JH-7 as a Missile Hauler

[BlueMarlin]

The more I research JH7A, the more I think Mastan Khan's initial idea wasn't a bad one. PAF could have invested in an updated version of JH7A with all modern 4.5+ gen bells and whistles to support JF-17.

but now we see the idea is not only a bad one but a shortsighted one. it hold no benefit other than its payload which isnt a justified solution. swams of loyal-wingmen, ucav, and kamikaze drones are the new toys to fight the next war.

A surprising comparison:

Su-30MKI heavy fighter
Maximum range (internal fuel only): 3,000 km
Maximum payload: 8 tons

JH-7B/A2 fighter-bomber (classified as a medium fighter)
Maximum range (internal fuel only): 3,650 km
Maximum payload: 9 tons

What is the point of senseless Topic - and that too in the PAF section !!!

Talking about Pakistan getting JH-7 is like me starting a topic about Pakistan getting B-1 Lancers.

Awww cool, let me go start a new Topic.
