[war&peace]

Try to have some technical info before hopping.

Kiddo, good that you learned the word technical info..

what about just 1?

Hi,

If there is enough ground clearance---.

Jf-17 can carry 2 RAAD. The cruise missile is 1100 kg which equal to a 2000 pound bomb which can be seen on jf-17 easily.

The ground clearance for one is not there.

Yes the problem lyes there. At centre fuselage point ground clearance is not sufficient. Integration is not a problem any way nor the weight.

If PAF wants it it can easily build a version that can..but it seems focus of raad is purely nuclear and mirages are sufficient for that role

For jf17 for now its taqbir (60km stand off weapon )

We still need a decent 200km stand off weapon but PAF thinks its not economical to develop a stand off crusie missle for conventional role

This is my guess based upon open source info

 

[blueazure]

can the JF 17 do a dam buster strike on baghliar and kishan ganga dam ?

is there a weapon suite for such role ?

has the PAF practised such an attack ?

Bhai half of Pakistan will be drowned.

Seriously instead of putting pilot life and 25 million dollar asset on the line is not a wise thinking. They will surely go for a million dollar less risky solution.

I might be wrong i am deducing this from general domain info.
PAF only stand off weapon for conventional use seem to be glide bombs like takbir 60km at optimum height and speed.

H2(south African raptor) is the only other rocket assited glide bimb which we have never seen along or on jf17 ..it is old weapon from 20 years ago and needs a better upgrade

Now PAF might have gotten a chinese solution that we dont know of

Could be a little bit stale news.... but JF-17 Block 3 seem finally thundering into the international market...

I would expect the deal could reach ~ $5 - 6 billion altogether if each buy about 50 examples!!!
