for the Bahrain airshow at its first International outing, participation of Sino-Pak developed JF-17 are yet to be confirmed by Organizers while informed sources in Pakistan Air Force have informed few Pakistani Defence Portals that due to prior commitments, JF-17 might skip this year’s Bahrain International Air Show which begins today.

Organizers of Bahrain International Airshow have been trying hard to confirm the participation of JF-17 operated by PAF for some time now and had already allocated parking space bay next to Indian LCA-Tejas which fuelled much-anticipated showdown between fighters developed by Arch rivals which will see the bulk of Aerial action if India and Pakistan ever go to war again.

Pakistan Air Force operated JF-17 have been quite regular at Bahrain International Airshow and have thrilled audiences with its Aerobatic manoeuvres in last three edition of the Airshow but a No show when India is sending its LCA-Tejas to Bahrain International Airshow for the first time will only fuel arguments in defence forums of been given Indian LCA-Tejas a walkover by its Rival.

Responding to Question been asked about the participation of JF-17 in Bahrain Airshow, the official Twitter handle of Bahrain International Airshow till now only confirmed Static Display of JF-17 which means it won’t be flying, which will disappoint many International Aeronautic observers and Analyst to closely observe both planes to settle decade-old dispute between rivals on who has developed a superior plane.

LCA-Tejas recently received major upgrade to its software blocks which allowed it to pull beyond 8Gs and cleared it to perform manoeuvres which were never seen before. LCA-Tejas after coming back will also test fire Derby BVRAAM missiles which is one of the key requirements in its FOC Certification.

the bahrainis included the jf-17 into their list without even asking the PAF which is why no jf-17 at BIAS, according to our moderator @HRK

Come on.. paf is canceling the show because Bahrain didn't ask PAF before including JF in the list !!!! that's dumb..

there might be some other problem, certainly not this, lets wait and see... most probably JF would arrive on the day of show

When did that happen? I never knew about it.

Epic! Indians think JF-17 is shy of airshows. If it can perform with Rafale in airshow, what the heck is Tejas. JF-17's performance was out there for the world to see. We have all seen it manoeuvring in multiple airshows. Tejas should show now what it has got and let the world be judge.

I wish Indians show some grace here. WTH guys, you just made it to your first show and going crazy like hell!

 

[Pandora]

hahaha affraid of putting it side by side what a joke. Just make sure LCA dont land on your prospective customers by mistake then think about JF thunder. We already have customers and it is you who needs to show its capability not us.

Second racist way of looking at this situation is that thunder is too white to stand next to Black Tejas . Just a joke people dont get hyped (With reference to pics posted in this thread check #1)

 

[farhan_9909]

Jf17 participation is already planned for dubai and zhuhai this year.

it needs lots of funds and training to participate in an airshow.

Most importantly Pakistan choose Dubai airshow over bahrain always for ME and has never participated in bahrain airshow before

[Guynextdoor2]

Like I was telling @Dazzler somethings are just too suspicious.....
