Its a surprisingly good looking aircraft while in flight. The Input of "western planes" experienced Pakistani design engineers is evident as far as airframe design goes with the LERX and DSI. Looks a lot like f-18 at some angles and also a touch of F-16 on the wings. I wasn't expecting a plane which would send shock waves in the Russian Aircraft industry and also in the western Aircraft industry as an extremely potent competitor for 4rth generation aircraft market. A lot of countries would see this an extremely cost effective replacement for there aging fleets.

Great ground-shots at the beginning, with the "panoramic" screen shape really emphasizing the sleek lines of the fighter. Wonder how much gas they burn up at take-off!!

Nice video, first I've seen of the JF-17 flying. I thought the Israelis were rumoured to have contributed to its development as well?
