Come to think of it, (Thanks to hongkongdong), only match for JF-17 thundaar is SS Botany Bay.
With these impeccable specs, it will give a run for life to SS Botany Bay.

JF-17 Thundaar (4th Gen):

From the specialist HKD,
Cant find all the specs for the JF-17 either. But JF-17 is considered to be 70% as manoeverable as the F-16 (not sure which block, but probably original designs of each),
however, it has a high climb rate which allows it to intercept fourth generation fighters.
I have read its airframe is third generation but again, its airframe is supposedly based on the product 33 design of the eighties from the same era as the modern day Mig-29 which should make it fourth generation at least.
It's certainly a fourth generation fighter, a bit lacking on top speed, but for interception it's not required. F-16s have a better payload than the JF-17 though.
The climb rate and turn rate of the JF-17 is enhanced by the position of the wings way behind the canopy.
Avionics of the JF-17 are supposedly pretty good actually.
