[@geodkyt]

@pm No, not really. Not as capable as a 20 year old F-16 airframe that has been maintained well, much less current blocks. Pakistan isn't using them to replace their F-16s, they're using them to replace their obsolescence Mirages, Chinese copies of the MiG-21 and a Chinese derivative of the MiG-19. The JF-17 also has the advantage (to Pakistan) of not being subject to use limits imposed contractually by the US on how they can utilize their F-16s. But it is no where near "better than" the F-16. It *compliments* the F-16, doing *almost* as good as the older F-16s, but at half the cost. That's a good tradefoff for a country like Pakistan (or Argentina) to make, but it is still a tradeoff of capability versus cost.

@@helloworld.w6075 Well, Its upto them. I am more then sure JF-17 will be their selection as it has least British influence. Secondly, Azerbaijan, Iraq are very likely JF-17 future operators. Problem is PAC has only 18 - 20 aircraft development capacity / year. There is already order of 50 JF-17 Block IIIs for PAF. As a pakistani, I want PAF to get these first. Rest of the orders can wait. Also heard there will be follow up order by Nigerian and Myanmay airforces. Malaysia could also select but their requirements are Fighter / Trainer (LIFT) whereas JF-17 is primarily a LCA (Combat aircraft) with dual seat option available as trainer / fighter variant.

Although they are responsible for most of the development of newer blocks.

I found this extremely unlikely, not because of the quality of the plane, but due to the incapacity of the Argentine government to generate any income, even less generating credible debt to afford the planes for at least a couple more decades.
