I wasn't familiar with a JF-17 so I looked up some images. I'm way behind on modern planes but that thing sure looks like a bunch of spare parts from an old Northrop F-5E and an F-16 were slapped together to make hybrid plane. Reminds me of the old Fischer P-75 prototype that was a hybrid of multiple plane type parts.
