PL-17. AIM-174 is actually developed as a stopgap against it.
Hi,
most of the airforces are using blue missiles strap around jets for
their practice or some war games, I want to know can these missiles
actually been fired behind a enemy force like original missile and
can track their targets with result oriented
thank you

Are the SU-30 & MIG29M compatible for chinese modernization ?
Can the Algerian airforce SU30MKAs aaand MIG29s get a chinese upgrade, SU-30 to be something similar to J-16 spec and MIG-29 to J-10C spec ?
China have extensively worked on the flanker platform and on the MIG29 RD33(93) engines on the JF-17 program.
Upgrade of Engines, Avionics, Radar, armament.
- WS-10 to the SU-30, WS-13/21 to the MIG-29.
- AESA GaN radar (Klj type), modern avionics and DAS suite.
- RCS reduction using RAM material and Radar blockers, plus weight reduction if possible.
- Chinese missile compatiblity especially BVRAAM family of PL missiles.
- Chinese Targeting/EW pods.
I was thinking of joint Algerian/Egyptian funded moderninzation program for the MIG-29s mainly retro fitting components from the J-10C / JF-17 / J-31 and some modification on the body.
If the upgrades were non-viable what are the twin-jet air superiority fighter Algeria's Air force can procure?
If you replace everything and just leave the fuselage there will be little savings. I would say Algeria would be better off waiting for the FC-31 to be available. Right now the only viable option for purchase is the J-10. I think the JF-17 is just too underpowered and would not fit in with the aircraft Algeria typically operates.
Nope. Because the original avionics architecture does not lend itself for easy upgrades.
Aren't the MKI variants open architecture? because it was jointly developed with HAL, and now are doing a major upgrade "Super Sukhoi" by incorporating domestic tech & components including the uttam aesa radar.
They brought Israel and France onboard early on for MKI though.
