It looks quite questionable to me. I hope those are not edited images.
Does that JF-17 have an AESA radar mounted? If not the PL-15 will not be able to achieve its maximum performance.
I was trying to help others but him/her. I was trying to make it easier for others without engineering background to understand what he/she really means.
Thanks for this highly accurate explanation!
Worth pointing out that the data process takes consecutive records and there should be a threshold being set against each stream of values respectively. Hence distinctive objects can be identified individually.
Therefore triangulation liked...
They need to spend a lot more than only procuring new fighter jets. For example, their air defense radar coverage is reportedly far less than 100% and they have no modern long range SAMs like S-300 or Patriot. So they are highly vulnerable to any real air strikes.
Let's see if they can work out...
JF-17 has a bigger nose than Rafale, and AESA radars developed by Chinese firms are using the third generation T/R modules while Rafale's new AESA radar is still on the second generation, which means a JF-17 Block III has a much bigger chance to detect and shoot at a Rafale earlier.
The key for...
Although as an outsider and being with no evidence, I still think it is quite possible and the delivery could come with JF-17 Block III. PL-10's long shooting range and infrared imaging seeker is extraordinarily lethal and I hope JF-17 can get some of them. Another solution could be developing...
Comparing to Type 052D, it is quite fascinating that the Type 055 looks smaller than it actually is. Is that because of the bigger 130mm gun or something?
