I don't need to read the PDF thread to gain knowledge, I do know enough of it to know that it did its test flights in China and was designed with the help of Chinese. Whereas Tejas is doing all flight tests in India, and was designed by Indians. Since you don't have a response to that point (how can you?) I suggest you reflect on it. After reflecting on it, don't do the stupid mistake that you made earlier in the thread, saying "ha ha ha, tejas is not ready yet, but OUR JF-17 is flying and there are 40 of them."
Because guess what, then "OUR" MKIs and "OUR" jaguars are all flying in the hundreds. There is a reason that Pakistan, with even less aerospace expertise than India, can manufacture JF-17s. Because it was developed by China, and they even helped set up the production unit. Whereas Tejas is all our own, not some "vigorous dragon" renamed as "thunder" or some ding-dong renamed as some medieval Turkish invader.
Always bear that in mind in future when you feel like comparing tejas to jf-17. Tejas WILL take time, because we don't have as much experience as Chinese engineers have, nor do we have the wealth of test data that the Chinese had when they did the flight tests for JF-17. That is why our flight test regime is so slow. And in the end, none of that matters for our operational capability, because we have enough to take care planes to deal with our only enemy.
If you want, you can say "hahaha tejas is not ready yet, but look how the Chinese helped us make JF-17s." Because taking pride in china's accomplishments and laughing at Indians for not matching the Chinese is a common Pakistani pastime on PDF. Doesn't really make logical sense, but hey - its Pakistanis.
