East Pendulum reported citing NRIET deputy director Wang Hongzhe that the KLJ-7A has a range of 170 km against aerial target with 3m² RCS (radar cross-section) or 200 km against aerial target with 5m² RCS. It can track 15 targets and engage four simultaneously. Though equipped with 1,000 TRMs, it is not known if the KLJ-7A’s TRMs are built from gallium arsenide (GaA) or gallium nitride (GaN).
JF-17s will detect MKIs at about 220-250 km range!
In a dense EW environment it will be less, may be between 100-150kms but still good enough.
Think about this ,
9:40 am , 4 su30 accompanying 5 jaguars take off 300 km from Lahore ( picked up by AWACS)
9:50 4 JF17 blk 3 fly off from peshawer armed with long range bvr
Now think about when the bvr would fly
Sargodha may deploy jets first instead of Peshawar base.
These numbers are not even close to what the "obsolete" APG-80 has achieved. And tracking 15 targets is not even close to being impressive.
If you want to be a contemporary, then 250Km for a 3m2 target and tracking 32 targets is the minimum.
Nope. It lacks countermeasures entirely. They are yet to introduce it on their radars alone.
The lack of countermeasures on both the F-22 and F-35 is now being seen as a major liability.
Against Indian air force they are more then enough, because IAF will not be deploying F-22 class fighter and even if they buy F-35, then it will be downgraded export version, not top class US version.
