It is going to be done.. the MLU ensures that.
The JF-17 is using the Chinese SD-10..
rumored to be able to match the R-77 in range..but since its not confirmed till it becomes operational.. lets leave it out of the equation.
As for the MKI's avionics.
the Radar is similar.. the ECM we had a hint of thanks to that probing incident back in 2008..
If you look at the blend of avionics..
the most interesting thing was the Radar and ECM..
The radar used in the MKI was evaluated by the Chinese for their MK2.. and they probably told us
everything!!..
The problem was with the Israeli ECM..
during 2008.. the much publicized probing incident by the IAf was carried out supposedly by MKI's...throughout .. they were tracked..and the second they entered our border.. locked on by F-7's
(using the grifo 7..and then the F-16..using the NON-upgraded APG-66)..(
I dont know how many times I have to repeat this story..down NOBODY ever go through previous discussions.. ).. so either that jammer was not operational..or clearly ELTA's advertisement skills are better than what they are churning out these days..
Till that mystery is solved..
On paper.. as stated before.. the MKI is the best machine..
