Lets dua for the best and pray to Almighty Allah for the success.. btw never underestimate your enemies and never forget to ask for the "Fazal of Allah" in any missionget ready for injuns to make excuses about why the JF17 was able to hold its own against the Qatari rafales including but not limited to "Qatari pilots are no good" and "Qatari rafales are inferior to injun rafales" and when all else fails then "Qataris sold out to the PAF and purposefully failed in exchange for hobara busturds and lucrative lng contracts".
I think both pak and Turkey will learn a lot from this exercise. PAF officers in the Qatari airforce know very well the strengths and weaknesses of the Rafaels. India doesn't know anything about jf17. Their mantra is its Chinese with pak ensign on it. So it's rubbish. I hope this continues till you get an sd10 up their Rafael as5

out of five other two are B's right?
Apparently according to the French journalist, embedded with Charles de Gaulle , even PAF Mirages held on to their *** when they had the opportunity to exercise with French naval Rafales as far back as in 2006. So don't just write off JF-17 just yet.

No air refuelling pods?
Air-refueling pods can be attached or removed as needed on any aircraft, if a mission doesn’t demand them they aren’t equipped to keep weight and drag down. The exercise is in Turkey which only operates F-16s, the air-refueling system used for those is incompatible with the JF-17 (and any other aircraft that use probe refueling), which means air-refueling won’t be part of the exercise, at least for the JFs, as Turkish tankers cannot refuel them. Hence no need to equip it.

They are removable, not permanent and are not required for air exercises since they won't be on long drawn out CAPs and long range missions requiring refueling.
