vs what?
vs any indian aircraft it can manage itself. other than a fifth gen aircrfts
whats its better from in most aspects? all indian aircrfts (mig21.mig27,jaugers,old mirage200s,mig29,LCAmk1) at moment other than the su 30mki
and its highly unjustified to say that su30 can carry 4 times armament or BVR missles because
it can carry 10 on multiple racks that is most maximum (against minimum of 4, we dont know max limit of thunder)
its radar can engage 4 and track 15 targets vs 2 and 8 of thunder
its ordinance is 8 tones vs 4 tones of thunder..
so maximum figure should be twice that of thunder mr mastan khan
but if you ask me the real thing that matters will be quality of sd-10 vs r-77
chinese claims that sd-10 is far better but so do the russians!
more over, keeping in mind the price and easy maintenance, PAF can easily place two or more JF17 against Su30!
remember, the strikes or offence is to be made in sections, it wont be a case where 100% IAF strength will be against 100% PAF strength. attackes are made in packages and sections!
JF17 is relatively inexpensive, and easy to maintain thus will have more sorties
