JF-17 will get Aim-120 C5. Where are you getting this from??
My my that was a mistake ,, thanx for pointing out
I was comparing it with Su 30 in terms of upgrades . Yes the size of the plane and its nose does matter when installing radar, its powerful computer and cooling solutions and other paraphanelia.
In case you are talking about France I don't see AESA coming soon nor do I see them delivering the AESA when it is developed, however I am sure that PESA currently serving in Rafale is a good radar and will definitely be on offer, that said I dont see that happening in case India goes for Rfale

There is no POWERFUL computer in the planes. Installing radar proportional to the size of the plane does matter.. every kid knows that. Cooling solutions exist in every other plane. There is no such thing as "other paraphanelia".
That is your wishful thinking and your beliefs. Keep it to yourself unless you can provide credible sources to pre-judge the political maneuvers
500 aim-120 MICA and SD-10 will be shared upon PAF aircraft inventory.
Aim 120 cannot be easily integrated unless LM allows to go ahead.
AMRAAM120c will be equiped on the F-16s, as far as JF-17 is concerned, we have SD-10 and infuture we may also have MICA as negotiations are on their way. Besides if we also incooperate RC-400 we might get the go ahead for integrating the 120c to the JF-17 because in this case there will be no chinese involvement in the issue.But still even if it doesnt,we still have enough punch with SD-10 and MICA on the JF-17.
SU-30 mki
max speed: 2.3
range: 3,000 km
F-22
max spped: 2 / 1.7 at cruise speed.
range: 3,290 km
F-22 is able to exert appropriate maneuvers to pull out of danger or engage in a dominate position..
where as fancy stunts by Su-family will not have much effectiveness in BVR era with 5th gen aircrafts, though good for air shows...
Su-30 mki is from flanker family su-35 so no need for IAF to even consider it for MRCA.
and if you are going to make such statements like F-18 is not in the same league as mki then please elaborate!
MKI is a good option for IAF....as MRCA.
I did not say anything to the contrary. I am not sure about SD 10 I think at best it will be comparable to Russian missiles in terms of performance, however MICA will be a good addition,
Can you clarify , why is Pakistan going for two BVR platforms , when they have MICA whsy should they go for SD 10, or is it that SD 10 will be employed in the first fifty lot that will arrive with Chinese avionics and the rest will have MICA. Please do clarify.
Also I though that RBE2 passive scanned array radar installed in Rafale was offered and I though that that slowly when the Active scanned version is ready , they would be on offer too. Can you also clarify exactly what was on offer from the French in terms of avionics.
Thanx
Yes there are computers, powerful computational architecture allows faster processing of aesa information, Aesa is not the holy grail, it requires powerful computational architecture to process the information.
Good that you know what everybody knows , which means Su will have a bigger radar and more modules .
Yes there are other paraphenilia, sensors suites ect, any decent 4.5 gen plane has a lot of sensors eg rafale has spectra etc.
Thanx , shows you are whishful not me, care to provide proff that Rfales Aesa has is ready and has been tested, in case you cant never mind replying.
PAF current F-16 block 15 are also equipped with Chinese
PL-9 missiles and French R-550. So depending on the mission requirements appropriate missile will be equipped with any front line fighter be it J-10 F-16 or JF-17.
I am pretty sure that if PAF could arm its F-6 with aim-9 back in 70s today it wont have any problem with aim-120 on JF-17 or J-10.
so by 2012 PAF should have at lest 1,400 air-2-air missiles primary and secondary missiles on all multirole fighters..
Primary 500 Aim-120 C5
Primary ~300 MICA
Secondary 300 Aim-9
Secondary ~300 SD-10
