There are a lot of experts here and they have spoken. I hoping to avoid this conversation, and licking balls seems to garner more of people's interest. Alas i hope more of these idiots are blocked daily.

I will clear people's concept on integration! specific to our bird.

in JF17, the architecture is dual redundant Mission Computer (They call it WMMC). Everything in the aircraft talks on MUX bus (1553B) to the mission computer. PAF owns this mission computer fully. The talk of (not being able to integrate) is naive and mis-informed.

A little tech talk from my groundia friends.

The MC (WMMC) talks to Stores Management System (SMS), also fully owned by PAF. What does that do? Any weapon protocols received on a procured weapon system can be integrated, whether serial, digital MUX, or discrete. To claim here that Chinese this or that, is biased and wrong.

Now lets talk about AAMs. Most AAMs today have radio telemetry, that guides the weapon to a particular target quadrant prior to going to active. This is often called LOAL. The protocols for SD-10 are known, as its done through KLJ7 today which is ALSO manufactured by Pakistan in KARF. Hence, doing this integration in another radar (wherever that may come from) is not rocket science, and nobody should underestimate Pakistan or PAF groundias.

JF engine overhaul and hot area looms

 

[grey boy 2]

This maybe the new "Cockpit" for JF-17 BLOCK X shown in an interview of Chinese chief engineer 杨伟, "TAKE NOTICE" a Pakistani engineer was in the picture

Compare it to the earlier version cockpit of JF-17

JF17b metal was cut in .April 2016 so it's should be built long time ago the big question is it ready for first flight next month? or early 2017

the cockpit above has new Holographic HUD nothing else new

Some of JF 17 Thunder technologies been taken & tested first on J-10

Ok thanks for the information

Not exactly true.

What pakistani engineer is doing with chinese cheif engineer in j 10b simulator?

Pakistanis regularly depute out to Chengdu to work with their Chinese counterparts. Assisting in projects at times that go beyond the JF-17.
