Well, yes that is true but you are assuming it will be a fair 1v1 fight. There are many variables that go into A2A combat like AWACS, and detectability of L-15B.

At best L-15B IS A LIGHT SUPPORT JET ESPECIALLY FOR STRIKE/CAS ROLE ITS CAN'T BE COUNTRY'S MAIN AIR SUPERIORITY JET

Maybe for developing nations in Africa, and Asia. L-15B with SD-10 and EW jammer could have great potential at destroying enemy fighters who may not be equipped with modern jets.

Only for Africa and not much for Asia, and tell me how many countries in Asia that want to buy L-15B for their main jet

Well, L-15 is an affordable LIFT with secondary combat capabilities(with SD-10) in conflict time so could be an addition to af complementing other fighters whereas usually LIFT would have to sit idle or be venerable.

Most countries in Asia has strong opponents which hinder L-15 use as their main fighter jet but fits African environment where opponent also weak

As I said, what modifications would allow it to take on say a F-16?

You got to back that up with evidence, why is it not possible?

Because it is trainer jet small compare to F-16, not much advance and long range avionics+radar it can carry and have less EW/ECM space as compare to F-16 Block 52 have AN/APG-68 V9 has range of 300 Km and L-15B Radar range is already quoted us

THIS WORKS ONLY THAT OPPONENT JET HAS A SIMILAR CAPABILITIES LIKE L-15 HAVE, EVEN FOR LIGHT FIGHTER JET LIKE JF17 OR GRIPPEN CAN EASILY DESTROY L-15B IN A BVR FIGHT

Can JL-9 carry SD-10?
