F22 photo is taken from a distance with a telephoto lens and does not suffer from lens distortion whereas TFX photo is taken from close up distance and uses a wide angle and possibly a mobile phone camera which suffers from camera lens bulbous distortion. It will look somewhat different when photographed from a distance with a telephoto lens, FYI.
For Indonesia: possible future market. Nothing more, nothing less.
About that Mirage... ugh... No, we can't get it apparently.
Pakistan is the poorest among them all.
What joke? It‘s a well known fact that Pakistan gives Chinese access to US and Western arms tech.

Yeah. The posibility is quite huge now for that. But even after Viper upgrade, all those birds need to be retired in 2040s. Flanker, in 2030s.
And also from a different angle (above and to the side vs below and to the front), which some people previously didn't understand and thought the intakes had become tiny.
What joke? It‘s a well known fact that Pakistan gives Chinese access to US and Western arms tech.
Only one prominent example:
„Perhaps the highest-profile episode of suspected U.S. aviation technology transfer to China by way of Pakistan happened in 2011: Following the raid on Abbottabad that killed al Qaeda head Osama bin Laden, U.S. intelligence officials charged that Pakistan's spy service granted Chinese military technicians access to a downed Black Hawk helicopter and permitted them to take samples of the aircraft's skin, which contained state-of-the-art stealth technology.“
Pakistan and China's Almost Alliance
Policymakers in the United States and throughout Asia should take note of why the Sino-Pakistani relationship has endured for so long, what each partner gets from the other, and what inherent limitations prevent the union from developing into a true alliance.
Well, although in Pakistan defense, there is no agreement Pakistan has to protect that technology (Pakistan didn't buy those helos) and US did violate Pakistani sovereignty using that Hawks so....What joke? It‘s a well known fact that Pakistan gives Chinese access to US and Western arms tech.

Well, while giving secret shelter for years to the global no. 1 terrorist they had no entitlement to any sovereignty. Fuck with America, America will fuck you up. Fair game.
and? China is superpower and dont have clash of interests with Turkiye .Pakistan‘s Chinese creditors, ahem, friends would love to dismantle a TFX to the last screw
China‘s J-20 is Chinese definition of 5 gen. There‘s always room for improvement with sophisticated Western block tech that Turkey is still an important strategic part of despite all political differences (NATO).
SK would put him in the next Turkish Air flight to Istanbul, with a kick in the butt and handcuffed as a package for his Turkish travel guides.
Here is the comment I was looking for. When you look at this list you can say that Pakistan can not support this project financially and technologically. And there will be a price to make Pakistan partner in this project considering it's relations whit China.
