Wanrong, Thanks for the pic. I think multiple rail launcher has a huge potential. China must exploit this potential like US has done with F-18s... Just look and count how many AIM-120Cs it can carry...

OMG! 12 A2A missile

I think its a great achievement by PLAAF, Thumbs up...

Wit that kind of payload..you would need better engine with more thrust and you'll have to drop most of the payload before getting into dogfight but its a clear advantage.You can turn J10 into an air superiority fighter with A2A configuration and good AESA Radar, BVR, Engine with huge thrust.

That doesn't have anything to do with the number of hardpoints but the kind of rack the missiles are hooked up

Happy Independence day to China

Its a smart move , i must say !

Having multiple Launchers are lucrative for sure , and i suspect the aircraft is J10/A , can any one tell wether the FC20 has got more hardoints ?

The JAS 39 gripen has two more hardpoints on the opposite sides of the lower fusalage , they done it by changing the way the Tyers are secured inside and creating enough space to put 2 more Pods for any kind of missiles as you can see in the Picture 2 A2G missiles are loaded.

Can anyone inform , wether PAF is getting Sniper , Targeting pods with our Block 50/52+ ??

Yes, it is getting sniper pods.We've already got few of them for our existing F-16's.

so will fc-20(PAF version) have these hard points too,and could those 4 belly hard pint load missiles.

I don't see them removing hardpoints for the PAF version. ... ... I am not sure about missiles on the four belly hardpoints as these are need to be different to pylons for bombs. My point was just that an iron bomb like an Mk-82 will have the same mounting points as the GBU-12 laser-guided bombs.

Missile on the other hand I believe need an umbilical to communicate with the plane.

But still to have a rack you need hard point.
