We know that JF-17 with RD-93 is under powered and this effect will be more high lighted if as per reports the both payload and fuel storage is increased in BLK-3. Weight of additional equipments can be countered with use of composites. So one can say that there is need of another engine with more thrust.
1. As per info available we bought 150. We have produced 50 BLK-1s, 59 BLK-2s, 12(afaik) for Mayanmar, 3 for Nigeria, 8 Bs, 6 prototypes, 1(confirmed)+1(alleged) BLK-3 prototypes. This equals to 140 aircrafts meaning we have only 10 RD-93s left.
2. As per reports we will be having 4 Bs and 2 BLK-3s in 2020.
3. As per reports WS-10 is now in serial production and is being installed on J-10s. Also Chinese reports say that WS-13 is ready to be mass produced.
4. WS-13 is almost same in size with RD-93. It is enhanced RE version of RD-93.
5. There is no info available in public whether Pakistan has placed order for more RD-93s or not.
Your comments.
Hi,
You are just repeating what many other are saying---without having any clue about the power out put of RD93 and the utility of available power.
Tactically---What do you know about it being under powered---?
Do you have a comparative graph of available output time factor to max power and the power curve---that you are basing your information on---.
