BAF F-7 looks cool.nice color scheme.does it has HUD or it lacks this feature??and isn't FIAR Grifo Radar tracks upto 8 targets and has range upto 70 km??

Thanks. It has HUD. The Grifo radar can track 6 and engage 2 and has a range of 57+KM.

Nope they will serve BAF for the next 15 Years atleast, even F-7BGs are hardly 7 years old and would remain in service for atleat a decade.

Please, read the last line:

The 16 aircraft built will serve the Thundercats till 2016 when they will be replaced with 4+/4++ generation aircraft and transferred to 21st reserve squadron which is currently operating former Thundercats F-7MB.

Thankyou for pointing that out, I am still correct after the transfer BGIs would serve atleast for a decade.

All russian origin planes have such a cluttered look. Looks like a 1900 telephone exchange switch board.

Gripen by comparison is so much cleaner

Why did BD not purchase Gripen? It would have been the best choice by far

I second that. Though, the Super MKI's, MiG-35, Su-35 and T-50 would have....less messier cockpit layouts.

Rafale has the best cockpit layout and man-machine interface among 4th gen planes. Period.

F-7BG is an interim arrangement to keep the air force and the pilots exercised. Once we have a patriotic govt - which is happening soon, PAF and PLAAF are going to work out the best options. Whatever aircraft we have must be able to match IAF's best. That is the objective.

Given the timelines, IAF might be flying the T-50 as its "best" fighter. You would need an F-22 to compete :p:

Do not worry. We do not need expensive F-22s to protect our sky from Indian T-50s. Our cheap-priced short, medium and long range land based SAMs will cause your planes to catch fire if the pilots dare to come down enough to bomb our land based assets. By the way, Indian pilots have a reputation of throwing their bombs to the non-important marsh lands, because targeting assets may cause their drunk as*es to burn.

1. Our location is unique. In case of hostilities our long/medium range ground defense will really render all IAF bases around us nonoperational. Any aircraft taking off will be downed.

2. And do you think we will be alone in case of a general war? If not BAF, there will be others who fly antidotes to T-50s.
