Brother it took you 32days to come up with this counter argument :p and u are right... JFT is no match for a dual engine heavy weight monster jet.
Hi,
I have written about this 20 plus times-----I just got tired of saying the same thing over and over----but then seeing no one replied---I posted again.
Just to help with accuracy:

Hi,
That might be old information-----. The new numbers don't look that good----.
For ground strike operations---it is more like 400-600 KM and air superiority mode around 600-700 km.
The loiter time is no more than 1 hour at the most loaded.
I guess guys in PAC are not stupid... Thats why they have bought tanker aircrafts and air to air refuelling... The basic purpose of jf17 is defense not attack ... So that it can patrol the borders and lower cost and when needed to increase loiter time air to air refuelling can be done whereas f16 could be use for aggressive business...
Remember guys jf17 was meant to be a low cost fighter but still effective against other fighter... Currently jf17 can pose equal threat to migs and jaguars and with no can also give trouble to mki ... The reason being the top class armour being used... Jf17 is bvr capable... Very lethal in anti ship roles... Long range radar is there ...
Disadvantages are less no of hard points... Ask any fighter pilot that air engagements now a days are of minutes and sometime less than minutes so its very unlikely that single aircraft has to take on lot of aircrafts... Untill and unless your adversary in not capable of all... So from that prospective 7 hardpoints are e enough
Second disadvantage of higher loiter team is being addressed be air to air refuelling
Advantage.. Measure advamtage is to use jf17 less costly air craft for less demanding roles such as patrol reconniance .. Air support .. Ground attack .. Sea attack and defensive role... Whereas for air supriority roles f16 upgraded are there..
The money save from jf17 will bw used for nect generation fighter...
If we invest heavily on j10 which is at minimum three time the cost of blk 2 then we would not have been talking about interest in other fighters...
Hi,
You are totally clueless on you own to write anything---that is why you are talking about---" air force is right ".
If you understood air combat---it is the loiter time that is a problem----.
