Gr8 choice by SL. Congrats to them for brand new bird and congrats to Pak also for winning first order. I wish it was LCA but its not even yet operational....SL knows what she needs and decided as per. I do not understand why some Indian bros are behaving like narrow minded on their decision to purchase JFT...
LCA has 6 squadrons worth order from IAF which buys some of the best planes in the world after through scrutiny.That one order speaks about the quality of tejas.But JF-17 is not in service in the nation that designed it,which flies planes far inferior and older than JF-17.
Speaks volumes about it's credibility.Instead it is being sold to each and every member of the "broke and rogue nations inc", of the world.
Some nuts from across the border are celebrating it as deal of the century, and you are congratulating it and saying LCA is not even ready.
Do you know production line for tejas is already there?Do you know the significance of fly by wire controlled relaxed static stability?DO you know the significance of the deadly combination of fly by wire controlled relaxed static stability and low wing loading?
And they are buying a "BRAND NEW "plane which was not futuristic enough in the home country from where it was designed shows their intelligence.
Chinese airforce did not accept JF-17 because by the time it debuted it was below the modern military avionic world standard ,despite the fact that they have very many older obsolete planes that cry for replacement.
Because considering it as a frontline fighter and tying scarce resources like pilots and airbases to JF-17 for the next 30 years won't give them any significant edge over any other older enemy fighter let alone new fighters in service in the neighbourhood .
This is glossed over by glibly saying"THAT JF-17 IS INTENDED FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS".
Like every other item in PAK's missile inventory the pakis are claiming it is a joint venture and you are congratulation our SRILANKAN BROs for this sagacious move.
