I am on mobile and cannot post links and pics much.
But its a known fact that much of Chinese weapons and electronics which will be built for advanced chinese planes will be backwards compatible with JF-17.
Hence the list is set to increase...
On the other hand India is going for Rafale from France and some Russian planes so types of weapons will be different for both.
Point being....simplicity usnt always a bad think..PAF keeping it simple.
MIL-STD-1553 bus on Mig 29UPG will let fulcrums use everything in IAF arsenal. As far as MKI is concerned Super Su will get the same upgrade which already has a very impressive list to begin with. LCA's already can use both Israeli/French and Russian armament. As far as backward compatibility is concerned same applies to MKI/Mig 29UPG vis-a-vis PAKFA (RVV-AE/SD) and M2K vis-a-vis rafale (meteor, storm shadow, Taurus, ). LCA in future will carry (entire Vympel series R77, R27, R60, R73, Derby Python, Mica, Matra magicII, Matra Super 530D, and AM.39 Exocet.
