That rocket salvo is quite destructive. Interestingly most PLAAF pilots train with unguided rockets on different platforms, which IMO drastically improves their A2G abilities with unguided munitions and piloting skills. PAF pilots too train with low-flying strafing runs .

Interestingly most PLAAF pilots train with unguided rockets on different platforms, which IMO drastically improves their A2G abilities with unguided munitions and piloting skills.

It is mainly for improving their piloting skills with a very low cost.

You can not always launch an expensive missile during a normal training.

Besides, you cannot expect such a heavy fighter will use the unguided rockets for an A2G mission during a war.
