With a normal Air to Air Weapons Load, Pakistan Air Force JF-17 is performing combat air patrols. One of the success stories of Pakistani military planners is the JF-17 Program Management, whose astute/timely choices meant that Pakistan has more than 150 JF-17s.

Beautiful picture! Nice to see Pakistan is happy with the Thunder program.
Need higher resolution to be the desktop wallpaper.
BTW, by converting png to jpg can save 80% on the file sizes also it's much more friendly for forum attachments.

Two combat-tested (Operation Swift Retort) REK-83 glide bombs are mounted aboard a PAF JF-17 Thunder Block II.



The REK-83 glide bombs are stand-off weapons (SOW) and precision guided munitions (PGMs) made in Pakistan that can deliver a 1,000 pound bomb precisely up to 80 kilometres distant. The bombs can either be infrared imaging directed or GPS/BNSS guided. The REK-83IIR model is the one displayed in this picture. There are also in service versions with higher ranges of 120 km and 200 miles or more that use boosters.
