This image is my favorite coming out of Dubai so far. Quiet a striking bird we've got.

I hope the potential sales announcement @nabil_05 mentioned goes through. If the JF17's second customer's Egypt, our negotiations probably factor in the question of what things and technology we want to share and what we can't. The new American backed&installed regime can't be trusted not to show the Israelis everything inside out, I hope we don't end up using the same radar and critical components that Pakistan&China provide for export. India would simply love for Israel to get an inside-out tour.

Hatz off to all photographers but I seriously think the best lot of pics still remains to be revealed :)

this is not possible, any Mid-range BRV can hardly reach classic maximum engagement range of 50KM, those 120KM ranges for BVR is the missile's maximum engine flight range (normally around 35km-70km) + gliding flight range (normally form 50km to 200km) which means nothing in real combat situation.

besides the RCS size of JF-17 it is highly doubt that MKI can detect it at 120KM let alone tracking and a solid lock, so SD-10A with maximum engagement range of 49KM (same as AIM-120C) is more than enough to face the threat of IAF. furthermore Russia missile has very bad reputation of its bad accuracy even though the warhead is very powerful`
Okay nice explanation Sir!
I was reading the article on the AIM120A/B/C BVR's cuz they gave range for A/B as 50-70km and AIM120C as >105km.... that made me confusing. cuz 105km is greater than our SD10A..but if SD10A engagement range is almost same as AIM120C i.e. 50km then thats enough. Yea! ure true that Russians bvr's precision is not accurate so it can balance the position in our favor . Its higly likely for JF17'ns to go undetected even by SUK30MKI's cuz 1m2 RCS is pretty small from 70++km ranges..Yes! In case of F-15(C/SG/E), F-35 and F-22 their radars can detect 1m2(RCS for JF17) RCS from 120++km ranges.So the showdown of JF17 will be interesting with them. But I guess JF17blockII will be comparable to them(provided powerful AESA radar)......:)
