As an aside whilst looking for images came across this link, first time I have seen any attempt to up-arm the Iranian F-7/J-7 if that is what it's attached to.
Plus it appears PDRK MiG-21 may also be armed with AGP-250.

Country
North Korea
Service
Air Force
In Commission
Circa 2010(?) exported design to Iran?
Number in Service
Munitions likely very few but exported Sudan
Sensors
Glonass/Commercial satellite guidance.
Mounts
As extant Yasin weapon in all regards Appears weapon record of 2 or 4 weapons will meet most loadouts for H-5/Il-28 Beagle and probably NK Su-25?
Loadout Options
As stated H-5/IL-28 Beagle modernised 2-4 weapons externally. Su-25 2-4 weapons. Speculation that F-5 could also carry 2 as this would be programmed on the ground and the ancient airframe is literally just a carrier platform.
Other Changes
Appears PDRK and Iran probably cooperated on Yasin/APG-250 and it is in use on Sudanese Su-24 as well.
