for Tejas mk 1A, the main difference is radar since engine is the same GE 404. therefore the old problem for MK1 remain, i.e, with short in air time, and very low payload, 3.5 tons vs JF 17-III 4.6 tons.
As for radar, JF-17 block 3 with KJL-7A AESA radar, which is very similar to ELM-2052, however, then doing the comparison, ELM 2052 with the 1500 T/R module, KJL-7A using 1000 T/R module for JF-17 block III, but HAL ordered from Israel ELM 2052 with only 500 T/R module, therefore its capability is much less than KJL-7A with 1000 T/R. to say Tejas 1 A is better than JF-17 block 3 has no technical data support. Also PAF has already started making JF-17 block 3, MK1A? who know when it will start and how fast it can make all 83
as for weapons, JF-17 block 3 will be armed with PL12 and PL15, over 100 km and 300 km range respectively, they have been with PLAAF for a long time. Astra new version is only started testing.
