Pakistani JF-17 has one major advantage over world’s best aircraft stealth F-35

.
I wonder if there is an aircraft that don't have that advantage over F-35? even F-22 have that advantage.
sometimes these reporters are just.....

With one of the lowest defence budget Pakistan has managed to build its modern military equipment. JF-17 Thunder is the hallmark of the defense production of Pakistan. Its friend China has transferred the technology to Pakistan, yet the South Asian nation has managed to add advanced features into its locally assembled JF-17 block II and block III. The Pakistani JF-17 has one big advantage over its competitors.

The largest advantage of the JF-17 is its cost. At only 15 million USD per plane in its most basic configuration, the JF-17 is far cheaper than any of its competitors, even used ones.

Block II JF-17s cost around 16 million, slightly higher than Block I. Myanmar has bought Block II for only 16 million per unit. This has been the key to the JF-17’s export success.

JF-17 “Thunder” multirole fighter is considered one of the most successful aerospace exports. However, it took years for its development even involving the Americans at some points.

Design wise, it’s a fusion of the MiG-21 and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The most recent blocks of the JF-17 have introduced advanced capabilities that nominally put it on par with designs twenty years its senior. But how exactly did the United States help in creating the JF-17? Does the ancient airframe hold it back, or can it be worked around?

The JF-17 evolved out of a series of projects to produce an upgrade for the Pakistani Air Force’s fleet of Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) J-7 fighters.

Pakistan was one of the primary facilitators of U.S. aid to the anti-Soviet Afghan Mujaheddin and the United States was willing to provide aid to Pakistan in other defense sectors.

Pakistan knew the Soviets were preparing to field their next generation lightweight fighter; the MiG-29. Therefore, it wanted an aircraft that could counter it.

This resulted in Project Sabre II, an attempt to modernize the J-7s conducted by CAC and Grumman. The original iteration of Sabre II only stretched the fuselage of the J-7, redesigned the control surfaces, and changed the location and size of the air intakes. However, the Sabre II could not match the performance of the MiG-29 with this configuration, so Project Sabre II was canned.

Seriously do they allow anyone to become defense analyst or journo these day :suicide:. Why is there no Faceplam emoji on PDF ? I hereby start a protest on this important issue. JF Thunder represents our limitations in budget and within that budget its the best we can get but i would hardly compare it with F35. JFthunder is good enough as a defensive platform while F16 acts as our offensive punch accompanied by Mirages in ground attack roles. Let not get high like an Indian and portray Thunders like Lord of all planes just as TEJAS.

Its good to have comedy sometimes, this thread should be in the newly created (in future)amusement section. Someone here rightly said that even our MUSHSHAKs have an advantage over the F35s. Enough said :partay::partay::astagh:

well both have wings and tail. so there is some merit. and when you have a dedicated force of trolls in the eastern neighbor to spread this disinformation then this claim becomes an Internet fact.
But sir vertical and horizontal tails is not like mig21 (swapt back) especially on block 1/2/3 and only swept back vertical tails on B sir and also wing are not cropped like in mig21

In a major adversary confrontation
US Navy will bring in 80-100 F35C each costing 80 million USD
These would be backed up by a similar number F/A18 Super Hornets

All the Adversary needs to do is field 450-500 JF17 and they will overwhelm USN

If it was so easy to beat F35
Then China would not be spending money on J20
They would have purchased 2000 JF17 for 30 billion USD
And be done with it

No need to spend money on the 100 million USD J20

Hi,

Technically wrong information---. The structural design and flight characteristics of both these aircraft the F16 and the Mig21 are different to each other---like day and night.

The Jf is more towards the F20 Tigershark and the F18.

Then the comment about " old airframe "---what does the writer mean by that---. It is a new airframe for this aircraft---. JF17 is not built on an old airframe---.

A media partner must do better than this. kindly do some thorough background research into these topics. Hope you’ll get better at it soon
