JF-17 Thunder's Armament

[Dazzler]

Why two pods instead of one if it is Indira ECM?

we might be looking at a dedicated EW asset

hmm, i had a suspicion that these are ALQ-500 jammers and the aircraft may well be testing a wild wiesel/ intrediction like capability.

The ASPJ package would be to protect the aircraft and to provide some escort jammer capability.

EW packages come in a variety of design configurations. Two pods instead of one give an overall more robust capability than a single pod.

Nice ... a JF-17 in anti-ship configuration.

By the way; does the latest unit - the No. 2 Squadron Minhas - by now have their own tail markings similar to the 16th and 26th Squadron ?

Yup, the silhouette of Nishan-e-Haider, Pakistan's highest military award given to Rashid Minhas, who belonged to the No. 2 unit hence the call sign, Minhasian.

Are they going to change the blue color of the missiles to some darker shade to match the color of the jet? The blue stands out like crazy.

Also, why don't the majority of the JFT pics show BVR missiles? I rarely see those and with only 10-116 serial number.

Those are training round. And here is a picture of different aircraft with SD-10

I think it is just this.View attachment 333576

It is just a plain old cluster bomb, but fanboys won't obviously listen

Well I hope in BLOCK III due to dual rack the hardpoint which is supposed to carry BVR is able to carry two BVR. Just imagine two BVR on each side total of 4 along with two short range air to air Missiles it would be great boost to us.

Nothing To Do With Blocks All Blocks CaN Carry SD10 As It Was Software Upgrade On Radar To Support SD 10 PLUS launcher

Dual launcher will mean more missile plus room for drop tanks so additional range
