Pardon my ignorance
It's widely reported that J-10C fired PL-15 with radars off & AWACS guided PL-15 to their targets.
Does it mean PL-15 & PL-17 can be fitted to 1960 era PAF F-7 and older versions of JF-17?
Does it mean J-10CE & JF-17B3 can carry PL-17?
Supersonic highflying aircrafts are just launch platforms for AAM.

If there wings are strengthened to carry PL-15s I don't see why not.The question is if JF17 Block IIs and JF17Bs can fire PL-15Es on this basis ?? That is the million dollar question right now. If not, why not.
Its 10-0.
2019: 1 x Su-30MKI, 1 x Mig 21 and 1 x MI-17
2025: 3 x Rafales, 1 x Su-30MKI, 1 x Mirage 2000, 1 Mig-29UPG, and 1 x Heron Drone
At 1.4 km/sec, the PL-15 missiles would have taken 2-3 minutes to reach their targets. Turning on their seekers in the final moments for the kill. Humiliation yes, but they were also outclasses by the tech and tactics. Also, with so many shot down, in modern jets, I doubt it was anything other than shoot downs. The IAF just has to go through the 5 stages of grief before they can admit it.
The female pilot if caught should be handed back by Pakistan to India. There should be no political scoring on this front. And Pakistan army will do its image a lot of good by showing chivalry.
Secondly, these photographic evidences are better off coming slow to make sure the pain inflicted on the Bhakts stay as long and scars as deep.
