CAS Mujahid Anwar: Whatever capabilities the IAF acquires, PAF will match it

[Pakistani Fighter]

Strike since they stay low profile mostly to avoid getting tracked as well as their trajectory.

India having AWACs 24×7 monitoring will detect our Subsonic Cruise Missile at a fair distance and will alert Air Defenses and the Subsonic CM will be countered as its position will be monitored by AWACS and Air defense will be alerted and wont take time to destroy it once detected on air defense radars

Not that easy buddy, they lack handsome fleet of AWACS, detecting CMs like babur, terrain matters a lot in that scenario especially a mountainous region, where it is almost impossible to detect CMs coming in.

Plus, launch of SOMs are always in numbers, 15+, to get good hit probability

I am talking about Future. They are acquiring more AWACs. S400 and NASAMS II will be in place along with Akash and Spyder. 15+ RA'ADs?? U dont have mountains all around in India especially along borders with Pakistan

Its almost impossible to detect a terrain hugging cruise missile... even if some how detected by an Awacs... Awacs can at best inform local Air Defense commands to take action can not guide a SAM or AAM...
although if a sub sonic cruise missile’s terrain hugging mode is not advances<Above 300+ meters> then any advances air defense unit armed with decent radar and SAM can take a kill shot..

but most of the advances sub-sonic missiles in terrain hugging mode<low-low mode> fly below 300 meter and in last leg zeros in for few meters only...

So once a good enough cruise missile at low low mode is sent it will reach its target 100% ...

You are free to live in make believe world

So typical ... seems to me ... it is the case of ... the pot calling the kettle black.

 

[Aadi_1591]

This statement carries the assumption that JF-17 can match the Rafale in avionics, radar and EW capabilities.

thats bullshit. jf17 does not comes close to the rafale, most -------- have a habit of exaggeration they ignore all the facts just because of jf17 is sino pak made

Mod Edit: Ban word/racial slur removed.

It will be appreciated to avoid use of racial slur as such. Read Forum Rules.

I would request to match IP as well

JF-17 was never designed to match the Rafale or any other Aircraft in terms of Avionics, Radar or EW (1 on 1). The purpose of the JF-17 is to work in tandem with other Assets of PAF to negate the advantages the Rafale has. The biggest advantage the JF-17 has is that it is data-linked to PAF's force multipliers, which propels JF-17's capabilities many folds.

Thats interesting ? How did Pakistan achieve data linking between chinese and American platform ? Is Link 16 a common standard ? A common SDR makes sense , but not able to comprehend how data linking was done.
Can you shed some light or an article to read ?

ZDK-03.

- RAFALE WITHOUT METEOR = JFT B3

Nope, wrong call !!! First of, we don’t know the specs of B3 and specifically EW Capabilities. Rafale is not just a BVR threat, it is a highly potent EW threat as well as WVR threat. One can oversee US, China, Russia, Italian capabilities but French are not ordinary like all of them, they know what they do and they are best at that !!! Never underestimate the French capabilities and SPECTRA EW is not some small boy in a park.

I maybe wrong - but i feel SPECTRA is overrated. I dont believe radar cancelling or spoofing and thereby having virtual stealth can be done by SPECTRA. Its stuff star wars are made off. Even Israelis and Americans are not at that level

ZDK-03.

Thats an AWACS or AWECS right ? What has that got to do with Data Linking ? How does data linking happen between F16 and JF17 ? Or as a matter of fact between F16 and ZDK ?

I don’t doubt French, if they say it, they might be right. They have no reason to fool others, no major adversary or conflict, just business.

However, the problem is that, you give something a real name instead of a code similar to WVZ-9 EW system, call it SPECTRA, and boom !!!

“Oh wow spectra”, “Spectra is the real deal” “bla bla bla”, over exaggeration

 

[Basel]

Didn't the Chinese plan J-20 on the lines of F-22 Raptor and J-31 similar to F-35. Y'all have better chances of acquiring the J-31 instead of J-20 which is also cost effective

There was a single engine J-20 design presented to PAF by CAC but no one knows which design PAF have chosen for project AZM.

French makes good stuff - but what you are really buying with French is autonomy ! Some countries value that a lot. With regards to Spectra - Its really good. The data fusion that it enables Rafale to have is comprehensive and probably best in class (baring F35). But this radar cancelling is humbuugg.

By the way what is WVZ - 9 ?

 

[Zapper]

J-20 falls under the heavy category fighter, the same class as Su-30 series or F-15...it doesn't make sense to power up a heavy fighter with a single engine

Also, PAF's strategy and tactics have been structured around medium and light fighters for which J-31 would a better choice IMO.
