About JF-17
JF-17 is a joint Chinese-Pakistani effort to create a low-cost, light-weight, single-engine, modern multi-role fighter. The wording “low-cost” should not be read as “cheap.” It has a lot of fancy features and capabilities, but it is focused on what is deemed critical to have, and on what needs to work well, rather than taking a bloated kitchen-sink approach.
