C802 is an Anti-Ship supersonic cruise missile

C802s have always been subsonic.

Thank you for correcting the mistake, yes it is "sub-sonic" I mixed it up with CM-400AKG which is the supersonic missile.
Pakistan Could Have Technical Edge on Indian Air Force Despite Rafale Jet Deployment: IAF Veteran

New Delhi (Sputnik): On Friday, Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief RKS Bhadauria said the 36 Rafale jets were not the whole solution to the IAF's needs. India signed a $7.8 billion contract with French Dassault Aviation to buy the aircraft in 2019.
Sitting beside Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Air Force Chief Rakesh Kumar Bhadauria issued a strong warning to the political leadership of India, claiming that the Rafale fighter jet is insufficient to meet the country's defence needs.
IAF veteran Vijainder K Thakur told Sputnik that Rafale is definitely the best aircraft in the IAF's inventory now. However, a determined adversary like the Pakistan Air Force could turn the tables on the IAF by deploying longer-ranged Chinese PL-15 missiles on an updated version of the JF-17 jet.
Powered Up JF-17
The Pakistan Air Force’s single engine multirole fighter, the JF-17 manufactured by the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, is due for a major upgrade, similar to the advanced technologies seen on the J-20 stealth fighter, the Chinese newspaper Global Times reported earlier this year.
It is confirmed by the Chinese outlet that the upgraded JF-17 fighter jet will have “an infrared search and track system and a radar cross section reducing ‘pseudo-stealthy’ airframe”.
The JF-17 fighter jet has been also equipping with that has posed serious concern among the US Air Force due to the long range of its missiles.
Lessons From Balakot Strike and Options for India
On February 27 2019, a day after the IAF struck an alleged terror training camp at Balakot, the PAF surprised the IAF with its longer range AMRAAM and better supporting sensor capability.
Emphasising the importance of indigenous Astra air-to-air missile, Indian Air Force Chief Bhadauria said at a seminar in New Delhi on Friday that when the missile goes on to the Su-30 and MiG-29, that the power of parity and better performance will spread across the air force.
The Indian Air Force will start taking delivery of the Rafale jets in May 2020.

The IAF's excessive focus on platforms rather than sensors and weapon systems was evident during the Kargil conflict with Pakistan two decades ago. “The IAF fulfilled the expectations only after it made emergency purchases of Laser-Guided Bombs and targeting pods,” Thakur said.

“The PL-15 and the range of that missile, we’ve got to be able to out-stick that missile,” US Air Force’s Command chief had said in 2015.

Hmmm... a 'stealthy' air frame... PL-15s... and an IRST (implied integrated)... I also heard it has an anti-gravity engine. The IAF is gonna have its hands full when it faces our new Block 'UFO' Thunders.
I do hope the PL-15s and IRST (externally equipped at least) are in the pipeline. If they are, this bird is gonna be punching way above its weight.

Although there is no official confirmation, I think it is highly likely that the PAF will acquire PL-15s because they can't take advantage of KL-7A's higher range if they don't.
PL-15 have to be in the pipeline otherwise balance will be tilted too much in the favour of IAF.
I hope so, but until there's an official confirmation (or some leaked picture of a PL-15 mounted on the prototype) such articles are pure conjecture. It's just annoying that people have just taken it for granted that the Block III will have the PL-15... just like they claimed that it would have a new engine, CFTs, integral IRST etc... Just wait for confirmation before celebrating!! lolz
You are indeed pointing towards an - IMO highly annoying and - barely understandable point, namely this constant over-hyping!
Especially at the PDF are some most annoying members who - at least so it seems to me - always reach the status of "gasping" which seems to lead to a lack of oxygen in their brain. The latest example once again was the JF-17 Block 3's HUD, which is SIMILAR but not exactly the same to the J-20's, and immediately they came to the conclusion or even took this as proof, the PAF might get the J-20.
