In terms of air defense and air dominance roles.
Some of its capabilities are not acknowledged openly. Despite being OCU bird primarily, there is good reason why it's deployed in Bholari.
but they seem not compatible with AIM-120C-5 which PAF has in her inventory ... ???
 
In air combat, ADF is a better aircraft than Jf17-A.

Perhaps in dogfighting. Since it does not have the capability to fire the Aim-120C in our inventory (unless the radars were upgraded discreetly..which is highly unlikely) there is no way it beats the JF-17 in BVR combat.

The fact that the news came out that the ADF are unable to fire the AMRAAM, means exactly that they can fire them - as if they couldn't, it would have been kept as a state secret.

It is not a big deal, just a software update. I remember during the sanction years Pak had hacked the F-16's FCS and avionics even, and was doing funny things with them as an experiment.
