Exactly! And this is what they don't seem to be willing to talk about:
IAF/PAF in 2025:
LCA 123- JF-17 150+
MiG-29UPG 70- F-16 80
Mirage 2000 50- Mirage V 90
Jaguar DARIN III 60- Mirage III 90
Rafale F3R+ 90+ - ??
Su-30MKI 300+ - ??
FGFA 20- ??
So on quantity and quality the PAF is utterly...
Are you serious? The LCA is the LOWEST rung in the IAF meant to be used for air policing and rear-guard duties and still is more impressive than even your Blk.3 JF-17.
Who is claiming it is superior to the MKI or Rafale?
The sad reality you have to come to terms with is that EVERY fighter in...
Ah, so I just have to take your word for it? You can't provide any objective criteria?
Anyone that knows about these things agrees on that but in your mind the suped up MiG-21 aka JF-17 is magically superior to it.......
So what sensors and weapons will the JF-17 carry that will allow it to be superior to one of the world's finest A2A fighters?
Another delusion I suppose.
And India wishes the same about the JF-17, oh wait, you guys are actually making that a reality whilst India is also inducting MKIs and Rafales :woot::woot::woot::woot:
- What AESA? LCA will have that (EL/M-2052/Uttam)
- What HMD? LCA has already got that (DASH-III/TARGO-2)
- You haven't integrated a LDP yet? LCA has already got that (LITENING G3/4)
- HOBS? LCA has already got that (R-73E and now integrating Python-V)
When is the Blk.3 meant to be ready?
What AESA will it have? You guys haven't even integrated HMD on it yet!
The JF-17 had an incredibly limited development plan, no wonder it was in service a while ago.
