Wing Reinforcement Makes Thunder More Lethal !

[Windjammer]

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) has reportedly reinforced the wing roots on JF-17s which enables these aircraft to carry a Mk-84 Bomb under each wing . Until now this capability was only available on F-16s. While most aircraft can carry MK-84 Bombs on centreline station under the belly, very few can boast of carrying same under wings.

Good news!. THis also affirms that structurally, there is confidence in the airframe.

MK-84 is 430KG bomb
C802 is 670kg

why they need wing reinforcement while thunders were already carrying c802AK ?

Would love to see Thunders carry more of these MK series bombs.

Is this structural mod being done during aircraft overhauling or already incorporated on Block 2 and Block 3?
Or will this be specific to Block 3s only?

Already incorporated on Block 2.
Earlier the JF-17 could only carry the MK-84 on it's centre line pylons.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Are these precision guided weapons?

No, dumb bombs.

They can be made smart with kits
