    JF-17 Thunder / FC-1 Xiaolong

    No idea mate. I don't want IQ to get into barter of F16 with JF17 with Pakistan. Although chances of that (barter) is remote.

    I saw an anti-ship missile and a fighter jet separately. Didn't see the ASM attached to the pylon, didn't see the fighter jet firing/launching that ASM missile.

    Splitter plate or gap is to avoid or redirect the already formed boundary layer ( growth from fuselage) from entering into the inlet. You cannot write that splitter plate/ gap is used to avoid the boundary layer from entering; but rather 'boundary layer already formed from entering'. As because...

    With Tejas it will take time. Atleast the time will be similar to TejasMax ( TejEX? ). Also UK govt has few more handles to twist in India. Read the UK-India aero-engine development, HAL BAE partnership for Hawk-i development. So, your government is prudent. But better go with MiG 35 than JF-17...

    Myanmar bought FC1 and not JF-17. They named it Ruby Thunder. I am trying to make a distinction because I feel the IP of FC1 is with China ( exclusively) and JF17 is jointly held between Pak & China. You can think of Barak8 and MR SAM as an example. Barak 8 IP is with Israel exclusively, while...

    More apt example would be Yakhont and Brahmos in the initial years. If Yakhont would get a customer, India would not receive any penny from the proceeds. But if Brahmos were to be sold India and Russia would share proceeds ( JV being 51:49). But, in the early years, Yakhont and Brahmos shared...

    FC1 (put in Chinese Name) JF-17 (Thunder) (Pakistan) (Designation) (Ruby Thunder) (Myanmar) Only saving Grace is the fact that Pakistanis believe they have received royalty from Myanmar sale. I have a different view of the JV. If FC1 is sold, Pakistan doesn't get any proceeds of the sale. But...

    And here I thought, first flight would take place in Pakistan. According to Pakistanis, Pakistan is a equal partner in the JV. Also, Pakistan is the primary operator of this type. Also, it has been a decade since block1 and one would naturally think that Pakistan would take the lead in the JV...

    None of your original posts contained any links or sources. What do you expect? Posters here to put a pair pliers up your ass to pull them out from deep inside? This proves exactly what I had written above. Hypocrisy of Chinese poster. But, you have all the time to paste un-sourced...

    Already available Sir, please go through this thread. JF-17/FC-1 is the most deserving candidate. What better, you will get 3x the number for the same budget ( yes that was official marketing line). Even more, Chinese are testing systems for Hot and humid setting, so if your Air-force shows...
