Are you joking? What confirmation do you need regarding AESA on J-10C? Do you want to smell it, touch it, taste it? Why such obsession?The radar in the first picture (in the aircraft) does NOT look like the one in the 2nd picture. As I said its not likely, infact you're the first and only one to suggest it.
Tht first pic is the J10B, the second one is claimed to be the radar for J10C. your initial question implied that you didn't know if the J10 had AESA radar at all. Well now you should know that it does. I want getting into technicalities of comparing different J10 AESA radars.The radar in the first picture (in the aircraft) does NOT look like the one in the 2nd picture. As I said its not likely, infact you're the first and only one to suggest it.
Please can you make out what is the range being stated for the radar in this image and let us kindly know?Yeah JF-17's is rated for 170km on fighter sized target which is exceptionally good for something of that size and power rating.

PAF tested this radar also. But, decided in favor of the KLJ-7A for JF-17 Block-3. So it is possible that KLJ-7A may have a range of at least 200km.Greater than or equal to 200KM for typical fighter sized target (I guess 3-5M^2). This is for air cooled radar too.

It is, perhaps, not a case of being happy to reveal.If they are happy to reveal 200km, that is either typical understating OR intentional overstating to make IAF less sure about how capable Block 3 is. Choices depend on how PAF wants to strategize with the open information data.
Once the system arrives in Pakistan, don't expect too many pics of it. Pakistanis plan on keeping it tightly under wraps.
Or who knows. The LKF radar may be sitting in the J-10CP?It is, perhaps, not a case of being happy to reveal.
But, of logical conclusion. At the time when the Lihua LKF601 was rejected a second time, its range was not revealed to have increased to 200km from a previously announced range of 170km.
We were all quite surprised that how come it (LKF601) was being considered once again after being overlooked before.
Obviously, they came back with improved specs. But unfortunately for them, KLJ-7A was also upgraded in specs as well it seems.
I am not sure if we can take these specs on face value & extrapolate them to JF-17's radar to claim that its range is 200 km for a fighter sized target. I would be happy to know if that is true, but I think some healthy skepticism is warranted at this point.

Specs of a 1200+ TRM count for the J-10C radar has been around since 2018.Or who knows. The LKF radar may be sitting in the J-10CP?
