JF-17 Block-3 Induction Imminent

Pakistan Welcomes JF-17 Block III Fighter Jets in ‘Small-Scale’ Ceremony [12th March 2023]​

China is taking its arms trade relationship with Pakistan to another level as reports began circulating on social media about the latter’s plans to induct another, more advanced Chinese fighter jet into its Air Force.

Earlier this month, some news reports suggested that the most notable air squadron—PAF 16 Squadron—of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), nicknamed “Black Panthers,” had recently received the first batch of China’s state-of-the-art JF-17 Block III aircraft.

An anonymous Pakistani defense journalist confirmed to EurAsian Times that these highly upgraded fighters had been delivered and commissioned into the PAF Black Panthers, with 12 aircraft being welcomed in a low-key ceremony.



This is yet another significant arms transaction between two regional partners collaborating on economic development and militarization in recent years, with the same goal of counterbalancing the Indian-Western alliance in the region.

Islamabad made similar headlines less than a year ago when its Air Force received another advanced Chinese fighter jet, the J-10C (NATO reporting name “Firebird”)—a 4+ generation, medium-weight, single-engine, multirole combat aircraft equipped with fly-by-wire flight controls and is recognized as a more potent fighter than the newly commissioned JF-17s.

The avionics suite makes the JF-17 an effective weapon platform. The glass cockpit and hands on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls reduce pilot workload. Accurate navigation and weapon aiming information on the head up display helps the pilot achieve his mission effectively.

The multifunction displays provide information on engine, fuel, hydraulics, electrical, flight control and environmental control system on a need-to-know basis along with basic flight and tactical
information.

The capability has been built around highly modern state-of-the-art avionics equipment that can undertake high-tech aerial warfare in an all-weather operations, detecting/tracking/locating by AESA Radar in complicated ECM environment ensuring improved Short-Range Air-to-Air and Beyond Visual Range multi-target attack capability. The salient avionics equipment is as follows:


  • Dual redundant mission computers
  • Dual redundant 1553 Mux bus architecture
  • AESA Radar capable of tracking multiple targets with prioritized firing
  • In-built self-protection jamming
  • Internal and external SPJ suites
  • Ring laser gyro inertial navigation system tied with GPS
  • Smart head up display with up front control panel and 28 Degrees FoV
  • Color video recording camera and video recorder
  • HOTAS
  • Three smart multi-function color displays
  • Helmet Mounted Display
  • Radar Altimeter
  • Combined Interrogator/Transponder
  • Live Virtual Construct (LVC)
  • Tactical Data Link
  • VHF / UHF Communication System

I would request not to give personal comments.

A better choice of words would be appreciated.

Agree to disagree is a basic virtue which seems to be absent.

The abilities or lack of 'em are clearly visible .
Let readers identify them. Thanks again.
