Re: JF-17/FC-1 Fighter Aircraft thread 2009
I suppose you mean in a close range dogfighting type of combat. That may possibly be true. On the other hand, in long range fighting J-11B will have the advantage hands down. More MRAAMs carried, larger nosecone = larger radar = longer range, especially if the both of them start sporting PESAs or AESAs in the next few years.
that's fine, but JF-17 would be over-matched by a J-10 in A2A combat, whereas not even J-11B would be able to over match J-10 in A2A combat.
