Like the infinitely cool F-16N

I cant see the picture, maybe the hotlink is broken, but Im gonna guess boeing 747 anyways.

JF-17 Thunder

Looks like a Mirage F-1 ripoff. Since it's chinese I may even be right bout that.

Entendard it is.

Yea, the chinese just relabeled some SUs und MIGs, but the J-10 looks kinda unique. It bears a slight resemblance with the EF, but only on first sight.

It's a copy too. It's a copy of Israel's IAI Lavi. It resembles the eurofighter cause of the delta wings and te canards... both of those jets are . China is in love with mig and sukhoi... they just don't admit it. And you're right, I wonder who the JF-17 thunder was plagiarized from...

The Chinese actually got licenses from Russia to produce those aircraft in China...the Chinese-produced versions have different names. That's why they've been doing it for years decades with no bitching from Russia.

And, yes, the J-10 looks an awful lot like the Lavi...which looks an awful lot like the F-16. That's one way to get around tech transfer laws.

Yes. Israeli Aircraft Industries made the Lavi to function as a counter to the F-16. Lots of countries needed a counter to the F-16, so China borrowed the Lavi design and made it better. They weren't alllowed to use the original Pratt and Whitney's because of the USA's export bans to China, so they settled with the heavier Russian engines instead. Meaning that the J-10 isn't as powerful as the F-16 in most aspects, although it comes very very close. Besides, the F-16's are sometimes called "flying computers" as some people have said to me. I doubt the J-10 or even the Super-10 has that much technology in it.

Regarding their specs they're nearly the same, so I doubt that the J-10 is any inferior in that department. As far as avionics go that's another thing, but they prolly got a lot from the russian considering the advanced FCS required cause of their inherently unstable design.
And the J-10 even has an IRST.

Yes, but I'm in love with the F-16. Considering, the Mig-29, J-10, and F-16 are all very similar. The victorious ones in combat will probably be the ones with more skilled pilots.

SNCase Aquilon, but your right, the aquilon's just Frances licensed built version. Oh yeah, and what RDX-FX said. While we're waiting for coke, here's an easy one.
