Oh well, and still this tweet from late 2020 proclaimed by a Russian site is taken for granted as if already 400 are for Pakistan?? Come on, this is a typical Russian announcement that sets high hopes including a full PAF purchase and several more new foreign export customers.

I won't hold my breath for 400 Block 3 JF-17s for Pakistan.

I don't know why people are seeing things that are not there, the LG has not changed at all it is exactly as the block 2 had.
And besides do you even know what changing the LG on an operational design even mean? That means you have to redesign the whole internals of the fuselage which in turn reduces the fuel capacity of the aircraft and introduce all hosts of different problems like increasing the center of gravity of the plane, I doubt that JF-17 will be even able to takeoff if the landing gear is increased significantly as some here are suggesting.

I'm not sure where you got this idea it's meant to have side antennas for 360 degree coverage? It's not a fifth gen aircraft. Datalink with AWACS and ground based radar coverage will provide all round SA.

I'm really confused. I thought it's supposed to have an AESA radar, doesn't it? Similar / miniaturized J-10C's radar? Which means, it should have similar antennas too? Unless it would have an internal swash plate type of an arrangement?

You need to do some further reading to make yourself unconfused.

I've tried explaining this, but no one seems to understand. There's a lot of people on here who use this place as an ego boost by claiming things that are simply not true to gain the popularity of the gullible.
