Re: Argentine officials confirm joint-production talks over China's FC
JFT is a BVR capable fighter
Like PAF even they can order from brazil the MAA-1B which is a twin brother of python 4
JFT will give a tough fight to EFT
lets see Argentina is discussing Fc-1 with china with which package.
it could be a block 2 with NRIET AESA,J-10B avionics,ws-13A engine.
IF they get this package.JFT atleast would have a payload of 6tons.speed of 2mach,twr above 1.
Will be a good 4.5th generation fighter for less than 50millions
@farhan, have you already seen your doctor? And your psychiatrist?
What YJ-12??? CM-400 and YJ-12 are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MISSILES.
There are no awesome or unique features in CM-400 - Its analogs (and prototypes) are IN SERVICE more than 30 years (Kh-58A from 1973).
What the shit are you talking about?
What WS-13 engines??? They are dead. Dead, do you understand??? Chinese cannot produce them even for themselves. They have poor performance and life. J-31 flew on RD-93
Google the articles about Chinese Year 2035 Indigenous Engine Technology Programme.
Those programme has stated that Chinese engine development is insufficient to develop and produce ANY viable 4-gen fighter engine.
So, they hope to be able to build 4-4.5 Gen engines after 2035!!! What the f**ck WS-13???
Are you living in another reality???
Pak JF-17 will fly on RD-93 to the end of its lifecycle, until some dear (or underfunded) European country will gibe the bone to Packs. And NO technology transfers!
As for BWR... JF-17 is rediculous because its missiles (SD-10) are capable of flying 50-65km only (AIM-120C-7 - 100km, RVV-SD - 110km, just for comparison).
And another one: JF-17 is subsonic-manouverable fighter (with an uncertain maneurability). It cannot manouver being supersonic.
But supersonic manouverability is one of the key success factors in BVR combat tactics - if you can perform supersonic manouvers you can outrun missiles, which were launched from the long distances. And also you can play with your foe using your rules.
But JF-17 has poor supersonic performance as well as poor maneurability (which is clearly visible on Airshows flights videos).
About AESA... This is even not funny to write the same truth so many times...
So, If Argentina would have money, it will never order JF-17.
