    The F-16 was even outclassed by the J-17 in the recent Pakistani Operation Indus Shield 2023 exercises according to recent reports.

      Like I said to the other guy, if that’s even true, it doesn’t matter because Russia doesn’t field the J-17.

      If China wants to give Ukraine j-17s, I’m sure they’d be happy to take them.
