I know its not fair to cpmpare provided the fact that J10 airframe is superior and its a multirole fighter but just for some quick things here goes…
LCA – Light conbat aircraft.
Indias indigenious with lots of foreign consulting and helps [if they’d have decided to take this before things wud have come faster] anyways lets not count times taken to develope and stuffs.
LCA fitted with GE404 engines “f117 used it?” , fly by wire , able to carry r-77 [enhanced version] ,meteor? , and main thing got a AESA within 2010.
Now J10 is a single role fighter with a pulse doppler radar.
range wise and payload wise J10 is ahead of LCA but speed wise their aint much difference.According to you guys which one would come out to be a better one? better manuveaubility , better payload and most effectively better suited for the purposes they are intended to perform?
