this is a pt-06. our current thunder is based on pt-04!
post pics of operational thunder in PAF with SD-10, if u have them.
on a side note i have no doubt that in future newer blocks will carry SD-10, but im worrying about the first 48 or so...
Well. I am sure the first squadron cannot carry the SD-10, but the second and third
might.
and you dont need to worry
because i heard that first 48-50 are replacing a-5.so they are for a2g role mainly
Yes they were replacement for A-5 Fantans.
Yet, JF-17 is a MULTIROLE fighter which carries both Air to ground and Air to Air capabilities.
The Thunders I believe have taken part in attacks on militant hideouts.
even if they had the SD-10A bvr capability(which indeed it has) they would be of no use.as they are for A2G role
Wrong. They are not for Air to Ground. The squadron it replaced was for Air to Ground warfare, but now the Squadron (16 and 26) can engage into Air to Air warfare too.
the a2a role which will replace the f-7pg will have SD-10 bvr capability and will be known as block II
I can assure everyone that the block two and block three (obviously) carry BVRAAM technology due to boasted avionics.
The Mirage and F-7s will be replaced by J-10Bs and JF-17 Block IIs.
Both of which would be specialized for Air to Air war hence serve ADA.
I get the trace you are trying to find and apply. But you have committed some mistakes, I am afraid in your little research.
One more thing we can extract from your post is, the first 48-50 JF-17s would be used for main Air-to-Ground attacks as the avionics don't quite serve BVR. But they still can take part in
non-BVR dogfights.
The other blocks can serve Air-to-Ground quite normally too, but they are given priority for air-to-air with BVR tech.
That is the difference between block I and block II, and it's operational objectives.
Regards.
