Why PAKISTAN's J17 is not a threat to INDIA:TOP 5 FACTS J 17 is out dated fighter Design: J 17 is a based on old Soviet MIG 21 design. The maneuverability of the aircraft is low and is not an efficient dog fighter.It has a Maximum G loading of only 8. Build Material All metallic design due to which it has very high Radar Cross Section (RCS) . It can be easily tracked by any decent radar & targeted. The heavy metal design also hampers the agility of the aircraft Avionics: J17, still features conventional controls (fly-by-wire exists only for pitch control). Limited Fly By Wire capability resulting in suspect flight handling in case of turbulent weather or high G turns. It also heaps additional workload on pilots & can be be vey big disadvantage in a dogfight. Radar: The J 17 is is 3.5 Gen fighter.PAF production aircraft are equipped with the NRIET KLJ-7 radar, which is a scaled down version of the KLJ-10 radar used in the J-10 of Chinese Air Force. It has a range 75 kms in look-up mode and 35 km for look-down mode for 3m2 RCS.The radar is obsolete by today's standards and it would need serious backing by AWACS in order to put up a fight. Most modern fighter have radar range of more than 150 KM Conclusion: “JF-17 Not as advanced as LCA: Nawaz Sharif, Former Prime Minister of Pakistan” Though China has kept development and production of JF-17 on for delivering them to Pakistan and my be to other countries, it prefers J-10 fighters over JF-17 for its own air-force JF-17 would be good for interception and air strikes on insurgency hit areas, but will have very high causality if pitted against India. India has slew of modern fighters, anti aircraft missile systems & awacs
