The JF-17 is a poor man’s workhorse. It was never meant to be comparable to the heavier US fighters but you can’t underestimate it. It’s a modern day Mig-21/F-5. The Pakis are likely to integrate Western (Italian/South African) electronics on to it.

Apparently the parachute and ejection seat were also made in China.

RIP Sqn. Ldr. Hussain.
