Seems it was a regular bomb rather than precision guided and/or laser guided.

You might indeed be correct with your statement, that this RD-93 is a blessing but it was the best available given the political and budget considerations. Anyway that does not make it a top notch engine in the class of the EJ200, the M.88 or F414 in (nearly?) all performance fields.

Therefore again; yes, it is a fine engine given the issues on what was available, politically purchasable and cost-wide affordable but what could this fighter be if it would be powered by one of the three other contenders?

Pakistan since some time acquiring tech from west related to engine, its possible that PAC is working to improve RD-93 capacity and its life.

Recent footage has revealed that Myanmar’s Air Force has received its first JF-17B fighter jets - a twin-seat variant of the JF-17 Block 2 jointly developed and manufactured by China and Pakistan. Myanmar is currently one of just two confirmed export clients for the JF-17 alongside the Nigerian Air Force and has received over a dozen fighters. Orders for the JF-17 have come alongside an order placed in early 2018 for Su-30 air superiority fighters from Russia - the first high-end heavy fighter jets in the history of Myanmar’s Air Force. The JF-17 is likely intended to provide a lighter complement to the Su-30 and is highly prized for its ease of maintenance, high sortie rate and compatibility with a wide array of high-end Chinese munitions such as the PL-12 and YJ-12 missiles.
Myanmar’s Air Force has long been a major client for Chinese arms and currently deploys apporixmiltey 30 J-7 fighter jets alongside almost two dozen Q-5 heavy attack jets. Complimentary air defence assets include the Kai Shan and HQ-12 intermediate and short-range surface to air missile systems. The JF-17 is likely intended to replace the J-7 and is intended to also replace J-7 fighters in the Nigerian and Pakistani fleets. The JF-17’s RD-93 turbofan engines, closely derived from the Russian RD-33 used by Myanmar’s existing fleet of MiG-29 fighters, will likely allow the JF-17 to use much of the infrastructure already in place in Myanmar’s to service the jets.
