Feb 27th was a BVR shootout. What about wvr engagement of F-16s and JF-17s against indian migs mirages and sukhois. How will that pan out? Any thoughts?

It wont be pretty if a JF 17 gets in wvr with a skilled Su30 pilot.

In WVR PAF will always have a field day against IAF, because PAF have came out on top with USAF, RAF, TUAF...... Dogfights has been drilled into every paf pilot like others said in pre-bvr era paf had trained extensively for that.

You might be worried about Cobra manoeuvre of MKI, rest assure its good for airshows but in combat it has limitations and experienced jockey will not risk its plane on fancy things..........

I am definitely not worried about Cobra maneuver. Needed more details than that thank.

Than there is nothing special about MKI, the RCS is its biggest weakness.

One can only speculate, there is no correct answer....

I think the story is very much out along with the armaments used so don't know what other confirmation is required.

did they just overhaul the older jet or upgraded it to block 2 standards as well?

Common sense would suggest that the overhaul included the upgrade.

The latest rumor (March 2019) claimed that PL-15 has been cleared for export as PL-15E.
