The Chinese sold the Mig 19 derivative(Shenyang) to a number of countries because it was dirt cheap.Not for its quality(PAK was a customer) that is true for this also. The Chinese are inducting only limited numbers of this A/c into their own military. That shows the quality of their product.Reporter should do some background reading before publishing such articles

F-17 is based on MiG31 air frame which was rejected by russia as the fighter didnt proov to be successful, chineese buy from them and reconstructed or reengeeniered the old air frame and is selling to countries ike pakistan
We all know that india is producing LCA TEJAS on its own and pakistan and china wamts to match that , but the fact lies that the pakistan don't have any technology and thay only assemble the parts given by the china.
The interesting part is that the world is going for fifth generation fighter or the advanced fourth generation fighter which are near to fifth generation fighter, how other country demand for a third generation fighter. COUNTRY LIKE INDIA ARE planning to removing the obsolete third generation fighter from there air force then how efficient this fighter will be in future against the fourth and fifth generation fighter , these F-17 will not stand against the forth and fifthe generation fighter at all.

May be you don't know, India has already made a light combat aircraft,Tejas,which mysteryously is not being inducted to service.Probabky Air force top brass are not interested as there is no comission for them.

we r far ahead in the terms of technology the tejas is far ahead then this chinese fighter and is close to standard of rafale and the other advanced fourth generation fighters in the world where as the F-17 is the best only with pak air force which does not have any reputation in the world

Manish u have a big ego, we are nowhere close to the standards of Rafale or advance fighter jets. The Tejas was technology developed 50 years ago.

it work started in late eighties and the fighter took shape in late 90's but we were not having the advance facilities so the fighter was not tested for two years and it kept standing in hanger.
The avionics used are just 18 onth old from now and these fighter are kept upgrading the software on which the fighter super computer works. As far as the standard of tejas in concerned you can check on line articles for your information to be updated

Chinese are slowly and silently capturing pakis without their knowledge. The pakis have not assessed them. Their aim is to dissociate kashmir for which they have befriended the cheats and will sufferlater
