The Truth of 27th Feb Gradually Being Revealed by India - Rafales must fly in with Meteor AAM

[Dil Pakistan]

Once Rafale is fully inducted and operational and IAF can train and develop tactics with it...
...based on how the current Indian gov is...with the whole chest thumping and what not...I have a feeling they might try something like what they did in February.

They tried before when they didn't have Rafale + Meteor. With those added they will feel emboldened...and in their make believe superpower status and to make up for the humiliation...they will probably try to carry out some strikes with SOW using their M2Ks while Rafales armed with meteor provide them cover.

This is TRUE!

But Pakistan (PAF) will then reveal the "secret" it is hiding at the moment...."that" will stop IAF in her tracks.

its an AESA seeker...so YEAH, it CAN have that long of a range.

AESA doesn't means seeker have a range of 70 Km, with such a small diameter radome there is no way that seeker head has a range of 70 whether its AESA or not , you assume by yourself, go read some simple physics bro you don't know what are you talking about

yeah okay man...

trolling and we all know nothing about seeker range of PL-15, and KLJ-7V2 has a difficulty to detect/track targets for its extreme range (full range) and by the way all Fighter jets radars have a difficulties to detect/track their target at extreme range (full range) and you're talking about to guides PL-15 to this extreme range, how stupid you're

What about PL-15 on JF, range 200 LOL

for block-2 no PL-15, only block-3 will have PL-15

I hope they do. Would present an awesome opportunity to humiliate India and their French backers.

For that to happen Pak would have to prepare accordingly to counter Rafale. Rafale with meteor is not to be taken lightly.

This is TRUE!

But Pakistan (PAF) will then reveal the "secret" it is hiding at the moment...."that" will stop IAF in her tracks.

I hope Pak has effective counters for when that scenario happens.

yes, we are talking about near future

 

[Pyara9]

A squadron of J-31 would be a perfect counter. Hopefully it's ready soon..

Bro how can you assume that Chinese AESA will be inferior to local AESA, We have no to minimum experience to R&D for Radar especially AESA, might be this local AESA is in development with help of China or Turkey, China has lots of experience to design land and Naval AESA

As for Long range 150-200 km is enough for fighter jets, extremely long range BVR like Chinese VLRAAM/R-37/KS-172 are useless against maneuverable/agile targets, they are design to knock down non -maneuverable targets like AWACS/TANKERS and other ISR (intelligence/surveillance/reconnaissance) target

I am not assuming, but it’s quite simple. PAF won’t go for an inferior in house solution just to cut costs or get self sufficiency. Definitely the radar development will have backgrounds from China/others

Are you talking about local or Chinese AESA to be inferior

PL-15 is just a false rumors for block-2 by some fanboys with no confirmation by PAF

After a skirmish, PAF does have few JF-17s equipped with PL-15s. Surly JF-17 doesn't have the capability to use PL-15 to its full range but having 100km range for JF-17 along with F-16s with AMRAAM was enough for PAF at that hour of crisis.

Where the Proofs/ confirmation by PAF (official) pictures etc etc, this is only rumors presented by some fanboys

How naive you are. Who is going to provide proof on public forums for you? Everyone knows about Jy-27 at Mianwali but no press release yet from MOD. Behas bar e behas se ijtaanab krain. If you have eyes and internet you can easily find images and articles about 100 pl-15s shipped to Pakistan in between 28 feb and 5 march. ager apka "ka'an chita na hoa to".

Pl-15 equipped Thunders would do the job well too.

The Meteor might have a fancy propulsion and two way datalink system but the seeker on the PL-15 is AESA (making it jam resistant) and being larger will probably have more range. Exact range on both is classified but 150+km is confirmed.

So in a Vs mode Rafaels will have to keep a JF-17 in target or have another Rafael keep it targeted for high probability. Wherease for PAF a Thunder could fire its missile and leave with greater accuracy or have a AWAC (since PAF can customize them
) target the Rafael.

Rafael improves things for InAF but it is not a game changer in AA since the RBE2-AA radar seems to have a similar detection range as the KLJ-7A for 3m2 targets.
