    JF-17 Thunder / FC-1 Xiaolong

    J10C production line is still open. So getting J10C early isn't much of a surprise. It is far cheaper to operate single engine fighter than a double engine fighter. That is why they have kept the J10C production line still open. As far as J31 don't make me laugh. They are pouring more resources...

    What do you think of J10C? Any literature you have written here like the ones you have written about air battles? Can you give a brief summary about J10C here why you think it is not upto F-16 standard?

    Firing PL-15 from JF-17 should not be a big deal as PAF has selected Chinese air cooled AESA radar for block 3 version. However, the effectiveness of the air cooled radar can be debated. Having said that it is still JF-17. The airframe remains the same and also the engine remains more or less...

    I can't recall Chinese sending any of their fighter jets to air shows abroad. Correct me if I am wrong. While we keep hearing J20 as some kind of apex fighter which can take on F22 and F35 there is still little to no information about J20. It is hard to know which one is their frontline fighter...

    How do you see the ASELPOD Turkey supplied for JF-17? How does it compare to litening Pod of Israelis which we also use? What about our indigenous pod? How much progress we have made? I hope I have not overloaded with too many questions.

    I highly doubt they are interested in Russian Jet Engine technology given the low shelf life and high maintenance which comes with Russian Engines. They had access and still have access to Russian Jet Engines, if they haven't successfully reverse engineered before they won't be able to do it...

    Pakistanis going for a Russian Engine? I thought Chinese have cracked the Jet Engine code. No?
