Is that gudience pod? Why does it have fins?

Looks possibly like MAR-1 no?

Thanks for clarifying.

Seems like a lot of weight and effort (two seperate planes needed right?) to put that small warhead on a target

for the same reason drop tanks have fins, to manage/control air flow and reduce drag. MAR1 is thin and long like an A2A missile and it was never mated with Mirages

Excellent to see that the Pakistan has cracked the problem of designing smart munitions in Pakistan now. Hopefully they can get the production side of things lined up correctly so that they can now be produced on mass otherwise Pakistan will end up in the same scenario as Iran of having lots of designs, but no military combat mass from these systems.

If you consider where Pakistan was 10 years ago, literally having no one sell them anything and having no ability(i would argue desire imho) to build munitions at home, to now where there are so many designs, it is difficult to work out what is going on !!!
