Can some one tell me
Do we use any jamming pods on the JF-17
if not
do we plan to use them in the future??
 
plenty of options from kg-300g to alq 131 jammers, ecm housing on vertical tail also contains jamming equipment so dual jamming options available.
 
taimi bahi buchon per itni skhti nahi kerni chahia. . . . . . bacha khrab ho jata hain
 
Honestly, the LCA is horrible when it comes to airshows. As expected. It is a delta. Huge wing and one engine. Nice for speed but terrible in longer then one turn combat. I think it will be a perfect asset for Indian Airforce.
 
most probably still GE series of engine as the indigenous Kaveri is not ready yet

well he was critical , but i think it would be better to discuss LCA in her thread , not here,
other thing, delta wing have been successful and indians know better about their jet................
 
I meant that at first sight you would think that the delta is horrible when looking at displays but a delta is superb at high altitudes, high speed and wingloading. Looking at displays doesn't give you the clues.

Personally I think if this bird gets 4 BVR and 2 wvr it can do the job just fine. All that writing about 6g allowed or decades old design. If you can put a decent radar and good BVR/WVR then there is not much to worry about. But it will not get exported. I will not have much room to improve and it will not go into dogfights. So, as a point defence it will be a good asset.

The questions is with so many MKI, MRCA and more, whether there is room for a point defence fighter.
