J8F Is Awful

That’s fine ,Both Shar FA2 and F3 should have Aim-9M or ASRAAM ideally.

Well now it appears the f16c will be mounting aim7m’s which it never used and likely couldnt use. If thats the case Id would hope j8f gets pl11’s as compensation

I suspect It has Aim-7 as placeholder for AMRAAM and its final block number is up in the air right now, with a lot of debate about whether it could or could not run Aim-7

If not radar missiles yet, then how about pl8a/b or pl5e to pair against aim9m and r73

PL-5E would be some what comparable with the new soviet and american missiles.It has IRCCM but it can only pull 35g.Does PL-8B have IRCCM?

PL-8B use a four-element infrared seeker.

J-10A could be worthwhile to come into the game with PL-11 and PL-8B. Then they can upgrade it to PL-12 later

Oh yeah, pl8b is a late 80/early 90s missiles with irccm. Pl5e would also be deadly with its short burn and high speed with all aspect
