China FC-1 04 will fly
Is it on a conveyor belt?
More seriously, is it the same as the FC-1 here?
No indication it will be comparable to the JSF, more like an F-16 clone
Your link is too old to be seen I have to say frankly
If you guys so despise development of FC-1, you will pay for this!
The F-16 Block 50/60 almost has no maneuverablity to compatite with FC-1 04. While two fighter do dogfight in air, more load is secondary!

The f-16 is the most maneuverable current gen mass produced fighter in existence. You have to look at next gen designs to find more maneuverability. And, the FC-1 04 is clearly based on current gen tech, at least in terms of flight surfaces.

I can't see how the FC1-04 is being compared to the MRCA tender a/c including the MiG-29SMT, Mirage-2k5.
And who put all those tags like "better than LCA", "India scared"..

Well there was something abt the PAF wanting to "evolve" their fighter keeping in mind the inevitable MRCA acquisitions by India, and thus modifying the FC-1. That would seem like you/whoever wrote that is propping the FC-1 as a counter to these MRCA contenders.
The F-16 is DEFINATELy more agile than the only partially fly-by-wire FC-1 although I think your assertion that the F-16 is the most agile current generation mass produced fighter is open to wquestion, in particular the Saab Gripen and Sukhoi Su-30MKI are almost certainly more agile. And if Yeman's mig-29s (/33s) have the OVT-thrust vectoring control as rumoured, then they are too.
