It is called Initial operational certification for a reason to certify that the aircraft is capable of flying ...
Actually it is ... IOC is for both air - worthiness and ability to perform basic tasks ... So if they are going for IOC-2 , it means the aircraft need to be certified again ...
Why would HAL need IOC-2 for validating radar guided missiles ? This thing comes after FOC and then upgradation to a certain level ( blocks , tranches etc ) in all the projects around the world ...
Initial operating capability or Initial operational capability (IOC) is the state achieved when a capability is available in its minimum usefully deployable form. The term is often used in government or military procurement.[1][2] Declaration of an initial operating capability may imply that the capability will be developed in the future, for example by modifications or adjustments to improve the system's performance, deployment of greater numbers of systems (perhaps of different types), or testing and training that permit wider application of the capability.[3] Once the capability is fully developed, Full operational capability may be declared.[4]This does not preclude additional users from obtaining the capability after FOC.
Insider sources in Pakistan have told you more than you can expect ISPR to ever reveal ...
