Do they even know what they are talking about?

HAFR series is a anti runway missile ... H-2,H-4 are stand off weapons.. With a range of 60-80 and 120+KMs.



No mention of CM-400,Takbir and other weapons..

 

[Donatello]

Not sure if the AIM9L have been integrated on JF-17, since the PL5II already offer equal or better capability.

Very impressive loadout....

 

[Kompromat]

I made that infograph.

 

[Inception-06]

I made that infograph.

So that's not a photoshopped, if so thank you for your efforts in this regard ! Its good to see this full loaded Jf-17 !

Not as impressive as this would look. JF-17 Block-2s in digital sea pattern on ASW mission. Both aircraft carry a combination of
C-802K and CM-400AKG missiles for full spectrum attack on enemy sea combatants aimed at stressing shipboard defence systems.

Hmm, one CM400 and one C802....looks unbalanced, if anything for the OCD in me.

@Oscar

When are we seeing the JF-17 Thunder block-II?

 

[Inception-06]

I made that infograph.

By the way what did happen to all the three Jf-17 prototypes are they in service with PAF or still using them for test new equipment ?

under construction - most likely early 2015

at least one or two prototype are in China for various experiments/tests.

 

[zhanghang]

Although this is a relatively low level of the aircraft, but is more than sufficient to deal with LCA.

 

[tarrar]

Arming PAF with modern & advance weapons is very important.

I want to see JF17 in action in on going ops Zarb e Azab.

Hi,

Supposedly they will stay as testing platforms for further development.
