These are not the latest JF-17, all the stuff are tested on Pt No.6. ^ And about the above post, WS-13 needs to mature, We can not rely on these stats, because they can not tell us about the quality of the engine, how quickly it's life degrade after every flight, is it maintenance friendly or not, and other factors, that's this engine needs time to get mature.
