Not yet. Needs dual ejector racks for BVRs. That will give you 4 BVRs and 2 WVRs. Now that would be sweet and would be achievable as well.Ultimate Air superiority configuration.

We need to integrate multi racks for BVRAAMUltimate Air superiority configuration.
In a joint exercise the JF-17 was involved in ''shoot'n scoot'' tactics, it would see the bigger RCS adversary first, launch it weapon and break off before the other aircraft could acquire the smaller JF-17.....so it may be not intended to loiter around for longer periods.

Hi,
What they need to do is to move the wheels outwards towards the wings---like they did with the Grippen. You can have mini conformal tanks above the wings and body and also increase the storage capacity beneath the wing and body----add two extra hard point and with air refueling---you get a fair amount of loiter time.
Problem is if you utilize both chin mounted inlets where do you put the gun. This is why one chin mounted inlet will be designated for a POD while the gun stays where it is. As to CFT------AS SOMEONE SAID
The need to replace the legacy fighters is far too urgent to waste on redesigning anything too strenuous. Redesign could spoil what works best now and the changes and tests could set us back another couple of years which we cannot afford. My 2 paisas worth.You mean redesign the whole wing assembly?

Exactly. What was proposed is not trivial and surely lower in the list of priorities. I agree with you here.
