Mirages are laughing

I hear you loud and clear but only difference is that those Mirages were made by France and JF-17 is made in Pakistan.

JF-17 Block I aircraft entered service around 2007-2010. By the mid-2030s, many will have accumulated significant flight hours.

• Structural fatigue increases maintenance costs.
• Availability rates tend to decline with age.
• Modern replacements may offer lower lifecycle costs than extensive refurbishment.

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

I hear you loud and clear but only difference is that those Mirages were made by France and JF-17 is made in Pakistan.

And mirage still very good in low level strike but JF-17 is only good on medium and high-altitude missions, and its main mission is air superiority mission after J-10C/ F-16 rather than true strike jet, and it's not 100% made by Pakistan but more than 40% parts comes from China

We are discussing block 1, not block 3 and regarding of what percentage of it is made in Pakistan, Block 1 designers did not necessarily leave the same growth margins found in larger fighters like Mirage-2000 and F-16s.
