JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 4]

Well that can be solved with IFR. Can't they WJ?

Indeed, once the IFR probes are fitted on the JF-17, however air refulers can not be deployed for each and every mission, but the option is certainly there.

I really want to see a twin seater version... AESA,IRST,IFR n C-8O3s on this baby..among other goodies...soon!

 

[Dazzler]

i prefer to see stealth optimized block 2 before the twin seat B version. We are already seeing the C-803 on it

 

[A.Muqeet khan]

BUT NABIL dont u think we should go with c802i mean i thought it was more potent then c803 what do u say

 

[Dazzler]

it is compatible with both versions, we asked for 803s which are being tested. 803s are more potent, also having more range (255 if launched from air instead of C802's 150-80) higher speed, almost supersonic (notice the new missile intake), Many advantages.

Nabil r u sure those missiles were c-803? and abt stealth version n twin seater version?

Designation YJ-83K, these missiles originated from YJ-83 AsM, modified to be launched from air featuring slightly compact design without a booster unlike the ship version so they look a bit shorter. JFT blk 2 has a diamond shaped nose and slightly modified intakes along with other goodies. I said this earlier too. It is being tested in China.

 

[Dazzler]

just for the reference, compare JFT missile with this one....

The only question in my mind regarding JFT Blk II is Size it is still going to be the size of the current JFT or is it a little larger comparable to F-16 due to use of composites to lessen the weight.

 

[Edevelop]

They should try to increase the height.--- probably as high as the J-10.

dimensions are likely to be similar but nose maybe slightly bigger because of diamond shape, also to accommodate an AESA and this has impacted the intakes a bit too. Remaining size will be similar to current version.

Hi,
Is the undercarriage going to be the same for blk 2 or is it going to be different ? I heard somewhere here that it will change more into like the F-16. If they do so then in my opinion this plane will look even more great.

 

[Cool_Soldier]

I am waiting for 50 Birds to arrive within 7 week.They could be blk-2 or enhanced features.
