A nice Stand-off land attack option indeed!

Chinese origin CM-400 SOW is a super-sonic SOW with lethal penetration and fire-and-forget capability

Not to forget, Jf-17 can also carry CM-802 Stand-Off Weapon (SOW), land attack derivative of the C-802 (YJ-82) anti-ship missile with a range of 230km

Pakistan indigenous Land Attack Cruise Missile, RAAD, is also sure to be integrated.

China's first ARM breaks cover
By Robert Hewson
11/29/2012

A new air-launched anti-radiation missile (ARM) is being promoted for export by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC). The LD-10 ( Lei Dian = Thunderbolt) is a product of the Luoyang Optoelectro Technology Development Centre (LOEC) - AVIC's primary air weapons specialist - and is closely based on LOEC's SD-10 (PL-12) beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (AAM).

The LD-10 was exhibited in public for the first time at Airshow China 2012, which was held in Zhuhai from 13-18 November. The LD-10 is the first dedicated ARM to be observed in China, and LOEC officials told IHS Jane's the weapon was already in production for an (unnamed) export customer.

AVIC data identify the PAC/AVIC JF-17 Thunder (FC-1) lightweight fighter as a "typical carrier aircraft" for the LD-10. This points directly to the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) as the customer for the missile.

At Airshow China, a senior PAF officer noted that the Brazilian-built Mectron MAR-1 ARM was already integrated and operational with the JF-17 but suggested it was preferable to have "options" when it came to future JF-17 exports.

Chinese LD-10 Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missile (ARM) Unveiled at the Zhuhai Air Show 2012. The LD-10 Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missile seems similar to the SD-10 from the active air-to-air missiles.

4600KG is excellent for a plane that carries an engine with 87 kn. If the engine is upgraded like RD93B or chinese engine jf17 might touch 6000kg indeed excellent payload for standard and original variant, with such options of weaponry and confirmed weapons testing except raad i find it extremelt hafty punch at the dream price of 15-20 million dollars.

Engine Speed is quite less for an fighter aircraft though.

Dont you remember the payload stress test was taken ? where it was confirmed the body can carry 200% for the original declared payload that was 3600kg ... However to maintain the performance as lack of decent engine instead of doubling the payload they had to put till 4600kg
