Very generalised. Nothing to comment here.

KLJ7A better than SpectraWhich parts of the post you have doubts on?
KLJ7A better than Spectra
I mean KLJ7A better than RBE 2KLJ-7A is a radar, while SPECTRA is an EW suite.
The superiority of a next gen fighter is generally established against older gen jets. But with the Rafale and Block-3, both aircraft will employ AESA radars, integrated EW/ECM, BVR, and AEW&C.
In this case, the Rafael's superiority isn't from being a generation ahead, but in terms of its intrinsic performance parameters. So how much additional range can its radar offer? How much farther can it target and fire the JF-17, etc.
That's the problem at hand, and on top of that, the MBDA Meteor is going to be a headache for the PAF. But if you're thinking of a 1:1 match, you'll need the Typhoon with Meteor or Block-72 with AMRAAM-D. The latter is plausible (along with the F-16V upgrade for the existing fleet).
But in the absence of that, the next option the PAF has is double up on the Block-3s and see if it can leverage Western radars to get the Meteor. So the Block 3 isn't as good as the Rafale, but the PAF can field 2-3X the number, and with their own AESA radars and long range BVR, they'll be real issues for the Rafale (not a cake walk), which may force India to not bother.
You forgot the blk 3 will use pl-15e as the main bvr, and sd-10a as secondary option. So many assumptions in this thread. The RBE-2 AESA is smaller, has less TR elements than the KLJ-7A from what we know so far. The latter is known to have around 1100, while the former is known to have just under 900. SPECTRA is widely overrated in many ways, more so by the Indians who had their love shifted from the fallen MKI to yet to be tested Rafale. No body knows the effectiveness of SPECTRA suite against a high performance AESA radar and under intense EW environment. The so called mighty N011M Bars got owned alright.
Hint, there was a reason why finalizing the specs of blk 3 took three years. As for Sabir Shakir mentioning surprises, PAF has several under its sleeves and some of these are indigenous developed solutions.
I mean KLJ7A better than RBE 2
But about the range of both Radar of scanning and locking? And the no. Of missiles they can guide in one time?KLJ-7A is still being tested and finalized, and it is known to be the bigger, more powerful option for blk 3 compared to LKF-601E air cooled AESA radar. So, the low end option has these specs:
This is the low end version with close to 864 TR modules. The three array version is likely to be selected for blk 3, which covers 300 degree FoV, more than RBE-2 AESA. Not to mention, it can be used as an AEWC solution and guide multiple assets to targets.
As for SPECTRA suite, its effectiveness can be argued in a multi threat dense EW environment, especially against AESA radars, let alone AWACS platforms.
Give it a week max, IA they'll crash it, and we'll know more.I mean KLJ7A better than RBE 2
InshALLAHGive it a week max, IA they'll crash it, and we'll know more.

KLJ-7A is a downscale version of the AESA radar used by J-20, while J-10C is equipped with another downscale version.But about the range of both Radar of scanning and locking? And the no. Of missiles they can guide in one time?
Will the French give their tightly held secrets to the "Natives"?????You forgot the blk 3 will use pl-15e as the main bvr, and sd-10a as secondary option. So many assumptions in this thread.
