JH-7. China's first domestic combat jet equipped with multi mode look down shoot down pulse doppler radar

Su-34 is strike fighter, and it would deny enemy at BVR arena not within the visual range arena

Su-34 has crappy radar for air to air. An air superiority fighter like F-15 or J-11 or Su-35 or J-20 would eat it alive for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert. That's why Su-34 in Syria always need Su-35 escort.
 
JH-7A combat range is 1,700 km. Tu-22M3 combat range is about 3,000 km. We are talking about combat range, not ferry range. Also, Tu-22M3 lacks in flight refueling which JH-7A has.
with much less payload capacity as compare to Tu-22M3 than yes but remember Fuel storage capacity in Tu-22M3 is much larger than JH-7

Tu-22M3 cannot be built in great numbers like JH-7A. Hundreds of JH-7A have been built. Only about 60 Tu-22M3 were built.

LOL its radar more indented toward strike/ground attack but its radar also have the capability to guide BVR

But air superiority fighter would eat it alive. No sane Russian uses Su-34 as a fighter. Even in Syria Su-34 bombers are always escorted by Su-35 fighters when they take off.

Tu-22M3 is a strategic platform whereas JH-7 is a tactical platform, Can single JH-7 attack carrier battle group of the enemy such as USN carrier battle groups???
 
And then these AWACS will the easy targets for SM-2-3-5 and F/18 or jammed by EA-18 from the carriers

AWACs typically stay out of range of enemy fighters and are escorted by fighters like Chinese navy's J-11BH fighter jets.

Doesn't matter SM series of SAMs has enough range to deter Chinese AWACS at long ranges
 
SAMs aren't accurate at very long ranges. At most 100 to 200 km. Plus they can be jammed by EW planes like Chinese navy's Y-8 EW variant.

And they haven't ECCM measures on their ships carriers to save themselve for jamming?? and EA-18 can easily disturb/distract signals from Chinses AWACS to guide YJ-12
