That don't explains the actual thing I am looking for.
What I want to ask is JF-17 can carry 2 of these missile. Now if the missiles are fired at suppose a carrier group what will be chance of success.
Like if you remember flakland islands war. Exocet did a good damage.
Then the land based version of this missile has also proven it's self in Mediterranean when Lebanon blew Israeli ship. So this means the missile is quite deadly as SA'AR 5 class corvet has good counter measures but still Lebanon achieved 100% kill rate cause they only fired one missile and target was hit.
Now coming to Pakistan inducting it is a debatable issue as Pakistan has it own anti ship missile like harpoon but harpoon will not go on JF-17s and exocet are available on Mirages. JF-17 has RA'AD which will or already has an anti ship role and will have much higher range and payload.
C-400 is available for JF-17 as it is in the name of C-400AKG as it is export variant of YJ-12. That is why it is being shown with JF-17. So point which needs to be understood here is that in moderan age only C-802 is the missile that has been battle proven against modern war ships.
You have given older examples, since then and now just see how much computers have improved alone , India has exceptional sea faring sir defence capability with BARAK etc,
A carrier group will travel with at least 2 destroyers or cruisers , multiple frigates and 2-4 submarines ,
All the ship's bar the submarines have air defence, the carrier it self has over the horizon radar tracking and dual engine fighters with a good loiter time ,
Now CM400 is a super sonic ballistic missile , ie it will travel at high altitude so will be visible , although air defences are less capable against super sonic missiles , even with 10% probability of interception the Indians will launch more than 10 missiles at it , the better wrapping for this role is the other chance CX 302 I believe ( might have the name wrong) , which is a super sonic cruise missile , ie low alltiutude sea skimming so less response time and a much higher chance of hit ,
Even with CM400 you need to factor in several factors ,
Firstly the the range of 400 km means missile will have to be launched from 350 to be effective , Indians will see the formation from at least 500 km away and scramble jets , and already flying CAP would be directed , for the Pakistanis to target the ship they will need awacs , which are juicy targets for enemy air craft,
Now say you get to within 350 km , and 4 of your aircraft launch 4 missiles towards one carrier , you might get 2 hits , this will disable the carrier but it is unlikely to sink , however now the enemy will launch multiple missiles at the bases the air craft came from , so they can't return back after rearming to finish a disabled carrier,
Even more important is that given we only have a lift fighter to carry the missile , it will have less girl range , so the Indians will simple keep their carrier 800km+ away , this does mean they can't attack our land installations but our oil shipments and navy will be a open hunt for the Indian naval air fleet then ,
It's a very tricky scenario, but if say a single cm400 hits a carrier , it depends on where it strikes , it is a super sonic missile , if it hits the bridge all is kaput and the carrier would have to be towed back , if it hits right in the middle and penetrates all the way to the sea , the ship will sink , but if it hits the ends of the ship then the ship won't sink and immediate head back for port,
To give an example I would suggest you to watch the extra credit history ( a YouTube channel ) 5 part series on the hunt for the Bismarck , Even though that is world war 2 you will get a idea of how difficult it is to sink a massive naval behemoth,( worse for us since instead of being over powered like the British, we will be the under dog side )
