Looks like a Saab Lansen or a MiG from the 1970s.

I have heard that the Russians are very upset about it.
They have sold some jet engines to China with a clause not to resell them to the third parties.
The Chinese had some problems with their own engnes, so they have installed the Russian ones to those jets and thus avoided the penalties from the Pakistanis.

Will the Russians have the balls to penalise the Chinese remains to be seen...

So it doesn't have a drill press motor from Central Machinery?

Rats, I was hoping I could build my own for $150.

I wonder if after a year you can stick your finger through the metal...

JF-17,and we call it FC-1, is not a junk.Pakistan has F-16, they are not fool.

I think its capability is close to F-16A/B

Closer in looks to J35 "Draken" then J32 "Lansen".
"Lansen" has a more rounded nose.

As you were.
