JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[Dazzler]

Missing J-6.
Served PAF well for over 28 years

Because J-6/ F-6 was made by Shengyang, while these were/ are by CAIC.

Deka is showing multiple bombs racks with lgb but in real so far only dumb bombs are seen at least in public

When you have dedicated aircraft providing top cover why shud u overload bombers with short range missiles??

Air battle these days is like medicine each doctor has his special role. . No need to put dermatologist in operation theaters. Rather that is not the best way to run buissness

Hi,

Thank you for an excellent post---. Posters don't realize and understand that modern air combat is a job of extreme alertness---you have a job and that is what you are going to be doing---and actually that has always been the case---.

A pilot who is making the bombing run is completely fixated at gaining the target---launching his weapon and getting out of Dodge city---. He would be in a totally different frame of mind than the pilot who is flying with his BVR's---.

The top cover would be provided to a certain extent---after that the bomber is on his own till he gets back---.

It is not like a wedding party that everyone is going to the same destination---.

Guess What The Thunder Boys Are Studying in Their Operation Rooms.

Rafale no doubt is a threat

however Block 3 should be ok

get Egypt on the line and have a 6 x JF17 Block III exercises in Egypt for a few months

develop tactics

The real threat is SPECTRA EW ....
Just need to hack it.

it "WAS" a threat..done & dusted in 2017 just as Su-30MKI was done & dusted in 2008. what is interesting and given less importance is Mirage 2000-5 Mk 2 aka Mirage 2000Is (Indra Upgrade) was also Jammed and it EW suite was found wanting last year. we should understand before RBE 2 (Rafale Radar) RDY of Mirage 2000 was the best French could offer..

food for thought!

I am tempted agree with ur assessment but we need to be thankful to almighty for the way things turned out a yr ago on LOC.
The adversary is war mongering, without any mercy and has no apathy to anything that may happen or ground realities.

We need to upgrade our EW capabailities as indians have learned their lessons and will be looking across the globe for them. Our saabs and karakorams nees to be upgraded like now (karakoram is in progress and there is talk of newer saabs) and buy 1 or 2 more falcons.
Compared to current blocks, Block 3 will inshallah be like jf17+. Egyptian mirages are a gud space filler and we need to go beyond 1 sq. What would be interesting is if they come with radars or sans radar as the radars on them are supposedly better than grifos we have on ours.

Well this EW costs more than a jft...

Still using the Mirage 5 and calling it our State of the art machinery....
You can just imagine what rafale is
capable of....

Where did i say that we have State of The Art technology? its actually ridiculously simple. when you have prior knowledge of operations and war time frequencies you tend to go around try finding solutions to crack the problem one at a time....

2ndly can you enlightened me about Y8G/Y9G if possible.

May be we have found solution to Meteor Seeker-head and two-way communication issue with RBE2 already!

I was not talking about you....
No solution to meteor It will be a suicidal mission....

Guys look at this ...Just one proto type of B3 with limited info has been shown to public and the critical analysis is:

Pakistan Could Have Technical Edge on Indian Air Force Despite Rafale Jet Deployment: IAF Veteran

The Pakistan Air Force’s single engine multirole fighter, the JF-17 manufactured by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, is due for a major upgrade, similar to the advanced technologies seen on the J-20 stealth fighter, the Chinese newspaper Global Times reported earlier this year.

It is confirmed by the Chinese outlet that the upgraded JF-17 fighter jet will have “an infrared search and track system and a radar cross section reducing ‘pseudo-stealthy’ airframe”.

The JF-17 fighter jet has been also equipping with PL-15 Beyond Visual Range air-to-air missile that has posed serious concern among the US Air Force due to the long range of its missiles.

Herbert J. Carlisle, the then head of the US Air Force’s combat command, was quoted by Flight Global as saying that outmatching the Chinese PL-15 air-to-air missile in particular is an “exceedingly high priority”.

Honestly, Meteor & Rafale Combination in not Baba Yaga...its half cooked. please 1st confirm me that Rafale while taking BVR shot (100km+) can communicate or update via link or not.

2ndly can KLJ7A or LFK601 can communicate two-way with PL-15 or not?
