The top speed is 1,191 knots (1,370 mph)
nope, currently sports chines made radar
Maximum speed: Mach 1.8 , (1,191 knots, 2,205 km/h)
because their pilots are more skilled and the PAF is jointly developing the JF-17 Thunder with CHina
jf-17 block 1 is 4th generation but jf-17 block 2 is 4++

Its airframe, made of advanced carbon fibre composites, is light years ahead of the Jf-17 Thunder's all-metal airframe. The same goes for the Tejas' aerodynamics which, because of the compound delta-wing, extensive wing-body blending, and low wing loading are superior to those of the Thunder, which has a more conventional layout along the lines of the F-16 and a rejected Soviet light fighter design. As far as flight dynamics and control go, the Tejas, with its relaxed static stability and quadruplex, full authority fly-by-wire digital flight control system, is far more advanced than the Thunder, which still features conventional controls (fly-by-wire exists only for pitch control).ANS 2 - Having read all the available specs on both of these aircraft, I would say they are extremely well matched. Both have known and reliable engines, both have a similar weapons load, both use the same 23 mm cannon. The differences will come in the avionics suite and in the ability of the pilots.

J-10 is far more better than jf-17 in terms of everything including armament.
25 right now and they should have 200 by the end of 2015 equipped with more avionics and a AESA radar to make it a modern 4.5 gen aircraft.
It will be unwise to compare these two aircrafts. But if said so, jf-17 is single engine aircraft therefore, the payload it will take will be much less. The other thing is that its thrust/weight ratio will directly depend upon the engine it carries. Currently it is said that the engine of JF-17 will be RD-93 which is used as one of the two engines in Mig-29 so in principle JF-17 should have atleast half the weight of MiG-29. JF-17 will be primarily used as air superiority aircraft on the other hand MiG-29 is a multi-role aircraft. The main advantages JF-17 will have over MiG-29 is the low maintenance cost and new airframe with composite materials.
Pakistan relies mainly on 4 different kinds of fighter planes. F-16, JF-17 Thunder, Mirage III and F-7P are the names of these fighter planes. Mig-29 is less advanced as compared to JF-7 as Mig-29 is equipped with old technology which was engineered by Russia in 1973.
Jf-17 is no match to su-30mki and su-30mki is equivalent to f-22 raptor in terms of maneuverability even though it doesn't have aesa radar. .
