COAS visited Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra.

[StormBreaker]

PAC will produce 26 Bravo in total.

Yea, but all will be Block 2 ? As per my reading and this observation, YES.

 

[Gryphon]

Finally, if a B-variant has a the Refueling Probe, does it it make it a: JF-17B (Block II)?

JF-17B flies with Block-2 avionics incl. the radar.

Yea, but all will be Block 2 ? As per my reading and this observation, YES.

JF-17B is based on Block 2, but also incorporates some features from the upcoming Block 3.


Air Commodore Rashid Habib, JF-17 deputy chief project director, told the audience at the IDEAS 18 Air Power Conference in Karachi, that the JF-17 had flown 40,000 operational hours. He added that the JF-17B would be fitted with a missionized rear cockpit for combat training and operations, a three-axis fly-by-wire kit, and a fifth-generation advanced short-range air-to-air missile.

Will they be upgraded to AESA as well ? What good use is a second cockpit without good AESA radar unless there are dedicated EW systems implemented as an EW variant

Hi,

A very senior member Irfan Baloch closed a thread about chinese radar detecting the F35---and mentioned about chinese radar being destroyed---.

Well---actually that is how you capture enemy information---you put your machine out there for the enemy to come---like a 'honey trap'---enemy destroys it---and meanwhile you try to gather the enemy signature---the chinese may have installed more than one radar sites to be destroyed in syria to capture the electronic wave pattern of the stealth aircraft---.

Nothing new strategy---being used for ages---.

Is that even real .
The same radar revealed in the pics is destroyed ? And that too at mianwali(?)?

This happened in Syria? I never heard this side of the story.

Hi,

If it had picked up some tidbits of information---the electronic signature---where would that go---?

The radar machine got destroyed---it must have been connected to a 'docking station'---which must have been connected somewhere else---.

Ohh, for a second i got scared there , thought you were referring to pakistani one. Didn’t read Syria

Lol, chinese are truely cunning people.

That’s why Mr MK is precious blessing to this forum, always opens curtains to other side of stories. May Allah bless you longer and healthier age. Always an honour to have a convo

JF-17B has an enlarged nose section to accommodate the (Block-3) AESA as an upgrade; for now its flying with KLJ-7v2.

 

[AMRAAM]

Difference in Vertical Stabilizer between the BlockI/II & the B-Variant (pretty obvious)

The other thing is that the Chinese don't have any Serial Numbers on JF-17's produced by AVIC/CATIC.

Finally, if a B-variant has a the Refueling Probe, does it it make it a: JF-17B (Block II)?

Does the green color represents the use of more composite materials?

Anyone can shed some light?

 

[Sulemanms202]

great sight! what an achievement by our institutions

Yes.

 

[princefaisal]

KLJ-7A Three Array radar should be used in JF-17B aircrafts

Fuel Cells please.

 

[AMRAAM]

Fuel Cells please.

Thanks
