Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions.

According to that article it would seem that if a Block 3 JF-17 fires a PL-15 around 100kms(or upto 200kms)of range, not only would the JF be quite safe considering the Russian R-77 isn't effective after 80kms, the Sukhoi would have a harder time out maneuvering the PL-15 as the missile will have plenty of juice left.

It seems that the Sukhois will not be nearly as intimidating after the integration of PL-15s and AESA, is the writer missing out on some things or am I? :D

The article also talks about missile limitations on the SU, surely an air superiority platform would be able to fire better BVR missiles, why didn't they mention it in the article, does India not have any longer range Russian missiles?

There is a reason why there is a hue and cry in India for rafale, the main reason is the meteor.
 
Did you know that missile range depends heavily on the altitude of the launching aircraft (and its target)? A missile launched at sea level may only have one-third the range of a missile launched at 40,000ft, where the thinner air causes less drag and improves rocket thrust.

The PAF has managed some pretty significant accomplishments in recent years. Things one can do when one isn't occupied with moral policing, especially that of the political nature. Other institutions may want to follow PAF's example.
can you give a few examples?

Why are the intakes covered with the red material when the jets are on display?

Is it to prevent people from throwing anything into the intake? Then why do they cover it in their own airbase?
