JH-7 as a Missile Hauler

[Bilal]

Support your assumption with evidence. Which PGM can be launched by India from 150-200 km inside their territory and hitting targets within our depth at 150-200 km?
From top my head, I can't think of anything other than 40 odd Brahmos capable Su-30 and SCALP carrying Rafales. With new air defence systems and EW assets, what will be the interception rate against those missiles?
Nobody can stop an enemy aircraft from launching an ALCM from 400 km, but this threat can be mitigated in various ways.

Brahmos, Rudram series and SCALP.

Brahmos, Rudram series and SCALP.

Rudram isn't operational yet and it is anti-radiation I think. Brahmos and SCALP are very expensive ALCM and with limited launch platforms, they can only be fired in limited quantity at a time. So PAF's strategy to defend against missiles instead of spending resources on trying to shoot down IAF aircraft at 400 km makes more sense. As I said before, nobody can shoot a fighter at this range, not even S-400.

Yes, my mistake. May Allah have mercy on him.

On cusp of operationalization, given the testing.
