What kind of a fuel tank is it carrying ?

Two types on f-7 supersonic 500 litres or 800 litres sub sonic only on centerline

This is 800 litres drop tanks

With only 2350 litres internal capacity and old 50 technology turbojet engine f-7 total flight time is 25-30 minutes on internal fuel and 45-50 minutes with all tanks
One of the short coming of type

Can they use sd10as?

Only the PAF knows. F7 and the F7pg primary role is point air defence .
Sir, what is radar range of F7PG, the latest version of F7 in use by Bangaldesh Air Force has reportedly radar range only up to 80 KM so it can't fully utilize BVR capability of SD10.

I want to put this out in open - we will kill in numbers and suffer losses as well. this realisation is important. we should not think that we will not suffer losses these will be painful (F16s/JF17s/Mirages/F7s) and pilots will die and will be captured.. we should be ready for it physically and mentally - rest assured Pakistan Armed Forces will inflict far far more losses on Indian Armed Forces.
Sir in aggressive role one should expect more losses as compared to defensive one.

Can any one explain how many squadrons of F7s are still operational as in the past it is mentioned that all F7s have been retired from active duty except for training purposes meanwhile F7PGs are active.

One does not need radar range of the onboard radar. By now ppl should know this. One can simply use off board sensors. Important thing is to be data linked.

Come on ppl, you can't behave like kids forever. Let's take our discussion quality up a notch

I think the Ps are more or less retired barring one squadron or so. The pgs stay (3 squadrons or thereabout) and will be with us for a few years yet.

Not sure if the sd10 has that facility

Eventually JF17s will replace the F7 and mirage squadrons but that is ongoing and it is not going to be one to one replacement. F7pg and Mirage ROSE squadrons will remain active /frontline for the near to medium term. F7s like the F6 and A5s will go to reserves "last ditch " situation (God Forbid ).

When the range of an active radar homing AAMs is stated, it is the max kinetic flight range of the missile under the most favorable launch speed and altitude.

It's not how far it's on board tiny radar can see. The on board radar seeker cannot see farther than 20 to 25 km usually. It is at this range the missile becomes a true fire and forget missile.

Apart from that, not utilizing it's max kinetic range doesn't keep it from being used to the range limit of the FCR of the F-7P/PG (if at all it is integrated to be used).
