Hi,

This is all a "HYPE" in a sense---it is more like a drama being staged---and the real issues are swept aside---.

Hi,

This news is confusing the heck out of the readers---.

Readers should understand that this news is about a new target shooting range that has some nice upto date gizmos for training.

It is not about the first launch of the SD10 BVR missile---from a JF17---.

The South African option is also there.

its has a short range and technolocal less advance as compare to SD-10A and AMRAAM C-5 if other advance BVR options like R-77 and upcoming PL-15 open for pakistan then who needs this crap @BHarwana

Hi,

If you can have all the assumptions in your post---then why can I not assume that it is the SD10---because it is supposedly the only BVR missile linked to the JF17 so far.

The BVR test is certainly a great mile stone for ACM Aman

Missile was fired from ground but with air command of JF 17?
Or the ground missile was just a target?

The thing that took of from Ground was just a Target.

if cammand will be sent by air but action from ground it means one air craft can have not only few missiles but unlimited missiles from ground to destroy the enemy. It's a new idea i dont know whether it can be achieved or not.

Rumour has it that its an indigenously developed BVR, 100km+ range and true LOAL and off-boresight capability.

Rumor from whom? No agency reported anything about an indigenous missile, and I doubt PAF has an A2A missile program at this point. It would likely be redundant given what china has and Pakistan has access to in the form of SD-10, PL-10 and the upcoming Pl-15.

I didn't say that JF17 is not BVR capable... But my question is how JF17 got an FOC ( in induction & firing a NVR) before doing the said test??? Did any force induct a capability before testing???

Who said BVR was never tested on a JF-17?

This news source clearly saying that" This is the first time 'a bvr missile is testing in JF17' ...

No it isnt. It is only implying that a BVR missile have been tested and senior members have already clarified that its more about testing a missile in a newly developed testing range and not about the missile.
