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

[syed_yusuf]

PAC is manufacturing 100% airframe parts for JF-17 Block 3 at their facility!

I remember that some parts of fuselage were being prepared in China for Block 2A and B and shipped at PAC for final assembly and testing.

Is this you are asking or stating the fact that from blk 3 entire airframe is made on Pakistan?

It is a starting statement.

PTV neither covered manufacturing process of all three parts of the fuselage nor it revealed a view inside cockpit.

Previous videos on JF-17 manufacturing facility, PAC always acknowledge that some part of fuselage was being manufactured at China and shipped to PAC for final assembly.

However, the recent PTV coverage on JF-17 Block 3, strangely no such acknowledgement was given by any concern PAC staff members. Nevertheless we did not observe all three parts of fuselage being build up on various jigs at PAC.

The last frames of the video clearly shows that the anchor climbed up and view the cockpit from inside, but the same was not made public to the PTV audience.

I suggest that PAC may hire some professional video makers (specialise in aerospace products) to visit and prepare videos of various facilities of PAC for the foreign and local customers/public.

This is not tbe first time tbe air frame has been called fully indegenous. Last year video also stated the same. There is talk of indegenous missiles( more like licence production) but even that is a great effort. Things are definitely progressing in the right direction. Interestingly Block 3 was not inaugurated today. One wonders why.

Delay in official induction in PAF

Where is JF -17 Block - 3.

One induction at a time. So that J-10C has its own limelight and so for the Block-III. Just like that other side sees it coming and see it good.

Delay in official induction in PAF

Why do think there is a delay

 

[PanzerKiel]

Delay is there due to additional stores which have been tested on the aircraft. Presently, taxiing tests are being conducted.

Can we expect a show on 23rd March ?

By additional stores do you mean number of hardpoints increased on the aircraft from 8, or the testing of dual ejector racks for AAMs?

Ra'ad integration testing for displaying ??? ( just a random guess..)
