which missile is on wingtip
and please detail of this ammo
The white and blue is the C-802A anti-ship missile.
The green one with a white tail is the LeiShi-6
The gray one is very interesting. Looks like it is written "WMD-7"! ... ... and I am sure you know what google will give you once you type "WMD"!

China and Pakistan have reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a stealth version of a light-weight fighter aircraft being jointly produced by them to match MiG-21 warplane, a work horse of the Indian Air Force.
JF-17 Thunder, also known as FC-1, being jointly built by Kamra-based Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and Chengdu Aerospace Company (CAC) today made its first appearance at an international air show having flown in here after making refueling stops in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The plane, which has been in development in one form or another since 1991, is a symbol of cooperation between China and Pakistan and the first assembled version brought out by the Kamra plant, delivered in November last year, according to 'Show News,' a special issue of defence journal Aviation Week for the Farnborough Air Show.
"The two (countries) have also reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a stealth variant of the JF-17 Thunder," it said.
The journal said that Pakistan Air Force (PAK) is expected to acquire around 250 JF-17s, but this may be a split of 100 in the JF-17 configuration, being displayed at the air show here, and 150 of the stealth multi-role combat aircraft (MCRA) between 2015 and 2025.
A Russian-built Klimov RD-93 engine -- a specialised single-engine fighter variant of the Mig 29’s RS-33 powerplant, powers the plane. The first prototype of the warplane flew in 2003 and the first two Chinese-made versions were handed over to the PAF in March 2007.
Show organisers said that the two JF-17 fighter planes would not fly as part of the air show. "The aircraft has not completed its full release to service in Pakistan," the journal said, quoting a member of the flight control committee.
"Although that full release is only month away, the PAF is also today in what is for them new territory. Farnborough is their very first event of this kind ever," it said.

Hi,
I would have rather had him panick the moment he realized the F 15 was at his tail and put on some escape velocity---than have a missile launched at his tail pie.
His top end speed is almost close to one and half to twice the speed of the F 15---.

China: Russias Not Stopping the Flow of JF-17 Engines
By TOM KINGTON, FARNBOROUGH, Britain An official at the Chinese export agency marketing the Chinese JF-17/FC-1 fighter says Russia has given no signal that it will interrupt the flow of the RD-93 engine it makes for the aircraft.

We have a contract for the supply of 100 engines, we have signed an agreement for the eventual supply of 500 engines, and we believe that is still on course, said the official from the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export agency (CATIC). I have not seen any instruction to stop this. We have nothing through official channels, and believe the engine is still an option for exported aircraft.
The official spoke at the Farnborough Air Show, where the JF-17 made its first static display appearance at an international air show.
Earlier this month, Sukhoi general director Mikhail Pogosyan had appealed to his government to block the supply of RD-93s, which are built by Chernyshyov Machine-building Enterprise. Russian aircraft exports were being harmed by Chinese competition, Pogosyan had warned.
The aircraft has been sold to the Pakistani Air Force, which flew to Farnborough two of the 16 aircraft it has received.
It is the first time we put the aircraft out there so we can get feedback, said a Pakistan Air Force official, describing the $20 million JF-17. For cost and capabilities, there is no equivalent.
The CATIC official said that talks were underway with four to six potential export customers. Pilots from those nations had been testflying the aircraft in China, he said.
We expect the first contracts in a year or two, the official said.
The JF-17 will not fly at Farnborough, but is slated to give a flight demonstration at the Zhuhai Air Show in November, the official said.
