The deal with Pakistan encompasses 10 Karakoram-8 light attack aircraft, more than 200 drones for scouting and kamikaze attacks, and advanced air defence systems, said two of the three sources with knowledge of the matter, who all sought anonymity.
It was a "done deal", said Aamir Masood, a retired Pakistani air marshal who continues to be briefed on air force matters.

How come Pakistan is supplying HQ 9 , and that too as part of just 1.9 billion dollars sales.?
The HQ 9 on its own costs more than that I guess ?

Ok , internet says HQ 9 Costs around 400 million USD , so , could be part of 1.6 billion USD deal.
But Pakistan doesn't make any component of that system.
 
Well unless

that is a rare sortie dude..you don’t have these missiles for everyday AD missions . Pl15 is a standard AD config..so by now a pic must have occurred ..can’t compare a AG mssile vs a standard AA configuration . Then how do you explain tons of j10 pics airborne with pl15? Tons of pics with f16s airborne with 4x amraams …but none with jf17…not a single picture …not one but tons of pics of jf17 in the ground …just one pic but you can’t find one
There is no doubt that JF-17 can carry 4 PL-15 but it will perform better in a fight with lesser load of 2. Depending on the mission, the decision can be taken for 4 but generally it is better to keep it as light as possible for more loitering time and other added advantages.

Do you know how many pl-15s jf-17 can carry at max? Including dual ejector racks btw. Is total number 9 or 7?
