Yes, theirs is 3x heavier than ours and will be better suited for fighter jets. Our one is light and can be used by even relatively small UAV's.
i'm wondering is there any possibility to load these on our jets? it would be a great weapon for CAS missions.
 
They 100% can, matter of fact we will certainly see them used on CAS jets.
actually seems like world is moving toward this type of munitions for CAS porpose. like US AGM-179 and AGM-169 or british brimstone and SPEAR. it makes completely sense to replace these missiles with AGM-65 maverick. just imagine we integrate them to our f-5 jets. with two maverick sized bomb an f-5 has a combat radius of 500km while a maverick weights 300kg. lets say we arm them with 6 akhgar. this would save almost 400kg of weight and triple the A2G capability of plane and increase it's combat range to 850 km.:cheesy::cheesy:
