JF-17 as it stands is developed for Pakistan's requirements. If PLAAF wants it to become a Q-5 replacement, then the twin-seater will be modified that way.Fenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351872761178293322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810814791836407713.post-68567526346759616102007-10-05T21:52:00.000-07:002007-10-05T21:52:00.000-07:00Regarding the comments from dlhh above, I am not s...Regarding the comments from dlhh above, I am not sure Tejas is going to be a successful program<BR/>for the IAF despite many claims for it's superiority over JF-17.

I never come across a jet trainer that is so developed to be an MRCA as well as Xialong fighter! India has already committed to an very advanced Light MRCA aircraft called Tejas with composite body parts, glass cockpit and Israeli AESA radar. This plane will b India's answer to Pakistan's JF-17 and China's FC-1. Large numbers of Tejas could well consitute a deadly threat and PLA might well have to upgrade the FC-1 with AESA radar to acheive parity!dlhhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01217634437606075993noreply@blogger.com
