if having the same avionics/radar/missiles, J10A can easily defeated F16 .
J10 itself is a playform much superior to F16.
afterall, J10 rolled out 2 decades after F16.:blum3:
Do you have any proof that the radar, weapons systems, avionics, are better then an F-16 C/D Block-52? Nothing China has produced or known by outsiders shows this at all so I don't see how you can make that claim. The 2 decades time period means very little most of China's early productions were very primitive. To me they made huge step in the five to eight years like many countries have.
Looking just at aircraft tech and production China hasn't released anything publicly that near a Gripen, Mirage 2000-5/9, Rafale, EF2000, F-15C, F-16C, F-15E, F-22, and so many others really.
J-10 - I'm suppose believe all the fanboys stuff there's still no solid proof on any of its capabilities
J-11A,B - Really the same as the J-10 its never been seen outside China so nobody really knows
J-8 I like this aircraft for one I know the UK engines are real and can track how many were bought and sold so its real.
J-7 This has been sold its real
I feel the same way about Russia's PAK-FA program and about half dozen Russian aircraft, missiles, tanks, helicopters programs that never seem to get produced or seen in public.
China's AF would be very happy to have a solid performer as the F-16 so don't knock it so quickly.
The most advance Flankers produced in the world still can't do everything F/A-18C/D & F-16 Block-C/D can do air to ground wise and there ten plus years old the latest Blocks are even better.
