(Japanese Stealth Fighter Mock-up)

(Chinese Stealth Fighter Mock-up)

(Korean Stealth Fighter Mock-up)

(Russian PAK-FA)
most likely

why Pakistan Air force don't go for stealth fighter, why they are still looking for F-16 (second hand) ?????

F-16s and JF-17s will full fill our 4 generation requirement while FC-20 4++ generation requirement.. its like you cant have an army of just elites, regulars play just as important role.. J-xx is definitely on the table for PAF as a counter to Su-50 stealth fighter. depending on pakistan's economical and political situation in next decade we may consider European fighters.

'even EF-2000 is 2.5+ times better then Su-30MKI'
from where did you get thisman i love this forum

Northrop Switchblade is nothing more then a movie set "Stealth".

the attached PAK-FA picture mentions that its only 1.5 times better then Su-30mki. but dammm.. even EF-2000 is 2.5+ times better then Su-30MKI.. so i suspect T-50 will be a stealthier version of Su-37!

I think this is a good read:

the fact that a 20 year old design of the sukhoi offers such high performance always surprises and impresses me.........

The real fun will begin when SU -35 tech finds way in MLU for MKI.

 

[jaison]

it will because these days iaf goes for the best available

I agree. Though India might fit the Irbis-E radar in it, i rather think they'd go for an AESA.

The nose cone of the Su-30MKI is HUGE! We can put in an even 2000-2500T/R module AESA radar in it. Imagine the capabilities.

Well sir not only the radar but the new engines with higher thrust also would like to add 3d thrust vectoring. You said it correctly with the new AESA it will really be force multiplier.

There will be no 3-d Thrust vectoring, the new engines for the Su-30 series-Al-41F, dont have 3-d TVC, just 2-D. But they do have a significantly higher thrust. They have been made for the new Su-35BM.

These engines may allow for supercruising on the Su-30, but since Su-30 is not actually designed for that, it may put a lot of strain on the airframe. But then again, if the govt does put these engines on, it would really increase the payload ,speed. And supercruise might just be used in cases of real need.

You said it correctly with the new AESA it will really be force multiplier.

Yep. The AESA on the Su-30MKI will be the crowning glory. You really have to understand the size of the nose cone on the MKI and then realise the HUGE HUGE potential that exists when one puts a big AESA in there.
