Indo-Russian jointly developed SFDR Tech has been tested already and DRDO says it will test the Astra MK3 in 2022-23 with SFDR which will have a range of 350-400 km at least thanks to the SFDR tech. Astra MK2 will be tested in a few months and is having a range of 160 KM.Dude your so called uttam is not even operational yet and no one knows the capability of the radar because it is your first AESA radar while Chinese have spent alot of money and time in developing AESA radars if uttam is better than KLJ7A then why are you people not integrating it with your Tejas su 30 and mig 29 fleet? Instead even tejas MK1 A will use foreign AESA radar so kindly don't share Indian videos here .... PL 15 outranges anything IAF has R77-1 at 100km and Astra at 100km only meteor has similar range to PL 15 which is the same or better than AIM 120D ... so technically only 36 Rafael aircraft can have a firing solution against block 3s with PL 15s mirages su 30s and mig 29s and tejas will be duds like 27th feb ........ also indigenous AESA radar and long range BVR is also in development once they are integrated on block 1 and block 2 thunders then you will have a bigger problem on your hands ..... good luck dealing with PAF with 36 Rafael the French were struggling in putting AESA radar on Rafael let's see how it performs when the time comes ...
Plus none of your Thunders are equipped with those missiles and your Block-III is still under development and currently is far from production.
and having a good missile is not everything, KLJ-7A offers a maximum range of 170 km against a target with a radar cross-section (RCS) of 5m2. Whereas the RCS of Tejas is just 0.1m2 so how is your 250+ KM range missile effective against our Tejas when you can’t detect the Tejas aircraft from that distance, thats why this PL-15 is for large targets. By the same logic IAF also uses K-100 Air to air missile with 400+ KM range intended to target large aircrafts.
Tejas’s EL/M-2052 Elta HAL radar is a GaN-based radar with 1500 TRMs. It can track 64 targets simultaneously. It has a range of 290 km in the Air to Sea Mode while in the Air to Air Mode, it is rumored to be between 150 to 200 km for a 1 sq.m RCS, not 3 sq.m.
Israelis have mastered the art of making Radars and now we are also making similar but better next gen Radars for AMCA.

Once that and the AESA radar upgrades are complete, IAF is going to have to deal with hundreds of JF-17s equipped with PL-15s compared to their few dozen Rafales
PAF has spent decades investing in C4I technologies such as Datalinks and AWACs and regularly conducts exercises using force multiplier assets. A PAF JF-17 is more likely to be backed today with KLJ-2000 AWACS, EIREYE AWACS, link 17 between air/ground assets, and jamming pods compared to any jet in IAF arsenal. The whole Indian airforce only has 3 awacs . PAF has heavily invest with Turkey in jamming pods, once AESAs are integrated on the thunders PAF will have 200 JF-17s thunders capable of advanced jamming since AESA can be programmed to jam better than many jamming pods today, not to mention the advanced jamming pods carried by the F-16 and the dedicated jamming aircraft...The tactics displayed last feb was decades in practice.
