JF-17 weapons load, i see this view with 6 AAM especialy 2 on a hardpoint as the J-10 but in general on pics 4 AAM, so max 6 exceptionally for tests etc... or really a AAM load for operationnal missions and same question for J-10 ?
Also can carry 2000 lbs bombs or only 1000 i see both but in general 1000 ?

That image is a photoshop ... so far - at least as I remember - these twin-launcher rails for PL-12 haven't been tested on the JF-17 and also that LS-6 is a PS-job.

 

[FORBIN]

Ofc not real but for get some ideas, so we go for 4 AAM normaly but Huitong evoke LS-6.

 

[Deino]

Yes I know, the LS-6 is real and was indeed tested already (in 2011) ... but that image is fake.

: "India-Pakistan tensions remain elevated, and some question whether the F-16s could ultimately be used against India or other regional powers, rather than the terrorists as Pakistan has asserted."

What other regional powers?

What other regional powers?

Iran is the most obvious one. It'll actually be interesting to see how the JF-17s match up against F-14s.

Pakistan has no active issues with Iran, nor are any likely in the near-to-midterm future.

This statement has been made just to make it look less India-specific. Nobody is fooled by this.

I am glad Pakistan invested in JF-17. This proves its worth. I say more power to the program!
