Hie,

Su-30mki is IAF's prime air superiority fighter and F-16 is PAF's.I feel rather than comparing jf-17 with MKI , comparing jf-17 with Mig-29 would make more sense !

* I have tried to keep the comparison as neutral as possible . Please correct me if I am wrong with any specifications !

*Please..don't troll and moreover don't reply to trolls..its a request !!

JF-17 Thunder

158ec63ae534b5ec280a8f0560bfd452.jpg


Unit cost: US$ 15 million (estimated)★

Max takeoff weight: 12,700 kg

Powerplant: 1× Klimov RD-93 turbofan

Maximum Speed : Mach 1.8

Radar: Italian Grifo S-7 ?

Range: 3,000 km ★

Thrust/weight: 0.99

Rate of climb: 175 m/s ?

Service ceiling: 16,700 m

G-limit: +8.5 g





FEATURES

+Ra'ad ALCM is planned to be integrated with and launched from JF-17.★

+The EW suite is also linked to a missile approach warning (MAW) system to help it defend against radar-guided missiles.

+NRIET KLJ-7 radar's multiple modes allow surveillance and simultaneous engagement of multiple air, ground and sea targets, of which a total of 40 can be managed. Using the track-while-scan (TWS) mode, the radar can track up to 10 targets at beyond visual range (BVR) and engage 2 of them simultaneously with radar homing air-to-air missiles. The operation range for targets with a radar cross-section (RCS) of 5 m2 is stated to be ≥105 km in look-up mode and ≥85 km in look-down mode.

Short range

AIM-9L/M -1–18 km
PL-5E - 0.5-16~18km
PL-9C -22km

BVR capability

PL-12 / SD-10 - 100 km

IAF MiG-29 Baaz (Hawk)

The upgraded Indian version is known as Baaz (Hindi for Hawk) and forms a crucial component of the second-line offensive aircraft-fleet of the IAF after the Sukhoi Su-30MKI.Since its induction, IAF has invested nearly 2 billion on upgrading it.

^^upgraded MIG-29 SMT cockpit

FEATURES

+ Zhuk-M features improved signal processing and has a detection range of up to 120 km vs a 5 m2 RCS target for the export variant, and up to 10 targets tracked and up to 4 engaged at once in air to air mode .In air to surface mode the radar can detect a tank from up to 25 km away and a bridge from 120 km away, a naval destroyer could be detected up to 300 km away and up to two surface targets can be tracked at once. The "antenna" is an electronically scanned slotted planar array.

Short range

R-60 - 8 km
R-73E - 20km
R-73M - 30km

BVR capability

R-27R/T -200 meters to 80 km

Is there any chance this aircrafts can have a fight face to face??I mean MIG 29 and Jf 17 are for defending the Air territories right??We will probably send our SU-30 or MCRA to attack their territory and they will send their F-16's to attack ours.correct me if i am wrong

Hello

With all due respect IMO comparing Mig-29k and JF-17 doesnt make any sense ( on paper). I put forth my analysis:

Thrust To Weight ( For sustained turn rates) - Mig29k has 20% more of this attribute as compared to JF-17

Climb Rate - Mikoyan Gurevich 29 ( Fulcrum) has a about twice the climb rate of jf-17.

Supermanouverability - Mig has it while jf doesnt.

In no terms is Jf-17 a match for Mig-29. A better comparison maybe against F-16 but from what I know the Mig-29 was designed specifically to counter F-16.

Given the same pilot is flying both the machines the Mig will win 99 percent of the times.
 
.
Better comparison will be MiG-29 SMT & F-16 Block 52.....

BTW why are u comparing such a mature platform with a new platform....

You think I have posted those without reading em ?? :lol:

These forums are for discussing opinions of both sides and to know if there is something we missed !

I didnt think anything about what you would have done before or after starting the thread. I just provided my point of view without any prejudice :whistle:. Sorry if you felt that I was having a notion of some kind. I am not very good at english or maybe its just the silent medium.

Hay fellows, whats that is making you compare them with each other? Mig-29 will be superior until second block of JF-17 is out.. and even after that they will be only comparable, Mig-29 still taking the lead because of carrying dual engine and maneuverability gains. You know Indian Mig-29 will prove better even then you want to compare? May be you need something to be happy about otherwise at this stage of JF-17 development, comparison makes low, if not no sense.

IAF's prime air superiority fighter = Su-30mki

PAF's prime air superiority fighter = F-16 Block 52

Comparing both of them would make more sense ! :)

I we needed to be happy we should have compare JF-17 with Su-30 :cheesy:

Hey Beckham

Can you post the statistic of Su-30 mki , J-11 B and F-16 52 , F-15 E on this thread so we can have a comparison.

Regards

acha!!!

then why are u comparing a mature proven platform with a new platform....

we all know MiG-29 will kick JF any time

Mods close the thread...

There are even dedicated threads to compare JF-17 with MKI.

http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-aviation/5354-su-30mki-jf-17-air-fight-7.html

I feel this comparison is more fair !

JF-17 has been inducted by the Pakistan Air Force even though undergoing further development. So I feel its worth comparing... :)
