Hmm... Just a small argument. Radar range will mean next to nothing when the other side is sporting an EW Capable aircraft. I am sure JF 17 will have some EW capabilities but so dose MKI. The difference being, JFT being a single engine small medium fighter will have lesser powered EW pods. Where as being a mamoth of the sky MKI is huge and has its disadvantages, but it has its plus points too. Like bigger more powerful engines making a truck load of power driving massive EW pods and built in EWs. More over with the bigger Radar it can use its massive power output to "Burn through" enemy EW.
Though it might not be ground breaking but definitely an edge. Also this 1 vs another is worthless bcoz they are not meant to go head on without their pack. And did we just discount SAM?
Reasonable argument. Single single fighters cannot sport anything beyond self protection jammers. larger twin engine aircraft such as F15, Su30 have a lot of power available for mini - SOJ capability. The noise or barrage jamming is easily overcome these days with diversity and stagger techniques. Also such high power jamming on tactical platform gives away its position and also invite home on jam.
Conflict in the Sub-Continent will continue to have covert posture, but with the introduction of AW&C on both sides, the doctrines are shifting to Stand Off Attack, where both sides will opt to fire from as far away from possible, and fire first where possible.
