JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 6]

[Donatello]

What about electronic of Block 52 (outside of ECM as you said its inferior in JFT)?

Yes, that'd be the D version of BLK52. It is superior to JF-17 and will remain for a good time.

That is no 17, probably J-8, and a photosop at that.

 

[Viper0011.]

Just an odd question. Have you served in the US military, if not what's your profession?

I am retired and want to spend the rest of my life serving humanity, peace and stability for everyone.

Looks like a FBC-1/JH-7 with DSI, its a strike aircraft in the league of Tornado. In the pre-JF-17 days, the JH-7 was pitched to Pakistan and Iran when it came out but low production rates meant external orders couldnt have been met.

Oscar, ----
But is inferior in payload and combat radius along with vertical maneuverability.


So its long way ahead.
& when we are inducting Aesa Radars in JF-17 ?

The JFT's electronic defence suite is somewhat comparable to certain modes against Air based threads with the ALQ-131-block-III.
Other than that, AIDEWS is a thoroughly superior system.

Not unitl 2017 or 2018 depending on when the block-III is finalised.

Any chance of internal SPJ?

PL-10 (courtesy of hxqy, ZNHBB)
A dummy PL-10 AAM was fully extended outside the side weapon bay onboard the J-20 #2002 prototype. PL-10 (K/AKK-10?) is the new generation IIR-guided missile in the same class of AIM-9X, ASRAAM, A-Darter, AAM-5 and IRIS-T. It features an IIR seeker (containing a 128x128 focal plane array?) and TVC, giving the missile a 90° off-boresight angle and 50g max load plus an excellent IRCCM capability against aerial target maneuvering at high-gs. It also has a "lock-after-launch" capability, which could extend its range to BVR. Similar to AAM-5 and IRIS-T, the latest design (circa 2013) features 4 enlarged tailfins plus 4 narrow stabilizing strips attached to the mid-section of the missile body, which help maintain missile's manoeuvrability at the terminal stage after the solid motor stops working. The development of PL-10 started in 2005 and a test round was launched from the ground in November 2008. The development was thought to have entered a new phase in 2010 after being test fired from a CFTE J-11B. PL-10 is expected to be carried by J-10B/C, J-11D and J-16 fighter bomber as well as internally by J-20 and J-21 stealth fighters which are still under development. - Last Updated 8/23/14

Ah, yeh image dekh ky thand par gai .


@Hyperion l our baby has grown teeth

Is this Block 1 or 2

 

[Zarvan]

No. It will be comparable to the F-16 MLU in terms of Air to Air Avionics and certain ECM capabilities. But is inferior in payload and combat radius along with vertical manoeuvrability.

You mean inferior to those F-16 which we got in 80s

 

[SQ8]

Inferior to their current upgraded state.

Inferior to their current upgraded state.

Okay than good if we are able to have AESA radar that can be a big boost

JF-17 is our 2nd line of defence its not required to be supprior to F-16.. But it has to be supprior from Mirage and F-7...
what we need is new Jet may be J-10B if india gets hands on Raffel because PAF is stuck in gen 4 and 4.25 we really need gen 4.75 figter..

AESA with small combat radius and pay load will be a bad option because we already using AWACS

The flexibility afforded by AESA is matchless. Nobody can call it a bad option.
