Funny thing is, they'll quote Pakistani media to make JF-17 look bad, but when Pakistani media says Babur and Raad cruise missiles are indigenous, Pakistan gave technical input to the JF-17 project, nuclear weapons were developed by Pakistani scientists, its just propoganda and everything is copied from China."Third Generation" and "Fourth Generation" are not just words. If you put some effort into researching the meanings of those terms you would realise that there are pretty much no third-gen aircrafts flying around anymore (ofcourse, there are exceptions like the Mig-21, F-4, Mirages etc). No country in their right mind would invest in third-generation fighters today. The guy who wrote this article is as reliable as any Indian journalist would be on these subjects. Seriously, dude, why make childish arguments? the JF-17 was, and is, a late-fourth generation fighter, nobody is talking about the F-22 here.
Also, the Chinese do have a different ranking system for aircraft, but that has nothing to do with the genius journalist above. My 8-year-old sister knows more about aviation than some of the journalists in India and Pakistan.
But I have to say you're wrong about JF-17 being a late-fourth generation combat jet, IMO its airframe simply is not yet advanced enough to warrant such a classification even if its avionics are. If the Chinese articles about JF-17 modifications are true though, it could end up becoming one. I read a translation somewhere of plans to make 70% of the airframe out of composite materials, for example.
Not one single poster here has claimed anything like that. Get out of here and take your agenda with you, troll.so u will now claim that JF-17 will take on F-22, Typhoon, Mig 35 and Pak-FA. What a fan boy claims.
