In its class the technology that goes into it is not... If air frame is air worthy you can stick latest engine and avionics in it.

Im proud Pakistan got it's act together to R&D, and produce their own plane. A lot of hard work I'm sure.

However lets not claim this is the best thing since sliced bread. A lot of the technology is still outsourced as opposed to locally produced. a few generations old in comparison to other fighters. What it does do is get out foot in the door, hopefully next fighter a big step up for us.
