A close up look at the Dubai AirShow - 2011.

After looking at the weapons description of the JF17 we still need a lot of improvement especially in the SD-10A range for BVR in order to tackle the Indians BVR SUK30MKI...cuz I guess their radar can hit the targets beyond 120km and can track our JF17 beyond 200kms...we really need SD10 in at least 120++km range to tackle the Eurofighters and Russian flankers...Other than that the rest of the weapons are good right now depending on the tech we have at hand and its utility.....

this is not possible, any Mid-range BRV can hardly reach classic maximum engagement range of 50KM, those 120KM ranges for BVR is the missile's maximum engine flight range (normally around 35km-70km) + gliding flight range (normally form 50km to 200km) which means nothing in real combat situation.

besides the RCS size of JF-17 it is highly doubt that MKI can detect it at 120KM let alone tracking and a solid lock, so SD-10A with maximum engagement range of 49KM (same as AIM-120C) is more than enough to face the threat of IAF. furthermore Russia missile has very bad reputation of its bad accuracy even though the warhead is very powerful`

looks like a 500lb variant of LS-6!
hopefully they'll also integrate 50KG and 100KG LS-6 variants so that thunder can carry more of them..

and besides they are more practical in WoT as they would only be dropped over small compounds..
