The Mokopa anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) is another interesting system, though its connection with a fast jet fighter platform such as the JF-17 may not be clear at first. Equipped with a laser-guided seeker and capable of travelling up to 10km, the Mokopa is Denel Dynamics’ equivalent to the AGM-114 Hellfire II. Denel clearly has the competency to extend the range of the missile and pair it with an IIR or even a millimeter wave (mmW) terminal seeker. This could make it a somewhat similar solution to the Brimstone AGM. Such a munition could enable the user to engage ground targets, including moving vehicles, with a very high degree of precision. A single JF-17 hardpoint could also carry two to three of these missiles.

There are no heavy ground attack aircraft akin to the A-10 on the market. That role has essentially been adopted by fighter aircraft such as the F-16. With the right armaments - e.g. laser-guided air-to-ground missiles and rockets, small diameter bombs, etc - the JF-17 can serve as a ground attack platform too. Granted, the K-8 could be used as well, but it does not have the same payload capacity nor physical attributes to let it survive in a high-threat AAW environment. The K-8 may work for counterinsurgency, but not a state-on-state scenario.A ground attack version of K-8 dedicated in COIN or anti tank role like A-10 can use this ATGM instead of putting this on JF-17 which i think is an under utilisation of a fighter aircraft.
