the combat radius is great, with how much payload does jf-17 achieve that range??Some reports says it have 1200 km combat radius. But i think it will be around 800-900 km without external tanks, as a comparable fighter in same category (tejaa) have some 550 km combat radius..
Also, kh-31 is a supersonic missile, i think you need a subsonic cruise missile too. C-802 is a good contender for that... there is a reason why USA use subsonic cruise missiles for literally All missile attacks.
we armed our f-4s with c-802/noor cruise missile in the dooran project, right now iran needs a supersonic CM to deter US ships, we tried to smuggle the kh-31 and reverse engineering it but russians caught us.
