Probably the problem was reported, but maybe it is worth reminding about it.
JF-17 turns on the radar and the whole Caucasus knows it. On the example of the RWR system in the F-15C module and others with the FC-3 (I suppose it is similar in other modules):

I compared the following AI machines vs "LIVE" F-15C:

- E-3A AWACS,
- JF-17,
- F-14B,
- F-15C,
- F-16C

All planes at 20,000 feet and heading "head to head". Only AWACS on 30 000 feet. All AI planes over the sea,  F-15C (Me) over land also flying 20,000 feet towards the AI planes.
Below are the distances at which the machines appeared successively on the RWR

JF-17 - 255 nM
E-3A on RWR - 230 nM
F-15C - 115 nM
F-16C - 75 nM
F-14B - 54 nM

These are dummies of AI, so the result of the F-14B is the most surprising.
From experience I assume that a "human" F-14B should glow from at least 70-80 nM.

In any case, this it gives a sense of injustice compared to the JF-17. It should be added that JF from the moment he appears on the RWR is constantly signaled as the greatest threat and is closest to the center of the display. In addition, it is one of the more difficult to "catch" by  radar and, looking at its construction, I dare to say that it is not at all made in stealth technology.
What I present below under the same conditions - the detection distance of the same planes by the F-15C radar, which probably works best for today (the closest to reality - why do I say this despite the "evidence" presented in the forum discussions regarding radar ranges? - I base it on the opinions of pilots flying F-15 and F-16 from 1990-1995 to today)

E-3A on radar - 125 nM
F-14B               - 65 nM
F-15C               - 63 nM
F-16C               - 60 nM
JF-17               - 45 nM
I added MiG-21 bis and MiG-29S
MiG-21Bis      - 42 nM
MiG-29S         - 50 nM


Maybe it's time to do something about it?
To behave like this on RWR, he would have to have a radar from the MiG-31 at least if not the one from the E-3A ...

Compared to the castrated radars in the F-16C, F / A-18C, if it is to be an attempt to balance "East - West" then it is moderately successful ...

 

Sorry for my english
