JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

Yes PAF regularly shares it with all its opponents, just like GOP shares its list of nuclear sies

Have any results been made public of training exercises involving the JF-17? How well does it put up a fight against other aircraft?

Actually they do - but generally production facilities and other items. Whether Bhuj AFB has a launch & storage facility for Missiles or whether there is anything south of Mangla or not isnt shared but osint is much easier these days.

Only braggart nations constantly wanting recognition want to share exercise results publicly(guess who) - but normally closed doors talks do occur when trying to sell a product.

I was being sarcastic for the first part, the second part is true and a well-known fact.

Argentina wishes to procure 10x JF-17C and 2x JF-17D Block III aircraft from China and Pakistan.
Argentina’s plans to acquire the Sino-Pakistani JF-17 fighter is progressing smoothly, as Argentina’s Ambassador to China met officials from CATIC this month to formulate a “comprehensive defense strategy

Please share the source.

Why sarcastic though? What's the harm in just sharing a simple statement on how it performed against another aircraft? Like X aircraft defeated X aircraft in BVR/WVR. We are buying J-10Cs supposedly which China has released exercise data too.

As @Deino would say - there is no JF17"D" Block III ... ony JF17B's - so are the Argentinans looking to pay for the development of a new version of the Dual-Seater?

When the deal happens, RIP Argentinian cattle.

Ahh .. depends on if the Block 3 are indeed called JF-17C, then it would make sense.

because you guard your weaknesses and hide your strengths

Exercises aren't held for public boasting and not everything is black and white. Even the losing side learns and gain more knowledge to improve. In professional world, the possibility of sharing such data for public cheering, doesn't exist at all.

No data is shared except for some news that it performed well. Only people who flew or checked can understand as how it performs. Performance parameters and true capability is never shared.

Again what the f is jf17C and jf17 D?

in the same way, other nations designate their fighters it would make sense: J-10A, B, C ... and so the standard Block 1 & 2 JF-17s could be called JF-17A, B is the twin seater and the modernised single seater then would be the C and its trainer the D.

Actually I don't know if this is that way, but at least it would make sense.

Could be but here people are making things up on pdf...

Its block 1, 2, 3.
I have objection to A B C D but its not A B C D

A few years ago when Block-II had shown up, we learned that Block-I will be upgraded to Block-II standard and the Block-II will be PAF's baseline model of JF-17.

If this is true, then:

Block II = JF-17A
Block-II twin-seat = JF-17B
Block-III = JF-17C
Block-III twin-seat = JF-17D

F-16s too uses A/B/C/D/E nomenclature.
