If the K-8's hardpoints can take the REK-equipped with MK-81, yes, but I don't think the PAF will be using many MK-81s with the REK. This is probably reserved for MK-82 and MK-83 as stand-off strike (for across the border) is generally reserved for heavyweight warheads. I don't know about cost.sir i have a question. K-8P have 4 hardpoint's under it's wings. each wing can carry 250 kg's load. a single M-81 dumb bomb weigh 119 while adding this Range extension kit it will become 170 kg's. From this seem's that a K-8P "Physically" is able to carry 4 Guided M-81 bomb's.
But is it feasible when we talk in broader context ? both economically and technologically ? Coz if it is, it will be huge boost for forces on our western border. we can save decent amount of money in form of very low operational cost.
4x (119+50)= 680 kg
Remaining 320 kg for 23 mm cannon Pod and rounds under fuselage.
Also, can we guess the price tag of this REK for M-81 or M-82 bomb's ?
