MIG-29 looking like a kid in front of SU-27.
@ although today they might have a combine force of 500 SU-27 and MIG-29
but till 2015 i am seeing this force rich with combine mix of(100MIG-35,50 SU-35BM & 50 SU-34)
type-59(t-55) and typr60 are already going through the process of being retired from the army itself.
but al-zarrar is an extra-ordinarily upgraded type-60 MBT which is totally different from before
just close down this thread there is no further use remaining
for it to remain open

bur for a BVR missile lock you need a long range radar
and sorry to say that AEWACS can't increase your missile lock range
how can 60KM combat radius radar can help you to lock a target 80-100 KM away
then it's own position......an either way F-7PG can detect targets at between 60-100KM range if...
JF-17 BLOCK I is equal to current PAF's F-16B/B(MLU) in terms of capabilities
because both have BVR capability and both have limited payload options under their wings
more then 2000 deaths both in swat and bajaur nearly 1000-2000 in all from kurram ,mohmad,khyber and north waziristan during (2007-till now,after lal-masjid operation)...and nearly 700 deaths in recent SWA operation.....
i think TTP must be running short of coffins these days...
italian card is still left on our hand but even after the disapproval from italian firms
then there is no option left but to go with future advanced chinese avionics
it can carry only two BVR at one time(no other missile) which is it's biggest disadvantage and plus it's radar range in air to air mode
is just 50 km according to above specification
