I wonder if and when we get the L-15 trainer aircrafts if they will be used for light attack roles other then just the training role ?

Do we know how many we will be getting?

if reports are true, we will get 4 a/c for evaluation purposes before making a firm order

China's Jiao-8 jet finishes first live rocket exercise

Soldiers of the PLA Air Force prepare for the takeoff of a Jiao-8 jet trainer on April 20, 2011.

China's Jiao-8 trainer aircraft successfully fired rocket projectiles on targets on Tuesday for the first time since its deployment in the 1990s. Zhang Lanrui, senior colonel of the PLA Air Force, said the Jiao-8 aircraft has not fully utilized its fire control system and assault capability since its deployment.

The first live fire test of rocket projectile is important for exploiting the performance of the weapon system of Jiao-8, increasing its long-range and air-to-ground striking ability.

Y SHOULD WE USE K 8 AGAINST TALIBANS WHEN WE HAVE BETTER PLATFORMS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE?
A SINGLE F-16 WILL DO A MISSION FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY FOR WHICH 8 K8S MAY BE REQUIRED.
SECONDLY TALIBAN'S HIDE OUTS R NOT EASY TARGETS.THEY R USUALLY WELL DUG IN CAVES N FORTIFIED BUNKERS AGAINST WHICH U NEED PRECISE N ACCURATE BOMBS.20 MM CANNON OR ROCKETS WILL BE SIMILAR TO TRY TO DESTROY A TANK USING A STONE
