Dude you really think anyone on this forum is going to tell you Tejas' real RCS as if we have it lying in the folder next to the porn pics. If you have the tools, measure it yourself.
Dude, this is a FORUM, a place for discussion. Anyone puts on a claim is open for others to question and challenge.

Just like IAF cancelled the su57 cooperation after measuring the J-20 and J-31 RCS.
Or IAF just found out that they can't afford Su-57.

It is obvious that IAF did not find the Su57 value for money especially after they measure J-20, J-31 cross-section. There is no shame in rejecting expensive, under-equipped toys especially if there does not seem to be any requirement for it. Anyway, looks like they found a buyer for it so all is good.

It is amazing China is looking to buy Su57 so soon after Balakot airstrikes. Wonder if the super radars and flying frisbees China gave Pakistan is working - were they able to detect anything at all?

How were indians able to mesure the RDC of very secret chinese planes?
All this kind of planes are flying during peace time with a Fresnel lens...

That case where an IAF Su-30 tracked a J-20 in flying over Tibet. That's mustn't be taken too seriously, as J-20 is mostly frontal stealth... it may have been facing another way, or it might not have had RAM coating to give IAF a false idea of its RCS.

What you are saying is entirely possible. I am only presenting a conjecture based on the fact that su57 cooperation deal was cancelled around the same time that the statement was made by the ACM:

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zo...tched-its-stealth-fighter-program-with-russia

And after India cancelled Russia dumped it as well:

And after Balakot who wants to desperately pick it up?

It is $184 million for three aircraft. That puts the price at $61 million per unit.

Pakistan J 17 Thunder is over hauled in China I thought it to be over hauled in Pakistan since it is manufactured in Pakistan. SU-30, MIG-29, Mirage 2000, Jaguar, and Tejas all are over hauled and manufactured and upgraded by HAL and India.

It's assembled in Pakistan and painted in green.

PAF is set to acquire 26 Jf17B aircrafts in near future. It will be equipped with AESA radar & 3-axis FBW system. After its production, PAF will opt for 50 Blk3, totalling 76 AESA equipped Thunders. Overall, PAF will be operating 188 (-2 crashed) Jf17s split into 10 squadrons

Just 188 jf17 !! They have 300+ obsolete planes ( f7pg + mirage Iii and mirage v) . And in 10 years their f16 A/ B will be reaching end of airframe life. A lot of their f16 were already second hand from Jordan so they won't last loner too.

This means Pakistan will have a short fall of 150 fighters from current strength in a decade and half.

LOL...dear, after so many years, you are still stuck in you pathetic 'meditation'
--------------
FC-1/JF-17 is an export project, the info about this project is so rich unlike PLAAF projects..

the academic journal article published by two Deputy Chief Designers ,one of which is the Chief Designer of Flight Control system team.

The flight control system comprises conventional controls with stability augmentation in the yaw and roll axis( hybrid electronic/mechanical system, a digital limited authority duplex FBW as backup ) and a digital FBW system in the pitch axis (digital full authority quadruplex FBW system +analog duplex FBW as backup ).
