by looking at the bright side..yes Block 3 induction is delayed to 2021-22 but it will resolve engine power issue and a working air cooled AESA Radar which we will be able to produce..since we have funded it..
one thing that lots of posters are puttin spin on it was "how many engines?" PAF...
my dear friend, at the end of they Chinese companies are doing business. if they have a product ready they will market it..just like KLJ7A or LFK601 they are working prototypes ....ready for promotion and sales.
I think PAF is funding the development of KLJ7 air cooled version and (TOT) that...
you are may be correct that Current Block 3 are to be equipped with RD93 then this begs a question can RD93 provide necessary juice to power AESA (Air-cooled) and new Fly by light FCS?
Its high time @messiach could make comment?
and 2nd point if indeed pushing back 1-2 years, then current hot...
My friend, its well known that 1st flight took place and prototype was flying with normal RD93 Engine...it had the Flight control system working...what i was pointing out was delays or issues regarding engine power & electrical supply with RD93. since radar is not even ready product.
so time...

1. it has same air-frame. a bit more composites ....lighter but same
2. it has has same RD93/RD93MA (I editing this post after below article which provides details that RD93MA is not even in production)
3. It has now Fly by light
4.Newer avionics and ESM/ECM...

If hang him now..Nazi Modi on heels of great victory against PLA would do? he is on the moon these days in India..?

but my friend we are talking about JF17 Block 3 you will find block 1 and block 2 and block 2T pictures as they fly regularly - Block 3 nope/nada/zero...
I did not believe it but he said Block 3 prototype has not flown after the 1st flight. which i rubbished...but then if she was flying then Chengdu has large air enthusiast community...since 1st flight Block 3 would have been photographed...yet we not have a single picture..on net..
Mind you...
Sorry, i have heard something. i cant say its true and that is what i heard.
"block 3 project is temporarily on hold due certain issues with flight systems and engine, PAF had chosen a Radar that is not properly developed yet. air cooled version of KLJ-7A that has been delayed as well"...
for that you need to Order sign an MOU/LOI and LM will announce publicly inform congress. so Block 72 if and its a big if will be ordered will arrive in approximately 5 years...
No CHANCE!
