The jf 17 is better than tejas i think .
The JF17 was a russian rejected design purchased by China, later china rejected it and glued to Pakistan.
JF17 is very old platform and actually operating it is like downgrading from latest technology, it suits better to countries with very small defence budget only That too only if they cant even buy second hand aircrafts.
Waja after reading all technical spec you think still JF17 is good Okay Tell Us what is in Good.
Jf-17 is not better than tejas because tejas us 4.5th gen and jf-17 is 4 th gen
