  1. clear F-16 influence. Chop the wings off and place it next to an F-16 fuselage if you don't believe me. Plus, the US gov did provide some degree of assistance on the LAVI. Mirage -> Kfir F-16 -> LAVI -> J-10 I love both the Kfir and the LAVI though, don't get me wrong.

  2. We absolutely know the J-10 is a LAVI copy. Are you going to claim the J-11 isn't a copy? or the multitude of other knockoffs, like the Mig 17, Mig 21, C-17, IL transport, J-31, Russian aircraft carrier copy, and many more. China copies, that's what they do.

  3.  @gibbsm  Nor are most countries that develop aircraft. Aircraft are expensive, so you emulate what works to save money. Iran, China, Israel, Japan, South Korea... even Russia.
