by unfavourable theremal signature I presume negative IR signal right?
Sir,Great one sir. Officially confirmed now.
That's our thinking,even US is planning to keep 16's and other 4 gen birds operational till 2040.What ia there to counter for a plan that is to come a decade later. By that time most of our F16s would have been retired.
And J31 would be operational. I dont see any logic for india to spend billions of dollar in procuring F16 line except that india is scrapping TEJAS and HAL initialtive. Instead the Replacement of obsolete 3rd generation Indian fleet of Mig21 jaguar and Mih 27 is going to be F16s now.
F16 induction means a death warrant for tejas or more useless dollars spent on multiple aircraft types.
If the statement is related to Zhuk ME,Kopyo,RDY-2 then may be valid,but taking it for BARS is out of Question,Bars is just a massive system.DSI does contribute to hiding Engine fan blades. By eliminating splitter plates, the RCS is reduced a bit. But then JF-17 has all those antennas and fuel tanks sticking out. I am not sure the RCS of a normal configuration JF-17 is so low than the massive radar of SU-30 would find it difficult to get a lock onto it.
We can at best guess since I think only IAF would know conclusively whether or not JF-17 can defeat / avoid / delay SU-30's radar lock. I am surprised at the confidence with which you made that statement. How can you do that? Do you have any reference, source, link, etc... ?
Yes even if Americans decide to do so it will be for the roles for which we will use our JF17s for the next 25 years.That's our thinking,even US is planning to keep 16's and other 4 gen birds operational till 2040.
Something to do with speed of the target nd aircraft. Drone moves slowly and thus difficult to get a proper lock through gun sights. Wvr missile best option.Sir,
why did not kill by JF-17 GUN ?
Sir,

who you are trying to impress. SU-30 has an operational availability rate of 50%F-16C is very poor in quality and performed very very badly in exercises with our Su-30 MKI.
F-16C carries a highly inferior Doppler radar.
F-16E is a different ball game together as it has AESA radar and will be leagues ahead of JF-17 blk 3.

Seems the Block-2 have been given a darker two tone grey compared to the earlier pale grey scheme.
Why can't you when even fixed ground targets can be straffed.Something to do with speed of the target nd aircraft. Drone moves slowly and thus difficult to get a proper lock through gun sights. Wvr missile best option.
There is a difference in attacking ground targets and slow moving aerial targets. Guns in air to air mode have less range, so the aircraft has very less time to aim at a slow moving drone for which it will have to reduce speed and can endanger itself by going into a stall, for ground targets u align ur aircraft from long distance and with ample time aim and shoot without needing to reduce speed. So here comes wvr missiles with considerable range compared to guns, slow moving target gets locked on from miles and without considerably reducing speed u can take a shot. This was done with the indian drone by paf f16 and now same here.Why can't you when even fixed ground targets can be straffed.
could it be that the PL-5 kill-chain is more complex and needed proofing?
Kuon krty ho aisi baten...PN doesnt operates any fighter jets broSir for your kind info that naval arm already flying blk 2 thunder... 1 full squadron
all mirages are with PAF..After Completing the century by the end of block 2. PAC would manufacture Naval version of JF-17 for Pakistan Navy to replace ageing Mirage 5.
Currently PN has 25 to 27 Mirage 5.
Which they would replace with jf-17 by 2020.
