I have just seen pictures of Thunder & J10 Together on another thread and they look very smart.
fc20 JF17 & f16 will be the 3 primary fighters of the PAF between 2012-2020. One thing stands out in that the PAF have not thought to mix up the fleet with heavier more expensive twin engined option.
The MMRCA is on the VERGE and in 3 weeks the winner will be annouced either twin engined typhoon or twin engined rafale.
IT means that over the same period 2012-2020 IAF will field 3 twin engined types in SU30MKI MMRCA & MIG29SMT/K and 2 single engined in LCA/MIRAGE2000.
The range, payload,no of jammers, size of aesa radar and flexibility of the twin engined type is a MASSIVE advantage.
For example
MBDA are offering india the TARUS cruise missle as a standoff weapon with Typhoon. 300km range
Rafale is offering the SCALP cruise missle
SU30MKI are being upgraded to carry brahmos on their super sukhoi,s
Have PAF missed a trick in going for ALL single engined options onlly and severly limiting their OPERATIONAL ENVELOPE.
