... may soon be the most widely operated combat aircraft in the world!!

Not sure what he smoked, but he should stop it!

I can’t but help wonder if the JF-17 would have sold better if China inducted a small batch of them as OPFOR units in Dingxin and/or Cangzhou. The JF-17 can probably simulate light fighter like the IDF pretty well.

I think what the author wrote was a sour grape rather what he means the JF-17 will dominate fighter aircraft market.

We call these type of articles "clickbait" a few years ago

And Eurasian Times and Economic times both reported about JF17 problems in Myanmar. Yes, only Indian media reported it.

If JF-17 is junk then Tejas must be worse than junk.

Zero chance of being chosen. Couldn't they at least put it at 5 percent or something?

The only thing good on Tejas is probably its engine. If Jf17 manages to get an engine similar to or better than F414/EJ200 it'll be pretty neat. Not saying RD33/93 is bad, their lifespan are quite short. Maintenance became a burden on Mig29 users. Then again i've not heard about PAF complaining about RD93.
