this one is fair
Pakistan is a mix of highly developed to undeveloped with much underdeveloped. It is not primitive.
develop part is thanks to chinese help and education. china invest much and allow many pakistani students to come in. but it cannot take entire country.
F-16AM/BM modified to MLU standard would still be a better bet – and that’s what Romania’s jets will be.
jf17 will give new airframe life that last longer and sd10 bvr ability.
also china can probably give much better industrial offset than any f16 export user.
lol so wishful thinking. but really japan cannot do nothing. china fly all the time around japan and they cannot do anything.
lol you funny. j20 is smaller than russian pakfa and even smaller than flanker.
see picture couple page ago.
My opinion too. I’d describe it as pedestrian compared to most Western and Russian types as well as Chinese J-10.
However I’m happy to hear evidence to the contrary.
look i know jf17 is not best plane in the world or even in it generation. but you need understand that jf17 is design by china for pakistan so pakistan can build it.
problem is pakistan does not have strong science base, it is primitive country that is relates to afghanistan. but even china can make a good airplane with such obstacle and jf17 is good for pakistan.
Such as?
better than used f16 duh!
The JF-17 would be better suited to the South American Market.
but jf17 is better than many first world aircraft really.
pakdef is not a reputable website.
and even if they have the funds, probably would be wiser to invest on the j-31 by now.. its the only thing that can stop India from having its way with Pakistan.
sorry. we cannot sell stealth airplane to pakistan until pakistan remove americans.
lightning sux by then. it can only go fast. mig23 would destroy it.
pakistan problem is inside
they let us and afghanistan people have fun in their own country.
how can they stop india if they cannot control themself?
lol you guys so scared china.
it is really simple
do not bother china and china do not bother you.
do not poke the dragon!
these small countries suddenly feel brave because they think the US support them
but the US is a declining power.
it benefit them to side with china like in history.
The problem with the Typhoon is not the design but lack of funding. Really, to be honest the Typhoon is clearly the best 4.5 Generation Fighter flying today and that won’t change. Of course I am speaking of the platform itself. As for upgrades they will come with time. Also, as for the list you provide. Today what can counter the Typhoon except maybe the F-22 and forthcoming F-35???
how can typhoon be best fighter? it do not even have aesa! it dont have strong suppot from government. it cannot be compare to rafael, su35 or j10b even.
british messed up. they have not one but two airplane that is multi country built.
those kind of airplane always have long delays and become expensive
so now they cannot afford both eurofighter and f35.
they should build it alone next time.
F-22 is among the first AESA, internal carriage of weopons, TVC fighter. so even if numbers are cut capability is still there.
Problem with EF is that numbers are cut but no capability enhancement. There is not even CFT certified.
Another failed programe like EF is Chinese J-10.
Even after 10 years into production it is practically same plane. no AESA, no Engine upgrade, No CFT and certainly no advanced strike capability.
no not really. there is more j10 built than rafale.
j10b has aesa and engine upgrade already. it do not need cft.
j10 do not suffer from four small country trying to build a plane, so project goes faster.
