I was making a case for PAF couple of days ago that they should now go towards an ALBM. With an air launched HD-1 hopefully in PAF hands soon, having an ALBM will be superb capability and a big headache for India as they will have to deal with subsonic and supersonic ALCM along with an ALBM.@Toxic if we do end up having air launched hd-1s with full 500-600km range whats the argument for taimoor? Lo? These things are gonna get through indian AD much more easily and have basically the same range as subsonics. There couldve been a cost or availability argument but theyre gonna make these here under ToT or alternatively have option buy them direct from china and considering our shitty ass artisian missile production i wont be surprised if they cost and take basically the same ammount of time to build.
The only issue will be the carrier for that ALBM because due to its weight and size only J-10 and Mirage can carry it if I am not mistaken. That's where JF-17 gets limited in its mission role due to its lightweight.
