First Block 2 JF-17s under construction in Pakistan

[FunkyGen]

So you agree that a trainer of Jf-17 is needed? Is there one in the cards?

Yes because the customers require it, not PAF.
JF has been said to be an easy to fly aircraft.

Anything about Hardpoints or atleast introduction of dual racks??

Source's has already confirmed several tests with Dual racks

PAF needs it or not, I can't comment on that. But requirement exists for the export customer which might not possess dual seat F-16, Mirages or F-7 PG's which PAF possess.

What F-22 pilots does, is they finish academy, trainer on Trainers, than 2-3 month F-16 flying course / simulators and finally transitioned on to F-22.

More or Less JF-17 approach is same. First it filled it with experienced pilots of F-16/Mirages/F-7 PG squadrons than new inductees would train on simulator/ dual seters

It seem secrets are out... jf 17 is not BVR capable.

I have seen video of Jf-17 firing BVR

Easy to fly or not,if Thunder is to be an aircraft that is to be the backbone of PAF,i.e, to be inducted in large numbers,rookies will have to handle it,for which they'll need a trainer. Also,a twin seater is an added advantage for combat missions.

False assumption

But as @Abingdonboy rightly pointed out F-22 will be the top end of USAF,piloted only by the top end pilots,with several hours of experience in other platforms. Thats won't be the case with PAF. A trainer version of Thunder will be needed.

It don't have to do any with top tier or low tier plane, its new kind of approach in building and training due to advancement in technology, as new simulators are good enough to train them on particular platform, already trained pilots.

WHAT? Lost ERIEYE?
since when did we lost an ERIEYE aircraft?
It was the P3C Orion that was lost in mehraan base attack.
No aircraft was demaged in Kamra attack. Infact Kamra attack was a Failed attempt and successfully fended off by security forces and no significant loss occured.
You guys are mixing mehran base incidence with kamra attack

Jaagooo mairay dost tum khoab e khargosh kay mazay lay rahay ho ...

The lost P3C has been replaced by new induction and Tragically we have lost or may be damaged beyond repairable ERIEYE. So after that attack we are not flashing our tool at the face of our enemies or thats we do usually

So block 2 can be BVRAAM, ASHM capable, which will be clear in coming years.

it already has these capabilities. It will further enhance them.

130km range(Source kanwa news interview of PAF official) and some other Adjustments

No AESA for now?

Any details about power output figures of (v)2 version?

AESA is only for Block III,which again is confirmed by PAF official.No more info about Klj-7v2

I dont understand? article clearly states that blk1 only has dumb bombs and wvr capabilities. Blk2 can add bvr and ashm capabilities, but what it will surely add is a refueling probe.

since yr new to this forum hence u have wrong assessments. U were already shown a video of JFT prototype firing BVRs. The present JFTs in PAF has two BVRs and C-802. It can carry 4 BVRs like project director Air Commodore Khalid said. But PAF prefers 2 BVRs as of now. This article may have done a mistake abt their enhancements in Block II variant.
