since the J-20 is rated in a similar way, the F-22 was not sold, not even to GB or Israel.
Pakistan and China are indeed in the same orbit these days, and Deino is correct that J-20 will never be exported, but in regard to the J-10, its really an issue of money and resources for Pakistan. I'm sure they would love to build or buy the J-10, but they just don't have the cashola.... that really drives a lot more defense procurement than it ever has, as high end fighter aircraft are very expensive to build or buy.
So we have the joint JF-17, which seems to be the best compromise meeting the need for an indigenous fighter aircraft.
actually Deino, its 2002 before she became 2004, very nice pictures though, clearly showing the "clipped tips" on the vertical stabs of 2011 and those funky forward gear doors on 2002.
Even though we know so much more, these older photo's remind us of how exciting the early development of this beautiful airplane was, as Deino and others were able to glean so much real data from the amazing photo's of the "wall climbers". I really miss these detailed pictures that gave us some much insight in to the actual development of this amazing aircraft.
Indeed ... stupid me!
Do we have any idea what 2001/2004 are doing these days? still test flying or semi-retired, is the test fleet comprised of the J-20a's alone.
