In whole world before Folkland war in 1980s, no one knew the strength & capabilities of Exositic missile of France. When it was successfully deployed against British Naval ship, whole of world started thinking of purchasing and making a stock of this particular missile in their inventory. JF-17 will prove itself one day against enemy and big adversary. That day, Insha-Allah whole of Arab and Muslim world will start running for this fighter plane. Fastest (above 2 mac), heavy with big sizes usually do not helpful in war and specially in dog fights. Mostly fire and forgets usually goes without kill. Fighters has to come face to face for a fight even if they have superior machines and weapons loaded on. Mirage 2000 is the right adversary of JF-17. Su27, Mig 29 etc will be like white elephant for the enemy. till then best of luck for JF-17.
