Hi,
The technical answer of one missile is in the interview-----.

then whats the problem?They are willing to provide avionics for JFT and even new engine since 2014 IDEAS expo.
A combat radius of 617+ km with 2 x SD10 + 2 x CM 400 AKG + 1 x 800l tankFrom the Dubai 2011 presentations below:
Internal fuel = (2,300/0.84) = 2,738l.
External fuel = 3,000l.
Total fuel = 5,738l.
Now, this will give 1,000km range in an A2G configuration.
If you loose both the 1,100l tanks, you get rid of 1,848kg, and add 1,600kg from the two missiles. You end up 248kg lighter.
You loose the 4 x 250kg bombs = 1,000kg. You add the 2 x 200kg SD-10s. This is 600kg lighter.
In total you are now 848kg lighter.
Back to the fuel: 5,738l = 1,000km radius.
2,200l less 5,738l means 3,538l = ((3,538/5,738)*1000km) = 617km with CM-400 AKG
I have ignored the weight differences and focused on fuel.

Is that correct?
* PL5s are still missing
Still, the combat range will be greater than 617 km even when 2 x PL5s are added.

2 x PL5 + 2 x SD10 + 2 x CM 400 AKG + 1 x 800l tank
JFT with the above configuration will have a combat radius of ~ 800 km. This means that it can fly to the farthest point of our EEZ from the coastline with that configuration and return back.

Add IFR and you have a decent CAP of our coastal area or better range (giving flexibility to tactics e.g coming in for a kill from the west) in this config..
Exactly. The question is, whether or not the range of a JF-17 with a weapon configuration shown below plus 370 kg (the weight added by exchanging YJ-8 s with CM 400 AKG s) is enough to conduct air support/strike missions for PN in every possible/expected scenario.
@RASHID MEHMOOD @Oscar
I would appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Is this the HMD that PAF will introduce/use for Block-3 ?
