JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

Hi,

JF17 is not fit for a true anti ship strike role. It is too small of an aircraft.

JH7A still rules higher on mission capability---.

a smart missile does wonders

and costs much less to develop and operate.
 
We have to learn from sinking of moskova where an advanced version of air defence was fooled by a UAV and 2 less advanced cruise missiles went through with ease without any intercepts.

Once you have the means tactics play the main role. U can't just rely upon the weapons alone

With the advancement in anti ship missile technology launch platform is not as important as it used to be.

PN would better rely on its future Sea Sultan as a missile carrier escorted by JF-17s. Or as the images show J-10Cs in Mirage camo, perhaps they would be employed for role. JH-7 ship has long sailed.

J10c can carry anti-ship missiles? or let me rephrase can our j10ce carry any anti-ship missiles.

Hi,

I would suggest looking at the upcoming B-52 bombers---.

How about the F15's---the newer one.

The strike aircraft are a different breed. Their utility is different.

So regardless of what aircraft---Pak navy needs a heavy aircraft to carry 2 --- 1000 KG each ASh missile 400-500 miles out to sea before launch.

This means keeping the enemy 600-800 miles away from your shoreline.

The UAV's cannot travel the distance we want them to---.

We want to be 400---500 miles away from our land and into the enemy territory.

Modern missiles are extremely effective---but keeping the enemy farthest away from your shoreline is a big big +---.
