They were doing aerobatics within the cockpit so they couldn’t tell you that. WTF are ppl on JF-17 is at most a 3.5 gen fighter. Are the jf17 pilots stunt man? Even when they preformed in Islamabad in September this year i was not AWSTRUCT by them compared to the F-16. Even the PAF love F-16 why cant we ppl just accept the facts?
absolutely right
fazool…ghatiya …clickbait… propk this is bul****t
Let us get ourselves rid of this fool’s paradise. If the aircraft was so capable, it would have been used in FATA operations, Feb skirmishes between Pak and India. It wasn’t. That’s because it is good only for airshows and all but not actual combat. We need to stop fooling ourselves and build a real deterrence.
