Not many of you will be aware of the fact that. JF-17 Thunder has now taken over from the F-16s, air defense and superiority duties in certain sectors thus constantly flies armed caps in those areas. Apart from the air superiority role, the JF-17 is now regularly seen armed for other tasks, such as precision strikes with REK guided weapons and armed with AShM for the Maritime strike role. In the latter it can carry a pair of C-802 Missiles compared to the earlier Mirage which could only carry a single Exocet on it's centre line stations.
Furthermore, the JF-17 has been cleared to carry and fire the CM-400AKG Carrier Killer Missiles. Thus in just over a decade, the JF-17 has proved it'self to be a true Multi Mission Aircraft.
Armed With SD-10 & PL-5 Missiles for Air defense and Interception Duties.
REK SOW For Precision Strikes.
Armed with C-802 For Maritime Strike Role.
CM-400AKG The Carrier Killers.
Once only the F-16 could boast this capability, but after Wing Strengthening, the JF-17 is now also capable of carrying a MK-84s Under Each Wing.
