Forgetting powerful radar's and BVR missiles for a second...
I once read in a pak site that Tejas would fair poorly in a close combat scenario because its delta wings will bleed more energy(drag or slow down) with each turn, while the JF-17 having a conventional wing will not bleed as much energy like Tejas would. Is this assertion true?
What is the ratio of thrust to weight for both the planes?
And their instantaneous turn rate as well as sustained turn rate?
It is often said that, a BVR kill highlights the avionics, while a close combat gun or missile kill highlights the raw performance parameters of plane. So I hope if someone can clarify if the assertions are true or not.
