Can any members here tell me how capable FTC-2000G is at air to air combat with LKF601E, and if it will get the ability to fire later versions of PL-12, and PL-15?

Please do your homework ... the FTC-2000 is a low cost trainer/fighter ... so far there is none with that radar and if it will get the PL-12/15 depends on cost, the will to export these systems and if any country not better purchases then a true fighter.

It already carries SD-10, at least at Zhuhai airshow.

The new radar uses high-efficiency air-cooling systems to support new and upgraded platforms such as the JF-17 and FTC-2000G ‘export fighters’ that do not facilitate water-cooling systems necessary for other AESA radars.




Even with CM-102 it can be a fairly potent platform for SEAD. So why would they use SD-10 on the display if it isn't being integrated?

Simply since it is only a PR stund. That particular aurcraft hasn't flown yet at that time - I was at Zhuhai myself - and also the second one with another radar flew only much later. So in essence noneof the shown weapons were intrgrated nor a radar equipped one flown.

And they can all in theory be integrated if a customer orders the plane?

What kind of fighters can it handle in a2a combat?

I thought the JL-10 was mainly a training aircraft ... not an air to air fighter. If I were to assume, probably only very light aircraft in combat.

It can carry SD-10 BVRAAM, and assuming it is getting an AESA radar could probably take on older 4th gen fighters.

Interesting load out for such a light aircraft ... I'm thinking this is more of a budget export to nations that can't afford the JF-17.

I like FTC-2000G more
