Not about the authenticity though... but still what you are saying and what this brochure says has PAF broken the secret code.....???? that's a BIG thing

AMRAAM on JF-17 shouldn't be any secret or you aren't clear to tell what you mean.

I was not aware that AIM-120 AMRAAM can be mated with the KLJ-7 & KLJ-7(V)2.

the confusion is here ... official AMRAAM manufacturer doesn't mention JF-17... if we/ China really (if we go with brochure) did then it is a straight forward legal issue.. isn't it?

AMRAAM only means "Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile". AIM-120X is just one type of an AMRAAM.

you are right but in context of discussion (what go Indians spooked) we are here only referring to AIM-120X.. so moral of the story is that AIM-120 is NOT integrated onto JF-17 and it were only F-16s that made the kills on 27th Feb..
By the way I am not sure what @Eagle wanted to say... can he please elaborate further?

Some day the true story of what happened on Feb 27 will come out, but not anytime soon.

"AMRAAM" is a designation of a missile and it's not a product bound to only one OEM. AIM 120 etc are products with all the rights reserved with OEM. China introduces an AMRAAM means a missile but will surely has a name. AMRAAM is advice medium range air to air missile. Then you have BVRAAM or WVRAAM but the fact remains which one. Further more, none of the operators can mate so & so missiles without source codes to the product especially otherwise, see how few of IAF crashes happened.

May be ISPR should consider your idea.

A US F-18 that shot down a syrian Su22 in 2017 recently appeared with kill markings and even in the case of this display JF17 so I dont think seeing kill markings so early is possible and that's PAF we are talking about.

While others are quick to paint and display scores achieved even in DACT exercise.

F-22 Raptor kill on EFT.

Some people really need to control their obsession but in fact, it takes great amount of patience to hold back yourself. And then some vent their frustration and expose themselves being obsessed but can't say openly.

The short answer is negative, without going into the implications thereof.

Why you had to do this? You just spoiled the whole fun

 

[Trailer23]

AIM-120X is just one type of an AMRAAM.

To my knowledge there are only 4 Types of AMRAAM.

1. Aim-120A (Discontinued before Raytheon took over Hughes)
2. Aim-120B
3. Aim-120C
4. Aim-120D

There is however a Aim-9X (Sidewinder)...

@Windjammer
Simplest answer of this question lies in the signature line of your post!

So what about the R-77 or the PL-12? Those are AMRAAMs too.

And there are also AAM-4 from Japan with an AESA, Meteor is also in the category of AMRAAM sir
