well are they here??
NO.

But as production ramps up both in China and Pakistan, the rate at which new units are inducted into service will only increase.

 

[Donatello]

Any confirmed specs for Block II???

 

[yyetttt]

Hi Mr. Jellodragon, while 2 vertical stabilizers might look aesthetically pleasing, they would serve no purpose on a small light weight fighter like the JF-17, other that severely increase its coefficient of drag. There is no need for it, and in the design phase having 2 stabilizers would have been modeled and simulated and rejected due to the above reason.

actually, sir, i saw a blueprint on google which showed 2 stabilizers so idk...china has suprised pakistan alot..

The deliveries of the Block II Thunder to Pakistan Air Force are scheduled to start from the second half of the 2012 and will continue till 2015. From 2016, JF-17 Thunder Block III will enter into production .

Pakistani Air Chief Marshall Rao Qamar Suleiman has said at the Dubai Air Show, “We offer performance comparable to U.S. and European fighters when it comes to radar, dogfight missile, range and BVR [beyond visual range] capabilities, for one third of the cost.”

The officials of the joint marketing team for the promotion and sale of the JF-17 Thunder has said that at-least five middle eastern countries has shown interest in the JF-17 Thunder and will be test flying the aircraft for in future to experience its performance first hand.

i hope JF-17 block II has twin vertical stabilizers. that would be awesome<3

PLEASE GROW UP....@ TWIN VERTICAL STABILIZERS.

I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE, BUT WHY ON JF-17 DEAR.

 

[Donatello]

Do we have any confirmed upgrades? Why don't we stop this non-sense and wait until it is confirmed?
