PAF fighters don't carry six missiles...and probably won't carry in future too..
even our f-16s carry 4

hain jeeee.....:what:
f16 can load six sidewinders and six aim-120 as well and combination of missile can be increased by adding multiple missile rails.
take a look.

jf-17 will normally load 4 SD10s and 2 pl-5/aim-9l.but it is believed that jf 17 will also be fitted with Chinese multiple missile rail for SD10,so the maximum numbers of missile on jf17 could reach to total 10 missile and belly fuel tank.but it wont be necessary.combination of 4 sd10 would be perfect for light fighter plane.
 
^^ Thunder's cannot carry Multiple A2A weapons on Multiple ejector racks Like Hornets can they ?

They can, its not a big issue, all they need is a double rack pylon and the necessary changes in the weapons mgt system and integration with avionics. Which i believe would have already been thought of and integrated.

If they can have two bombs on multiple racks, then why not A2A missiles.
 
^ I agree because they can carry ground munitions but i haven't read or heard anything about it as yet.

Well my guess is that as the first 2 Sqds are for ground attack purpose, we may not see much of such things, as in testing phases, we also saw ground munitions, then in the recent exercises, they were shown with ground attack bombs and when the first Pakistan assembled and made JF-17 was shown, it had the AWC made cluster bomb under the pylons, thus it means the first 2 Sqds would be for ground attack role, but the later variants would be for air superiority role, which nabil also told a few posts above that soon we may see the air superiority version.
 
JF-17 made the first jogging with WS-13 engine on March 18

sorry guys,there is only chinese report

Using google translator, the reports translate something like as follows, though translation is not good at all, first few lines do mention of what you said though WS-13 was not mentioned (at lease in the translation):

March 18, 2010, the project developed its own aviation industry, "Taishan" Fierce Dragon Engine Equipped with the first roll success! The successful maiden flight just around the corner! Cheers from the site flows. A young man in your eyes, mouth essays a poem to express his irrepressible emotion: "'Mount' afraid of hard climbing, 'four of' development for a decade. Equipped Xiaolong flight date, flight made across the board be more delighted. "He is in charge of this project, the aircraft engine industry, Deputy Minister Lu Jibin research 3.

1, for the successful exploration of the management innovation model

In 1999, Lu Jibin received master's degree in aviation engine, the engine design to the Shenyang Institute to work. Five years working in Shenyang, he has undertaken a number of independent experimental work and project management design and laid the basis of aircraft engine development technology and accumulated management experience. Due to exceptional performance, in February 2004 was selected to AVIC aircraft engine division issued two attachment, beginning in early 2008 over the work of the China Aviation Development 2. Aviation Industry Group, the two combined, either in the aircraft engine industry research and three deputy ministers in charge of the aircraft two power systems, small and medium-thrust turbojet and turbofan engine thrust of development work.

"Qinling" Flying Leopard engine is fitted with an engine, is the first based entirely on the military standard required to complete production models of large turbofan engines. In Lu Jibin charge of this project began in 2004, coincided with "Qinling" the transition from small batch to mass production. He completed a large number of Jishu, coordinate the handling of quality issues, gradually straighten out the matching Relation and based on the organized and completed the "Qinling" engine Technological Finalization and production of stereotypes. He carefully analyzed by the independent completion of the "2004" Qinling "Technical quality engine assembly" in preparation. He did this to promote the "Qinling Mountains," a large number of production quality and stability. His management ideas and practices, as the "Qinling" from development and eventually become equipment, have made outstanding contributions to the market.
"Tarzan" engine development, is the first group project on their own middle-thrust turbofan engine development project. The project also did not state investment, no existing organizational systems and management. He developed for its own characteristics, with one hand on-site management on the one hand establish a new system; he and his colleagues explored together to "Tarzan" for the development of a management platform, set up the initial model developed by the aviation industry management. Some praise, said: "Lu Jibin is able to predict risk, and resolve risk people." Overall management of the rich sense of his thinking and a wealth of project management knowledge, and create a "Tarzan," a new situation developed.

China launched in 2003 with a self-developed UAV type turbojet and turbofan engines. Because there is no national inputs, not the military project, the company management level, facing the R & D institutions, market development and to mobilize active participation in research and many other issues. Lu Jibin in charge of the project process, carried out a large number of effective management. He forces with industry experts, only in 2009, they organized a technical, quality, management expert study group, four in-depth site investigation; he repeatedly in-depth development of short-board units, on-site technology research organization, coordination of development progress. It is developing two types of engines made good progress in 2008, won the national project. From independent research to the national project, later to become "995" two army with only a UAV power units, all with his contribution in the management are inseparable.

Second, do in advance
Lu Jibin at work, striving to practice "doing" and "life" unification. To a managerial position, he often said, "As a manager should first do two things: take good people, good deeds; do good with the premise that good people with good people on the assumption that their good example."

In the second half of 2004, to promote the "Qinling" engine of production and delivery, he toured the scene for four months in the Western route. He and assembly workers with overtime work, coordinate and solve production problems; he was suffering from gallstones, from 09 onwards increasingly serious, sometimes painful that Yishengduoci advised he was hospitalized. This year, he was head of the engine model developed is a critical period, he was still on business and, after rushing out in all participating research units. His father had been bedridden sick, take care of all the pressure of his father who in the love. Love to joke sometimes complain about the tone of him: "You are busy, even my children you are in overtime, are not afraid of kids grow up hate you."

Lu Jibin encouraged his motto has a "career achievement in overcoming challenges, self-achievement!", He himself and realize self-value, fully integrated into the mother's air force career, for he is an energetic and promising aviation industry outstanding young!

Few days back I had reported from a Chinese forum that the WS-13 has achieved the mile stone of PFRT, Preliminary Flight Rating Test and a reliable Chinese source with somewhat knowledge of Chinese engines, said that hopefully, within a year or so, the final certification would be done for production and the engine would be in service.

And the above report about one month back means, that the WS-13 may have been by now tested by flying a prototype of FC-1.

But it hasn't yet come into the production stage, and we may have to wait for another 1-2 years before we see it finally coming into production.
