Do you realize that both eurofighter and rafale are considered 4.5th generation fighter jet and none have an AESA radar. On the other hand F-15, and F-18 are considered 4th generation fighter jets even though they are equipped with AESA radar.
Here is a list for your review:

And by the way RC-400 isnt the only radar PAF is evaluating. The Chinese companies may very well come up with an AESA radar of their own for the second batch of JF-17s.
