Could K-8 Karakorum work as BVRAAM carrier for JF-17?

This will take a long time, and it is best to leave projects like this to China. My idea is easy, and could be done very quickly.

What are you inferring?- "This will take a long time, and it is best to leave projects like this to China"

To develop a large drone that can follow a jet in combat and the pilot can control it will take a good amount of time. China is the expert in drone development and it is best to leave it to them.

No, I'm going to change it to JF-17+K-8 Karakorum.

MORE RIDICULOUS IDEA THAN DRONE +AWACS @Philip the Arab

Ok, if you think so. I still need other members opinions.

Both NEED pilots whereas AWACS + DRONE LESS RISKIER THAN JF-17 + K-8 combo @Philip the Arab

I know, but you can use cadets and novice pilots to fly the plane. All they would need to do is be able to fly, and fire the missile. Drones could work with JF-17s though.

both are more prone to shot down by enemy fighter jets Because JF-17 has less radar range then AWACS and K-8 has no radar to initial guides BVR to the targets @Philip the Arab

You are right but AWACS could help JF-17 know where enemies are which in turn would allow JF-17 to use radars and lock on targets and engage with K-8s and its own BVRAAMs and return to base.

just start new thread about your JF-17+ K-8 stupid ideas of yours @Philip the Arab

Lol, no such thing as an expert. Just because China is producing drones doesn't mean Pakistan can't. We will of course trade technology and ideas with them.

I did...

 

[Philip the Arab]

Also, drones could work with the JF-17 and carry a few SD-10 BVRAAMs

I know, but it will be very expensive for Pakistan to do and really not worth it for Pakistan to waste. Best thing to do is wait for development of drone and buy it.

Nope, Skilled labour is cheap and so design, development and manufacturing can be accomplished at a fraction of the cost of the western counterparts. We have small IC chip fabrication plants so designing the electronics is not an issue. It just needs a military decision to start and some arms twisting of politicians.

A little presumptive of you to think you know what Pakistan can afford or what our priorities and strategies are regarding the acquisition of military technology.

Its radar frequency overlap problem between K-8/JF-17 its complex things to be solved and data links are not easy job to develop by Pakistan unless China help us, its more secure that UNMANNED K-8 will do the job just like Chinese develop UNMANNED HIGH SPEED DRONE (SUICIDE) BASED ON CHINESE F-6 (MIG-19 CLONE) @Philip the Arab
