So you did not understand my point. The point is it doesn't matter what type of aircraft it is, the EL/L 8222 will easily jam any mechanical scan radar. This has nothing to do with the Mig-21.
If the Mig-21 could jam the F-15 in air exercises, then the MKI will have no problems dealing with the old obsolete radar of the JF-17 because it has better equipment. And even the 8222 is obsolete.
Our Air Chief Marshal has this to say:

Just because the Mig-21s can jam a F-15's radar doesn't mean it has suddenly become an equivalent in other factors. It is still an 'absolutely obsolete' aircraft. That's just you dabbing in useless strawman arguments.
It's a bureaucratic hurdle for peacetime spares imports. It has nothing to do with the actual technological prowess of the aircraft. Once those spares are manufactured in India, things will go back to normal.
IAF also carries war reserves that will push availability to well over 80% when necessary. But that comes at extra cost that's unnecessary during peacetime.
Yes, we have superior technology compared to the PLAAF. This is taken for granted everywhere. You are just new to it.
As of today we have over 200 ESA equipped fighter aircraft with internal EW suites and have been using advanced networking concepts for over 15 years. PLAAF is just beginning to do that. Once the Rafale starts coming in, the advantage will only increase.
IAF is the only air force in the world today that trains with the widest assortment of weapons and weapons systems. It started due to the import culture, but it is very effective. It is extremely difficult to deal with an air force that has brought in completely different types of aircraft to an exercise, all carrying different weapons. MKIs with the R-73, Jaguars with ASRAAM, LCA with Python-V, Mirage-2000 with MICA-IR, each of these need to be dealt with differently during a fight.
The air force is the only service wing that India has an advantage over China. And we are planning on maintaining that advantage.
Those are obsolete specs. Novices are not expected to know such things without ever having followed the program. If you notice the specs carefully, the peak power in the specs is 5KW, 4.5KW to be exact, which means the website specs are not accurate. But Bars can be upgraded up to 20KW of peak power, like the Irbis-E. There is also a 7KW version.

Posting the specs for the lowest and oldest configuration is obviously what's misleading you.
Are you one of the observers who has tracked the program since its inception? You obviously are not. Hence why you have a poor understanding of Russian radar technologies.
Yes, hide in your bubble instead of learning.
The JH-7s have very low TWR. So you cannot use them without having achieved air superiority first. The Super Hornet is a far better aircraft.
If you are hoping PAF would get their hands on the export version, FBC-1, then it's too late. The aircraft is way too obsolete if you want to buy it now. By the time you buy it, get it in decent numbers and start training on it, IAF would already have inducted 100+ Rafales and would have started induction of the FGFA.
