Recently, major news came from the "Jiaolong" fighter! On December 28th, the first flight of the Jade Dragon block3 (JF-17) prototype was successfully launched, which immediately aroused the attention of domestic military fans, because it meant that the performance of this light fighter had taken it to a whole new level. From the large slogan hanging at the test flight station, it can be clearly seen that its content is "JF-17 Block3 01 aircraft first flight activity", which also shows that the long-rumored Nine Dragon block3 finally got the official hammer. So, what improvements have been made to the first blockbuster of the Dragon Dragon 3?
From the perspective of the exposed local body, Nine Dragons block3 has a high probability to maintain the original aerodynamic layout, but only modified local details. In addition, the cockpit head-up display is upgraded to a new wide-angle diffractive head-up display, which is significantly larger than the original conventional head-up display, and is equipped with a HUD similar to the J-20, which further strengthens the pilot's information processing capabilities and is more advanced than the J-20. . According to news, in later models, the Pilot Block3 pilots will also be equipped with HMD helmets to achieve "look and fight." Secondly, the first flight of the Dragon Dragon Block 3 was suspected of adding a missile approach warning system near the air intake of the fuselage, which could significantly improve the fighter's warning ability against incoming missiles.
In fact, rumors about the Dragon 3 Block3 have been circulating for a long time. It is reported that Cheng Fei applied many new achievements to the Dragon 3 Block3 version, which made the Pakistani Air Force Commander very surprised. In addition to the new wide-angle diffractive head-up display and missile approach warning system mentioned above, the Nine Dragons Block3 also uses a large number of composite materials, which means that it can carry more fuel or weapons without changing the power system. Not only that, Nine Dragons Block3 will also be retrofitted with KLJ-7A airborne three-sided array active phased array radar, with a maximum detection range of more than 200 kilometers, capable of detecting more than 20 air targets at the same time, and possibly equipped with PL-15 long range Air-to-air missiles and PL-10 short-range combat missiles have significantly improved combat capabilities.
Some analysts pointed out that because the main opponent of the Dragon Dragon Block3 was gusts, this upgrade is aimed at gusts. Despite being a third-generation light fighter, the Nine Dragons Block3, with its active phased array radar and advanced air-to-air missiles, can effectively suppress the Indian LCA "brilliant" fighter, and can compete with India's newly introduced French "Rafale" fighter. In contrast, the legal “Gust” introduced by India is equipped with an RBE-2AA active phased array radar with a maximum detection range of only 110 kilometers, while the KLJ-7A active phased array radar retrofitted by Nine Dragons Block3. The maximum detection distance has exceeded 200 kilometers. In addition, the PL-15 long-range air-to-air missile that the Dragon 3 may replace in the future, both in terms of range and combat performance, far exceed the "Mika" medium-range air-to-air missile currently used by Rafale. It is foreseeable that under the continuous improvement of the "Jiaolong" fighter aircraft, it will become the backbone of the Pakistan Air Force with its powerful combat capabilities.
