00:00Rafale versus JF-17. Who will win if India and Pakistan go to war? Both countries have nuclear
00:05weapons, but the real fight will start in the sky. After the Balakot airstrike in 2019, India
00:11upgraded its air force. They bought 36 Rafale fighter jets. These jets carry meteor missiles.
00:16They can hit targets over 200 kilometers away. Meteor has become the backbone of India's air
00:21power. Now let's look at Pakistan. It relies on the JF-17 Thunder. This jet was first equipped
00:27with the PL-15E missile. That missile can hit targets up to 140 kilometers. The JF-17's
00:33radar can detect targets up to 150 kilometers. So, on paper, India had the upper hand. But
00:39then, a twist. China gave Pakistan the original PL-15 missile, not the export version. The
00:45real one can reach up to 300 kilometers. Even more than India's meteor missile. But here's
00:50the catch. The JF-17 can't lock onto targets beyond 150 kilometers. So how do you use a
00:55300-kilometer missile? Here comes the game changer. Pakistan's Saab-2000, an airborne radar
01:01plane. It flies with the JF-17, and it can detect enemy jets 450 kilometers away. When it sees
01:07a Rafale, it sends the target location to the JF-17. That means the JF-17 can launch its missile
01:13without turning on its own radar.
