I remember hearing somewhere that the problem might be storage. as PGM requires a higher infrastructure standard than dumb bombs. in the long term that would not be an issue of course. as well PLAAF seems to have a lot more A2G missiles than PGBs, KD88 and KD63 are regularly seen.
Chinese air to ground weapons (missiles, PGMs, etc)

@Bltizo can you tell which model/weight-class is this green one being assembled?
Also, I still have difficulty believing that LT-3 is based on a 500kg iron bomb. It seems a bit too thin compare to GB-1 in the side-by-side picture. And I also have this picture below:
I think LT-3 looks more like based on a 250 kg class dumb bomb.

Just looking through SIPRI numbers for exports to Pakistan. China signed deal in 2008 for exporting the following to Pakistan from 2010 until now:
1000 LS-3
1000 LS-6-500
1000 LT-2
750 PL-12
1100 PL-5E
150 WMD-7 EO targeting pod
I found it really interesting they sold this much precision munition to Pakistan, but we have yet to see photos of them in PLAAF. Especially LS-6.

What's LS-3?
China likely didn't have faith that its air force would be able to commit enough planes to dropping LGBs. most of its storage of ASM are KD88 and 63 i presume.
I am not fully confident as to SIPRI's numbers.
We have never seen any JF-17 in PAF service with WMD-7 targeting pods. If they bought 150 of them, we would know about it.
Hi tphuang all this ammo is for jf17 or some can be carried by PAF mirage too
if possible to answer
thank you
So does the PLA have any air launched cruise missiles?
