Lets wait till its inducted and fully matured, why waste time on concepts
JF-17 is operational and getting inducted while block three is being designed it par with block 52
wasn't iaf ordered 40? Which later to be increased at 294
.
Business Standard
.
the only thing in jf17 block 3 is aesa . Avinash chandar said that , aesa to gonna fitted on lca mk1. So equal radar, but better missiles for tejas and lesser rcs. So jf17 still inferior to tejas
.
here is reference :-
Indian Defence News - asking whether the
indigenously developed AESA radar
could also be integrated with the
indigenous light combat aircraft
Tejas , Saraswat said, " The work is
already on and the Tejas Mark-2
will have nothing but the AESA
radar. In fact recently when I was in
our lab LRDE, they showed me 1/8
size of RA which is already
operational in the same frequency
band delivering certain amount of
power with the TR (Transmitter &
Receiver) modules. The work on the
development of AESA for LCA is
on."
The DRDO developed AESA radar
will be of same size and volume of
the present radar integrated on
Tejas Mark-1. Once the work starts
for the Mark-2 of Tejas aircraft
