My point is read my previous posts, the official brochure has a different range thus you are wrong I would take word out of CAC/PAC then Janes Defense. News always gets updated keep track of JFT Thread.
No BAF did not, after few years of waiting BAF only opt for F-7BGI slow procurment process like hindustan with a different of budget constraint in BAF case, BAF cannot afford $21M Trainer, If you say Yes then JFT is far better product in all terms, If you say No then you are one confuse man.
Now I know you have 0 knowledge of Aviation. Fail! After what I have read from you your logic fails Italy should replace F-16s and Typhoons with M-346 Geez!!
1. Jane's says JF-17 radar has a look-up range of 75km and look-down range of 35km. I have said the same thing in all my posts. So, again what is your point? are you lost or something?
2. BAF is in the process of replacing both T-37Tweet and L-39ZA. They are looking for a better trainer options that can meet the training requirements for the future fighter procurement program. Over the last 4-5 years they have been planning and evaluating potential options in this regard. They have evaluated L-159 several times. However, it does not meet the air forces trainer requirement completely. They are now looking into much more advanced options like M-346, YAK-130, KAI T-50, BAE Hawk, Mig-AT, Hongdu L-15 etc. If you read Air Chief's statement in London he mentioned that the Air force is looking forward to replace the trainers. He also mentioned that the future procurement shall concentrate more on quality and electronics rather than quantity. He also said that even if the price is high then he will go for quality sacrificing quantity. 8-16 of these aircraft shall fulfill the requirement.
3. I said it can replicate the performance of many 4th to 5th generation fighters. Please, before coming to a stupid conclusion read well and understand what is been written there. Yes, they surely can put some M-346 or YAK-130 in their LIFT role before they send their pilots flying EF-2000.
For your reference:
a. Air force Technology: The Avionica fly-by-wire flight control system is used to adjust the stability and controllability characteristics and flight safety systems to simulate a number of aircraft such as the MiG-29, Su-27, Su-30, F-15, F-16, F-18, Mirage 2000, Rafale, Typhoon and future fighters such as the F-35.
b. Yakovlev official website: The aircraft is equipped with complex fly-by-wire control system that functions as automatic flight control system, active flight safety system and provides in training stability and controllability characteristics change depending on the aircraft being simulated.
c. Wikipedia: As an advanced training aircraft, the Yak-130 is able to replicate the characteristics of several 4+ generation fighters as well as the fifth-generation Sukhoi T-50.
