With standoff weapons, BVRAAMs, EW suites....airframes and maneuverability is not that much of an issue in modern warfare.
F35 is largely criticized for not matching up to F16s & F15s in a dogfight.................but F35's strong suite is not dogfight................
Net-net, the power balance between these fighters will keep shifting as and when newer avionics/weaponry is added.
But given that Tejas design/software is fully under India's control it can add newer weapons more easily (unlike JF17 that is dependent on China)
That said, JF17 also enjoys the benefit that any weapon in vast arsenal of China that it decides to give to Pakis, will be quickly integrated (unlike India's case which has limited domestic arsenal & will depend on foreign vendors for non-Indian weapons integration)
There is no point to compare jf17...with tejas.......
Tejas mk1a will have an isarel radar....but jf17 mk3 will have a Chinese radar...
Tejas will have...Israel derby. .Russian r73...indian astra......but jf17 will have Chinese weapons..,
Hal ,iaf is free to choose its weapon platform ...but paf is forced to choose chineese one.....
Again jf17 block 3 will have hmd and aesa...
While tejas ioc variants too have hmd......though mk1a will have aesa(elta 2052 and Chinese are developing an aesa)
Again hal has said tejas ioc s can be upgraded up to mk1a in mlu...but still now no news of jf17 block one upgradation.........
Then jf17 block 2 has only ifr.....but tejas foc has ifr.....
Without ifr jf17 wont be able to go inside India........
Another point....jf17 replacing paf mirages and j7.....and complimenting old f16...
Where as lca will replace mig21 bison and mig 27..........
Paf don't have any other fighter program no new induction than jf17 block 2...later 3...
But iaf has 3 new fighter programs .
1.mk1a
2.mwf
3.amca
And 2 new induction..
1.rafale
2.tejas foc
Forget about sukhoi 30 mkI and old mig29(21) induction from russia
So......as an indian dont compare with jf17
And....why paf is running away to showcase its jf17. In front of teja
Bhai sorry for quoting you .....I was just want to be discussion so quoted you.....
