According to that article it would seem that if a Block 3 JF-17 fires a PL-15 around 100kms(or upto 200kms)of range, not only would the JF be quite safe considering the Russian R-77 isn't effective after 80kms, the Sukhoi would have a harder time out maneuvering the PL-15 as the missile will have plenty of juice left.
It seems that the Sukhois will not be nearly as intimidating after the integration of PL-15s and AESA, is the writer missing out on some things or am I?
The article also talks about missile limitations on the SU, surely an air superiority platform would be able to fire better BVR missiles, why didn't they mention it in the article, does India not have any longer range Russian missiles?
There is a reason why there is a hue and cry in India for rafale, the main reason is the meteor.
