F-7s can carry verity of weapons, but PAF must add decent AAM (like ASRAAM, AIM-9X-2, IRIS-T or latest versions of R-73 or R-74) last missile may also provide longer range engagements, to their arsenal as AIM-9L/M will not help against more advance adversaries as F-7s can't carry BVRs,

F-7PG can carry LGB's for sure see pic PIC. Just one May be in center line hard point. Grifo M radars are also capable of firing stand of weapons, but not sure for BVR.
Bangladeshi F-7BG are equipped with Chinese KLJ-6 V2 radar which has a range of 70-75 km and are equipped with SD-10 missiles. Its engine also produces 17000lbs of thrust. BD Air force has the most lethal form of F-7BG in their arsenal.

I feel sorry for Bangladeshi folks, when the world moves on to fourth and fifth generation, they chest hump on inducting theultimate f7 version, equipping it with what not but forgetting about range payload and radar range. It will always be a glorified interceptor at best. The klj-6 falcon infact has less detection/ tracking range than grifo 7pg, but has compatibility with HMS though.

Yes also, we feel sorry for Pakistan Air force currently that has more than 343 F-7PG compared to 76 F-16/ 49 JF-17s.

Are we still using old farting horrible F-7PGs in training exercies overseas?

 

[salman-1]

Sorry you are not informed well for numbers. We only have 80 F-7PG and 110 F7-Mp models exactly.F-7PG is considered 43% more better in performance according to Wing commander Tufail, as he was the chief selector for this version. Its turn rate according to him is almost same as F-16. It has a very powerfull engine giving 16000 pounds of thrust as compared to 14000 of F-7MP. PAF has itself installed thermo-dynamic system on its F-7 fleet for confirm. HMS installed can fire 45 degree off bore sight. Linked with US AIM-9L and PL-9E type missile. Freanch Atlis pods for lazer designation , 2 colored MFD s , Data link and alot more.

That is not Pakistan, it is some where in ME, UAE or KSA may be.

Europeans named F-7 PG as poor man's F-16. Can perform CAP missions like F-16

I dont think its not Pakistan, as both F-7 and F-7 PG were there to escort it to may be shahbaz Base

That was during a multi-national exercise in UAE in 2009, where PAF along with USAF, Britain and France were invited.

What I am saying is take a look at that picture I provided, the world was laughing of Pakistan's tiny obsolete F-7PGs next to F-16E/F, F-16 Block 60, Mirage 2000-9, F-22 Raptors, J-10A, and other advanced jets. Pakistan continue to represent F-7PG to world class training to answer your bold questions above.

Remember Pakistan has 343 F-7PGs which should be get rid of it ASAP.
