I wonder if Indians still believe that the JF17 cannot fire BVRs because they personally have not see the IOC or FOC certificate saying it can or not .......

They still believe it needs a thaila for transportation because that is what their plane does

I don't blame them. The lot can't be helped

 

[Dil Pakistan]

I think SEAD will be important given the s400 purchase by the Indians. Can't just rely upon the Blinders

Very likely that SAMS (particularly S400) will be taken care of by the UAVS. Not the job for fighter jets, unless you can fire out of their detection range.

Well how can you argue with these geniuses ......on one hand they are waving a piece of an AMRAAM....and on the other, they call their SU-30, an AMRAAM dodger.

Need a more powerful engine for that. Poor RD-93 can only do so much.

Plus, where do SRAAMs go?

RD93MA and You don't use them if you are a dedicated EW aircraft. Never seen a Growler within anything but HARMS.

Is it? An EW aircraft would still be used to jam/ spoof enemy radars.

4 missiles, wont call it armed to the teeth, double rail and two under belly will make it armed to the teeth, my thoughts.. but thank u for sharing

Its neither the size nor the number of the "thing" count, "how you use it" matters, just ask IAF, we usually remind them of this, Abhi-nondon appreciates that too ......!

6 missiles are better than 4. This is not the same as describing your wanger

donot see the teeth here ?
Even the pylon which’s carry drop tanks can carry sd-10 but it’s not carried as you need range as well with drop tanks

We aren't exactly talking about a heavy weight like F-15 or F/A18
That is the current capacity of the JF-17 specially with two drop tanks employed for mission endurance.

To an extent but the local scenario also matters. When the airspace is fairly compacted in terms of targets on either side then it depends on how many shots until you are merged.

2 SRMs + 4MRMs are a great fit for the subcontinent. The opposing side’s best weapons are limited to an odd 100 French aircraft. The aircraft supposedly the most powerful is really its actual weakness - its seen as far out as a a320. Its current weapons suite doesn’t have good “real life” performance.

SRAAM's stay there, it's basically an enlarged rail with EW/jamming equipment inside, saves internal space and a pod also moves away from the pilot and gives more coverage by being at the two extreme ends of the plane

Need a more powerful engine for that. Poor RD-93 can only do so much.

Shame on you for dragging their symbol of pride through mud, it's a different thing that they are actually made to bite the dust but then news never comes out
