Re: New JF-17/FC-1 thread
the radar is not even AESA radar,but a conventional slotted mechanical radar.
The us is over reacting -again.
I think French radars are good, but I have doubts about the MICA. It's a small missile only 115kg, that's no bigger than a PL-8B. Put radar guidance on it, and its basically a radar guided short range AAMs. Maybe its BVR too, but I don't believe it would go that far on its boost phase. In comparison the AMRAAM is 150kg, the R-77 is 170kg, and the SD-10 is 180kg. The heavier the missile is, the most propellant it has, the longer the boost, the longer the range.
