The top speed is 1,191 knots (1,370 mph)
The JF-17 Thunder fighter jet has a maximum speed of approximately Mach 1.6, which is around 1,200 kilometers per hour (about 745 miles per hour) at altitude. This speed allows it to perform effectively in various air combat scenarios. The aircraft is designed for versatility and cost-effectiveness, making it a popular choice for several air forces.
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.
