JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[Akh1112]

All those munitions can be easily integrated on the J-10. If Jeff is so good for air to ground then why is it incapable of replacing the mirages?

So integrate them if its so easy? With integration of these weapons you will also need to integrate a new TPOD since the J-10's FILAT is a legacy system and probably lacklustre in terms of performance. The JF-17 cant replace the mirage due to the inability of the PAF to procure/develop munitions that will work with the JF-17. A redesigned RA'AD and some form of new LR-SOW, the JF-17 can absolutely be a replacement for the Mirage. It literally makes more sense to redesign munitions than procure a whole new platform...

As some russian general once said.
We don't need better aircrafts to defeat them, we only need better missiles.
For Rafale threat, better radar network and better surface to air
and air to air missiles will do

Yea but that effectively means you need a better aircraft. Situational awareness is arguably the decisive factor in air to air combat now, you dont need the most manoeuvrable aircraft anymore, you want to just pack the best sensors possible alongside the best suite of weapons available

J-10C is rudimentary in its A-G capabilities. All the people saying how far ahead it is in terms of its payload, please post some pictures to prove it.

Thanks for the pics and proving the point that J-10 is subpar in its A-G capabilities and its load outs. It has little to offer over JF-17 or even the Mirages.

Where it might be slightly better/ahead is in its primary role that is A-A but even here that edge will be eroded with Block III.

Now compare J-10 with any of the European deltas, Gripen, Rafale or Eurofighter and see what their A-G loadout looks like and the difference will be obvious.

Hi,

It was not a russian general.

It was me---I am on record of stating that around 5 to 10 years ago on this forum.

Thank you.
