it possibly could, but its a lot smaller and that makes me wonder how it can have a greater power output than the MKI Bars. To light up something like that they'd need some major cooling mechanism - where is the space to do all that?

Actual ranges need to be tempered with the modes they are on, for both types. The EF may well have achieved 185 Km against a 5 Sq Mtr fighter. Thats very creditable, and it may even do more.
that would truly be an achievement.

Regarding the MKI, I would advise against speculation on a fighter that the IAF may actually take to war.
Right, i'll just shut up now.
