Pakistani K-8 fitted with heat seeking missile.

Don't know but one thing is for sure why would there be a locking pin on a dummy missile and why would a dummy missile have modules? The if you look a the belly of K-8 there is a targeting pod there so definitely this jet is designed for air to air kill now looking at the question of what need it would serve the answer is that. Pakistan might use them against Indian attack helicopters. So it can be assumed at this point that modification is done to support army aviation for anti attack helicopter role and this is a smart cheap and effective way to deny air space to attack helicopters.


Pakistan already has an advance munition program and developing a short range heat seeking missile is not something that difficult counld be American or some Pakistani version. The image of missile is not that clear to conclude any thing need further details to be precise. Yes the jet has dummy bombs on inner racks but why would a dummy missile be modular?

I think more directed towards Israeli drones, which are on order by India.
