Is he also aware that up until last year, the AMCA PPT didn’t even use DSI inlets? Who is copying whom?

I'm pretty sure Indians doesn't have the technology for DSI, let alone many other key technologies for a 5th gen fighter. Even in 2030 may indians debut some working prototype of AMCA, it would be something like KF21 nowadays. However the more possible situation is that the AMCA would be in a new round of iteration which looks like some 6th gen fighter of China or US in ppt.

By what definition is this is a small and light missile? It has a launch weight of 2,200 kg! That's YJ-18 territory, or just a bit less than YJ-12. Quite a feat for a 12t MTOW aircraft like JF-17 to take off with one of these "small size" cruise missiles and have enough range to do something useful with it. Give us a source for your highly suspect claims or please stop polluting this thread with disinformation.

This is the second thread now that you posted the same photos with the same copy-pasted amateurish claim that HD-1 is a small and light missile that can be carried by the JF-17, a fighter with a MTOW of 12t.

I will remind you that it has been established several years now that HD-1 has a launch weight of 2,200kg, which is comparable in weight to the YJ-18. I am asking you for the second time to provide a source for those claims.

I'll remind you that the launch weight of 2200kg refers to the vehicle-launched variant, which includes a booster. There are two other variants: one air-launched and one ship-launched. The air-launched variant has no booster and weighs 1200kg. It can be released from altitudes of 7000m to 12000m at speeds of 0.8ma to 0.95ma.

I'm surprised you didn't know this.

So you made up the part about the JF-17? Thanks, that's what I suspected all along.

That strange ASM seen under a JF-17 model are air-launched variants of the HD-1 called HD-1A:

Wow. That's quite a step up. Two 1,200kg missiles. Is this a Block III airframe?

If I am not mistaken, the heaviest missile the JF-17 had up till now carried was the CM-400 AKG, which was reported to weigh 910kg.

I wonder if there is still room for a 800 liter tank and 2 PL-9 missiles.

@nlalyst, much to learn you still have.

My skepticism was justified. HD-1A is over 20% heavier than the largest weapon carried by the JF-17 thus-far. When I asked you for a source, you could've just posted this photo.

Since you know everything, then surely you must know whether HD-1A can be installed on legacy JF-17s, or is it a Block III only feature?
