From what I have read that from the frontal aspect the reduction is enough that current Indian fighter firecontrol RADARs cannot get a reliable lock at BVR ranges.
Too vague a statement. Which radars & which fighters? How to confirm such an incident reliably? Then there is the issue of two fighter aircraft closing at relative supersonic speeds without one of them actually crossing the border and creating an incident.
JF-17 is not optimized for low-observability. In its current configuration it does not hide its various antennas & sensors, and obviously needs to carry fuel tanks & missiles. Therefore, I find the above statement hard to believe.
