Integrating missile will not be very difficult if plane has open system architect. It allows easy integration. In other case, the software languages can be a major hurdle in Integration. For example, an American missile is hard to integrate with Russian plane and vice a versa. Open system architecture makes the task easy. Same is the case with modular design. It is easy to replace a part in same kind of design. India strictly follow modular designing approach in its weapon development.
I was talking with respect to JF17 or the Tejas. Cm400 or KH series missiles were not designed with integrating with those fighters in mind. That thought of integration comes second and hence becomes lil.tricky but not impossible.
Even an American missiles can be integrated with Russian radars. It has been done during and after cold war with the cold war aircrafts. It needs software reprogramming. If the designer is all cooperating then anything can be done.
So 100 missiles were ordered in 2017 or 2018 and 4 years later it has not been delivered or integrated with Jf17 really?? This assumption of yours is based on what fact ? Traditionally PAF is always secretive about high end weapons and projects so it is possible that the weapon is ready to use but not yet unveiled to public.......
That's why I replied with lots of ifs and buts if you had read my reply properly. Integrating is just not software part alone. Vibration tests, dummy release test, missile firing has to take place. Multiple firings has to take place before one has to be declared the missile is operationally declared with an AC. Of course this is how normal development takes place.
PAF which shows off every new induction with firings etc to show India that they have them. Example is Raad firing. Reg CM400 there is no such evidence. Infact no one even knows if the ordered missiles are delivered. Or they are part of JF17 BLK3 order ,in that case it will be delivered when bk3 starts to get delivered
