As it should remain. There is no reason for the PAF to disclose which radar will be fitted to the block 3.As a matter of point, PAF has not stated which of the 3 variants of the KL7A they decided to go for in the end and it will be a matter of debate for years as we go around in circles on this matter. It is all speculation until the ACM confirms it, that is pretty much the history of all procurements within the PAF.
Yes. There were some heating issues apparently with the air-cooled version. One of the reasons the testing period extended.
150-200 KM but you're forgetting NEZAnd what's the range for pl-15?
150 to 200 km some site said 150 km and some says 200 km but you're forgetting NEZAnd what's the range for pl-15?
I am not forgetting anything, you can talk about all the perimeters you want.150-200 KM but you're forgetting NEZ
150 to 200 km some site said 150 km and some says 200 km but you're forgetting NEZ
Yep, and i'll be there again taking photos of the JF-17B this time around.Block-3 Unveiled, UAV Unveiled, Target Drone unveiled. Indigenous AESA Radar remains hidden from public
From the Poster of PAC @Trailer23
But this not the range for INTERCEPTING fighter jets but might be big RCS targets like AWACS/ and other ISR (INTELLIGENCE/SURVEILLANCE/ SPY) AIRCRAFTI am not forgetting anything, you can talk about all the perimeters you want.
Just make sure you quote figures from both sides before you do.
Where do you get 240 km range sir most websites quoted it has a range of 150 to 200 km???No word on the NEZ.
240km is the D-MAX. Still a game changer in the region.
That 150km is for fighter sized aircraft as they can manoeuvre easily to bleed energy of the missiles 250km is for tankers Aew&c transport aircraft..... it is safe to assume that PL 15 is better or equal to Aim 120D in terms of range because it pushed the Americans to go for Aim 260 or they could have simply upgraded the Aim 120D....... also newer versions of KLJ7A were developed like the one with 3 arrays and the new engine RD 93MA will give more power so the radar range could be more than 170km but not revealed officially .........But this not the range for INTERCEPTING fighter jets but might be big RCS targets like AWACS/ and other ISR (INTELLIGENCE/SURVEILLANCE/ SPY) AIRCRAFT
FIGHTER jets has small relatively small RCS
And do remember bro AKLJ-7A has a range of 170 km against 5 meter square targets which good for detecting MKI and mig 29 they have RCS of 15 meter square and 5 meter square respectively but for IAF MIRAGES and RAFALE block 3 need to come closer to the RAFALE and IAF MIRAGES hence it will enter a NEZ of METEOR of RAFALE and probably Derby ER fitted on IAF MIRAGE-2000H

150 km is not feasible BVRs are not fired at their Max range because they have more chance to miss or lose the targets at Max range because of no NEZ (no escape zone) brotherThat 150km is for fighter sized aircraft as they can manoeuvre easily to bleed energy of the missiles 250km is for tankers Aew&c transport aircraft..... it is safe to assume that PL 15 is better or equal to Aim 120D in terms of range because it pushed the Americans to go for Aim 260 or they could have simply upgraded the Aim 120D....... also newer versions of KLJ7A were developed like the one with 3 arrays and the new engine RD 93MA will give more power so the radar range could be more than 170km but not revealed officially .........
And rest are all speculations and how rd 93ma increase range of klj 7a can you explain it???That 150km is for fighter sized aircraft as they can manoeuvre easily to bleed energy of the missiles 250km is for tankers Aew&c transport aircraft..... it is safe to assume that PL 15 is better or equal to Aim 120D in terms of range because it pushed the Americans to go for Aim 260 or they could have simply upgraded the Aim 120D....... also newer versions of KLJ7A were developed like the one with 3 arrays and the new engine RD 93MA will give more power so the radar range could be more than 170km but not revealed officially .........
Superior to Rafale hype is just for media and awam......The JF-17 Block III is probably more advanced in the JF-17 family. But honestly, this comparison with Rafale is quite the jokes. Rafale is another class of its own, it is called an omnirole fighter for a reason.
Not to forget 5th gen SRAAMs PL-10EThat 150km is for fighter sized aircraft as they can manoeuvre easily to bleed energy of the missiles 250km is for tankers Aew&c transport aircraft..... it is safe to assume that PL 15 is better or equal to Aim 120D in terms of range because it pushed the Americans to go for Aim 260 or they could have simply upgraded the Aim 120D....... also newer versions of KLJ7A were developed like the one with 3 arrays and the new engine RD 93MA will give more power so the radar range could be more than 170km but not revealed officially .........
