Is thsi going to act as advance trainer..
Doubt it

I wonder whether PAC should have given it a engine updated/endurance update as well like it did with mushaq

Misleading title, the aircraft was not “unveiled” by PAC but by CATIC. The aircraft also doesn’t exist currently. It’s just an optional package offered to customers that may want it.

Can someone take the time and write a summary table of K-8P vs this. It feels just nothing more than a slightly improved capability; most of the capability was there long back in K-8s that we examined in Namibia.

Well this is a spec change from the squadron of "improved" K-8W (HUD and Glass cockpit) Bangladesh ordered from Hongdu.

See here (ignore the schoolboy video and editing),

Not much. Just like the Egypt K-8E deal

Do any training aircraft have combat history? This is basic training aircraft

Yep.

Trainers like Hawk, Alphajet and L-39 have served in COIN operations around the world due to lower operating cost

They do.

The most was by Atlas - MB-326/Impalas. It saw heavy extended operations in Angola at extreme ranges. The biggest advantage these had was using very basic landing strips and faster turn around times. Another advantage is very low altitude flying vs the expensive jets. Logistically you need minimal crew to support. If this can be demonstrated as part of selling capabilities, it will no doubt be good.

One thing i recall we had to mod our impalas was using a ECM/jammer. This would be a must have feature for any forward operating usage.

This is new concept and no one have any record regarding this

What new concept?

Do your own research before yapping about stuff and I don't feel like spoonfeeding people when it's easy to google up "_insert_trainer_aircraft_here_ used in counter insurgency".
