Following the recent war games where, according to Pakistan, the Chinese fighters comprehensively outperformed the F-16, looks like Pakistan is investing more heavily in Chinese aircraft.

Nice they finally managed to outperform and old as fuck American jet fighter

No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.

Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.

they really out performance it, or it's just to justify the the jet bought

It's justifying their purchase of the Next-generation Chinese jet, so I'll let you decide.

It's a significantly newer plane it seems, and it is meant to be on par with the F35
