i have no doubt that LCA would be a brilliant platform. but it has to come in service, and it has to be upgraded, the best part i like about these new JF-17 and LCA is that they use Standard Power PC components like other 4 th generation AC, i hope LCA has it too. so it will all come down to who has more brains, In algorithm Programming, i think Sri might agree with me this Algorithm programing is more then just software development its a brain buster, takes time and Money to have sophisticated more cheaper less time and Resource consumeing ones. so Lets hope they do become capable enough. BUT EF 2000 is at a very advance stage. it's Protection EW suite Second to None its radar range amazing large, its exhaustive testing has provided insight to the Problem that have to be rectified.
