J-8F problems collection(MAWS, PL-11, IRCCM missiles)

suspected SE-2

btw you can just type a second line. no need to make multiple posts lol

Se 2 is not the sensor on the j8f.

JF17-MAWS
RKW-2200E
w700d1q75cms

That is se 2, it dont have the black round think, no maws have the black round thinks, look at kfir, first they thought that it was the maws but it is rwr,

Se 2 is probably rkw 2200e

an older version. i know SE-2 looks dissimilar in ocmparison with exhibition photos.

the sheer amount of them tells me theyre not just RWR

Some systems need more sensors vor 360 coverage

Also the sensors ar smale so they need many to cover 360

this makes no sense as the sensors (for example) on the Swiss Hunter F-58 are only 4 and cover the whole 360 degrees with relative precision

2 sensors facing directly front?
seems overkill. 1 would be enough

same on the rear

You have a point but ther is no maws sensor that look like that. It cant be the se 2 because its optical and cant see trough the black material. Only maws option is radar but china dont have a radar based maws

i beleive IR based sensors canoperate through such black domes (which filter other rays which can otherwise obscure or damage the sensor)

I would say no, but i cant prove it, we wouls need a very closs pic of the sensor

agreed.
for now all we have is this…
inference… from an exhibiiton

Did you try to translate the text, maybe ther stand somethink

found the same pic

it is worth noting that the image in the advert doesnt show a J-8F. maybe it predates the F model?

The f is the most moder and the most modern should be have a more a maws then a older one.

whats the design/production date of the F?

also, even the blk 3 JF-17 seems to use the SE-2 or the RKW-2200E MAWS

I think is 2000

yeah thats fair enough to be using the SE-2/RKW2200E

I think we have ingame a wrong rwr

Thats the BM/KJ-8602A RWR that is used in wt, maybe the j8f use a upgradet variant of it. Or a difrent

The kj 8602 IS based ON the sps 1000, and Most Israel rwr use 4 Sensors

i know for certain the RWR on the J8B is not the same as the J8F since the F has more coverage

Yeah,
