Pak upgraded JF-17 no match for Indian S-400 and Rafale air strike power
50 JF-17 Block III fighter jets purchased by Islamabad after Prime Minister Imran Khan returned from China are preparing to take on India’s S-400 air defense system due to their stealth characteristics. This is nothing more than domestic chauvinism in parts of Pakistan, completely untrue.
The airframe of the Block III single-engine JF 17 fighter jet is said to be made of composite materials to give it the stealth it needs to evade adversary air defenses and target high-value assets. Even the homegrown Tejas is 45% composite, but does that mean it can carry two S-400 systems deployed by the PLA in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh? The JF-17 is powered by the same Russian RD 33 engine used by Indian MiG-29 anti-aircraft fighter jets, and stalls frequently.
The S-400 system is not just about shooting enemy aircraft from the air. This is to allow cross-border visibility to depths of nearly 300 kilometers in enemy plain territory. This means that the Pakistan Air Force cannot fly its airborne early warning systems and deep-penetrating radars, as the S-400 missiles will shoot them down in the event of hostilities. Therefore, Pakistani JF-17 fighter jets will fight without the support of early warning aircraft and outdated Chinese radars. The only exception to this is the alpine terrain, which exists only in the combined territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
The Indian Air Force has a multi-layered defense network that does not rely solely on the S-400 system. It has front-line fighters like the Rafale, which have top-of-the-line AESA radars and are armed with line-of-sight air-to-air missiles beyond the 140-160 km range of the deadliest Meteor. This means that JF-17 doesn’t even know when it disappears from the sky. The Indian Air Force has Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missiles (MRSAM), digital Pechora and Akash surface-to-air missiles with a range of 160 kilometers to deal with the enemy. In addition, the S-400 system is always complemented by a Close Combat Weapon System (CIWS), such as the Russian Armor or the American Phalanx, to counter independent missiles fired at the air defense network. Finally, the S-400 is not a static system, but a dynamic weapon system that can shoot and slide.
However, the point is that the Pakistan Air Force itself is not very confident in the JF-17 fighter compared to the American F-16. On February 27, 2019, a day after the Indian Air Force terminated the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists, the Pakistani raid in the Rajouri-Mendhar area was unsuccessful and not a single JF-17 crossed the Line of Control (LoC), not even a single JF-17. Fired weapons at Balakot training camp in retaliation for the Pulwama terrorist attack.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck
As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”

Jennifer told Interview Magazine, “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like.’ And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be.’”
