Is LD-10 can become a game changer for Pakistan air force?
The Chinese made LD-10 air-to-surface anti-radiation missile is a variant of the SD-10A BVR air to air missile meant for Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD), (similar to Raytheon's High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM).
The LD-10 retains the overall aerodynamic layout of the SD-10A, but has the active radar seeker of the SD-10A replaced with a new passive radar-homing seeker.
The LD-10 has been designed such as to be retrofitted faster and with minimal modifications to launch platforms, which have been cleared for use with the SD-10A missile. These include the J-8, J-10, J-11 and the JF-17.
The missile has maximum range of 80 km with a 20 kg warhead.
Pakistan air force received first 100 missiles in 2016 and became first foreign customer.
Missile have a capability to destroy air targets like AWACS or a big size aircraft too as well as ground radars.
Due to small size and its less weight, JF17 thunder can carry four LD-10 on its two dual ejectors and can fire two in a time in Su-30mki like aircraft or on SAM installation .
Missile can give hard push to JF thunder in their anti-radar capabilities.
