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

[Danish Moazzam]

Also the range of the BVR missile is dependent on the speed and height of the launch platform. F7-PG has better height and speed compared to K-8, so an F7-PG datalinked with Thunder. Its radar switched off and on standby when requested by Thunder.

Thunder could launch its two BVR and if needed it can call and position the other F7 to be in position to launch which can be then directed by thunders radar.

So a doable solution, but cannot validate the cost effectiveness, it will be better to have Thunders in the Air war with saturation attack. As all other resources will still be same (pilot, fuel, base support)

Not much point using. Manned f7 or k8 but a drone version of em controlled by ground operator or even the weapons officer of jf17 b type itself is possible but have to look at costs

@pakistanipower are you an electronics/electrical/telecom/aeronautical engineer by any chance ?

No sir i just software developer living in USA, But i have Plan to earn at least master degree in aerodynamics @Signalian[/QUOTE]
i find avionics in aerospace more interesting than aerodynamics

It can be done. Its not something which his impossible. There was a program for B1s to carry amraams for the fighters. But this is almost a suicide mission for the K-8 pilot. K-8 being an underpowered trainer, would be very sluggish during the engagement and would simply have no energy for evasive maneuvers during an aerial engagement. That's the reason why even fighters drop their munitions when missiles are launched at them.

Their is not air combat UCAV in any air force, all UCAV only intended for ground attack, close air support, even USAF don't have air combat drone at its arsenal @Philip the Arab

This might about to be changed - thanks to Bayraktars in Turkey!!! Look at the plethora of

indigenously produced weapons - cruise missiles, SOMs, A2A missiles, smart precision weapons etc. - to be integrated with this HALE called Akinci (pronounced Akinji)!!! Test flights are starting in this month, and deployment is planned by the end of 2020!! Don't miss on the indigenous AESA radars and EW suits, based on in-house GaN based devices!!! According to Selcuk Bayraktar, the CTO of the company and the younger son-in-law of Reis Erdo'an, this bird is meant for the strategic deployment, not to chase the proxy terrorist scums.... ​

its only for self defense i assume bro whether it have AESA or not today UCAV are to small to fit any kind of long range AESA or pulse Doppler radar for long range interception, unless your UCAV reaches fighter jet lengths like F-16/F-15 @Hakikat ve Hikmet

This is the future bro …… As I said to @Mrc proper 6th gen or some can call it 7th gen will going to be UCAVs able to do every thing .. here I will also give example from movie Stealth (hopping I am having right name) ..

This bird is not tiny!!! According to the media, it's meant for A2A mission!!!

"The Akıncı will also be equipped with an electronic support pod, air-to-air radars, satellite communication system, barrier-identification radar, synthetic aperture radar and meteorological radar – all designed and developed in Turkey. The platform will operate with various ammunition configurations.

Baykar officials have said that the drone may be equipped with air-to-air missile systems domestically developed in Turkey and may be deployed in air-to-air missions."

This is a beast and will provide PAF with a strategic weapon system that can wreck havoc on Indian AD systems.

Insha’Allah she’ll see actions in the Kashmir front!!! This is nicknamed as the “flying fish”!!! It’ll be like the Fish that gobbled Hazret-I Yunus (PBUH)!! This time it’ll gobble the Hindutva....

By the by, the production capability of these UAVs is being increased many folds to cater for demands from Turkey and her friends....

this UCAV has a length of K-8 or BAE Hawk its radar barely reach Beyond visual range (I assume), those AAM for only self defense (SRAAM) its still basically close air support/ground attack UCAV a bit larger in size @Hakikat ve Hikmet

Also, UCAVs have almost no form of defense as they can barely maneuver at all and a ground operator has way less combat awareness than a pilot. If India gets S-400 they will be easy targets.

but less riskier then if you put K-8/Hawk with pilots, countries spent million of $$$ on training for Air force pilots @Philip the Arab

If a K-8 can take out a Su-30 or any other combat plane than it is worth it.
