JF-17 Fighter Slated for Block-2 Upgrades in 2012

[Nishan_101]

nice Photoshop man but i think we will see the changes to the air frame of the fighters may be internal it will be upgraded new engine is must with 20% more thrust and in flight refueling new radar 2 more hard points and IRST system like mig35 would be Block 2 for sure block 3 would be complete new air frame may be

I wish it would have FLIR like Rafaels and IRST like on UCAVs embed ones.

I think that Block-IIs might look like this:

I think that too . this deign seems does not need to have any significant change in airframe .

JF-17 Block 2 Supposed to be enter in production 2012 but still no no news about its induction.No official confirmation and no appearance of first bird...?

I think that Block-IIs might look like this:

Is it just me.. or in this picture.. the DSI intakes don't seem balanced..

I mean the right one looks higher.. and wider then the one on the left. (Our point of view.. not pilot)

 

[Pak47]

Then again.. It is a photoshop

 

[Nishan_101]

It was supposed to be the one like on my AVATAR along with Dual seat. Possiblity of WS-13, extensive usage of composites, retractable refueling probe like Grippen, FLIR with WMD-7 pod for IRST.

This is what WE want JF-17 to be. Not necessarily same as what PAF want it to be, and they are the better judge for sure!

Some points have been confirmed as far as Blk-II modification goes and i am not of a view that there will further changes in Blk-II other then the ones already been discussed and debated. CFT is not one of them!

regards!

If you mean by mouth of any PAC/CAC official, then there were some highlights shown in presentation at Dubai air show 2011 but not much details. However knowledgeable people with some good sources have posted enough information on it you can go through JF-17 information pool for that.

Please have a go at all the posts by senior members as to why.
Use the search function as I repeatedly ask to search for terms like the JF-17 information , tactics. strategy before making posts.

Is there a pic of Jf 17 trainer?

None, the JF-17 has no two seater flying yet, all training is accomplished and is capable of being accomplished for now using the simulator as more current pilots on the JF-17 come with flying experience from F-7's or Mirages.
Only completely new inductions may need a two-seater which is slated within the next 5 years.
