Nice pic of the R-25 engine seen by the petal design. Didn't know F-16s were equipped with the R-25.

Against the F-16V, the JF-17 looks to be in 3rd place. Hell, even its newest block III upgrade incorporating a Chinese built AESA radar, it still looks like its behind...

The new model is stated to be much improved over the original baseline. It is believed that it will be fitted with a Chinese KLJ-7A active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar that is advertised as having a maximum range of 105 miles against a conventional fighter. It is also reported to be capable of tracking fifteen targets and of engaging four simultaneously.

The APG-83 SABR looks better than that.
