So, you mean that Block-III will not going to incorporate technology from JF-17B?

you are answering a question with a question.

I asked you about your statement: "Moreover, the JF-17B is somehow considered to be a Block-III and it's single seat version will be the Block-III for PAF and for future export customers."

To explain further, I want to know how do you know that JF-17B's single seat version will be JF-17 Block III? How can your question "So, you mean that Block-III will not going to incorporate technology from JF-17B?" be an answer to my question?

Now that I have explained what I meant, could you please do the same and let us know how can you say that JF-17B's single seat version is Block III? Is there any evidence or is it only an opinion? If there is some evidence, please share the same here. If it is an opinion, please describe the rationale. Thanks.

If I play the devil Advocate, Sohail aman in his recent interview did say, most of the tech and subsystems in block-3 is already being used in Block-II and I.

So B Version tech i.e Full FBW and increase in length and wingspan to accommodate more hardpoints will be feature of Block-III

Block 3 is expected to have AESA where as the jf17b doesnt have one yet. I dont see any indication of changing the engine or increase in hard points on block 3 ( or any future block) - except one for targetting pods.

Sir, I have heard this over a new on Youtube that JF-17B incorporates technologies which will be in Block-III but some news also suggest that there's possibility of JF-17B becoming the Block-III.

Pakistan would be foolish not to go for RD-93MA. It will bring qualitative edge the BLK III and solve the ugly smoke issue.

The smoke is an issue only for fanboys like you. Not a significant consideration in multi billion dollar projects.

There are other aspects of the JF-17 that will improve with a RD-93MA. The smoke is an eye sore and ruins the credibility of the JF-17 in international air shows. It’s 2018. A bit too late to have diesel trucks in the air. Not a fan boy, by any means. The JF-17 has no meaning from where I am standing. Just a friendly 2 cent

Thanks for your response.

I was trying to make a point that in order to make strong statements, one needs strong references. Youtube videos are not necessarily strong references. They are perhaps the opposite, unless from official channels.
