And what they will get is DUD J-10. Not the ones used by PLAAF...
And after a few years they will be discussing J11, J16, J35, etc....
You can't blame the ghazis. The Radar is of Chinese origin. Alternatively it could be argued by the Paxtanis that the Nigerians forgot to switch on the radar. Keep an eye out for the responses to that tweet by Paxtanis. You'd find gems & eye openers.
And still there are a few members who are impressed by JF 17 block 3 and J-10. Heck even J-20 is no match for Rafale f3R.
Chinese are masters of deception. Even their ancestors used Terra Cotta army to to deter enemies Just like a few animals bloat them to deter their enemies. Same way they exaggerate theirs and their weapons capabilities to deter their enemies and win war by just showing off their capabilities instead of putting foot on the ground...
The last of the original JF-17 prototype (06) while it was operational and how it is today...
In 15 years which will be starting 2035 as first of the PAF JF-17 was inducted in around 2010 every PAF JF-17 will be looking like it rusty flying coffin. Money well spent by Rawalpindi boys.
Boys are playing well..

Prototypes do not enter actual service. They will become rusty public display fast. Careful when you use words like flying coffin when Mig-21 is still flying.View attachment 22654

LCA Tejas prototypes are still flying and are still used for testing various LRUs and are not rusty at all.
LCA TD1 and TD2 are on static display after stripping off the engines and other equipments but due to use of extensive carbon composite materials is in as immaculate condition as was when first flown...
Pak upgraded JF-17 no match for Indian S-400 and Rafale air strike power
The S-400 system is not only about shooting enemy planes from the skies. It is about giving trans-border visibility up to a depth of nearly 300 kilometres into the enemy plain territory.
They are no match for our S125. Or Kubs.Pak upgraded JF-17 no match for Indian S-400 and Rafale air strike power

@randomradio I said this long back in this forum that "Turkish fifth gen fighter will end up with PAF for sure,and it's a heavy class fighter. And we need to upscale AMCA to counter Turkish fighter."
But I was not expected Pak joining the development.
Irony is we still playing with Mmrca tender. What sort of jerks we are.

For those who came in late - any resemblance to the situation described above is coincidental.
Any macabre co relation between the title of the song & the movie isn't.
It's nothing unexpected. They had only two choices. Looks like the Chinese export grade tech isn't up to the mark.
Based on the minimum technical specs released by the Turks, -10 to -20dBsm and mach 1.3 supercruise, TF-X is much more similar to KF-21 B2 than AMCA. And it won't be available in 2027-28, it's expected to fly in 2025, and will take 7 years at the minimum to get to IOC, the same as AMCA Mk1.
We don't need to do anything to AMCA's design. It has significantly better minimum specs than the TF-X.
I am inclined to believe we will be going for 2-3 squadrons of Su-57 anyway. It's head and shoulders above the TF-X.
