Manuverable?Well I'm disappointed, AESA is nodoubt a giant leap, but it wont safe JF-17 from more maneuverable aircraft like MKI, Rafale, Mirage-2000. HMDS/HOBS missile would save it. But PAF is in no mood to integrate it even in 3rd block.
What do you mean. Can any fighter jet flown by a human pilot out manuver an incoming missile? No
Its BVR age and even WVR battles are not that close and manuverability dependent now.
Even in a WVR if you are fired upon by a side winder or a PL5 you cannot outmaunuver man. Flares or Other ECM measures like jamming might save you. Manuvarability is getting less relevant in modern air combant
