lol so what?
the Indian Tejas has been displayed with Astra missiles, and the Typhoon has been displayed with all these fancy A2G weapons. It means nothing because they are not operationally integrated with their systems.
I’m sure there’s lots of pictures of the JF-17 being displayed with all sorts of weapons, but its not even integrated with the SD-10!!
of course this may change in the future… only IF some one pays enough money for it..
and quite frankly, the PAF have other aircraft that is good for A2G like their late model F-16s. and China.. well they don’t even want the JF-17 to begin with and already have alot of good strikers (JH-7, Su-30, etc) for the role. There is no urgency for them to spend money to further develop the JF-17’s A2G functions.
What is so difficult to wired c-802 into jf-17? C-802 missile is not some new tech and is already a mature ordnance. Jh-7 has fired it so many times. J-8II has fired SD-10 5 years ago and both are already mature system. If SK F-15SK is wired to fire harpoon. Is it so hard to believe? Yr so called meteor wired to typhoon is something new. Meteor is a new kind of ramjet BVRAAM. Of cos nobody will believe it is fired until demonstrated. We are talking abt mature system friend. It’s not some rocket science.
thats why I said LCA, and Typhoon, etc. you have other aircraft that are frequently displayed with weapons they would like to use.. and even some carrying it in the air. it doesn’t mean its fully operational and ready for export.
see meteor and Gripen. still some time to go even though a Gripen fired one.
do you have proof of the JF-17 firing a C-802?
