Date of induction of BLK-III = 2016? too late!

It is not late, we will catch up quickly. No, it is not too late, we will develop. No, it is not very late, most countries still using 4/4.5 generation jets til 2020.

2016 for induction sounds great!
2015 first flight, long before India receives MMRCA, long before the world's air forces phaseout even 4th gen birds.

Lol don't say that man....if G.W.Bush was reading this, he would read it as Weapons of Mass Destruction.....

Janes Defense reporting, PAC And CAC is looking to make JF-17 A Multinational Program, this means Egypt is onboard the second/third largest customer for JFT, which means a number munitions, weapons systems, missiles on a large scale will be part of it, more cash more R&D better Products.

Okay Good! Nice to her that we are getting Egypt into the equation/business.....

optional nav pod means the pod can be added as an option. WMD-7 does that role along with targeting, spot tracking etc.

I have feeling new coming squadron of JF-17 from China is based on PT-06 and is dedicated for naval role.So hopefully will be based in Karachi for naval support.

Yaar, Pt-06 is not a dedicated naval thingy, Pt-06 is a dedicated Chinese prototype, with everything Chinese in it, while Pt-04 / JF-17 is a mixture of Chinese and western stuff in it.

PT-04 has what western stuff? - i only know of the MB-ejection seat!

... ... PT-06 and is dedicated for naval role... ....

We have the info on the weapons and avionics saying the plane is multi-role. Why talk of "dedicated roles"? Aren't we getting stuck in the past?

Sir, I think both 04 and 06 belong to JF-17. Only new thing is that they are testing the anti-ship cruise missiles on it along with other payload to further study it. I believe that one of these is being used as test bed for Block-II which is just around the corner after 3rd Squadron.

Communication & data link system is western.

Nops, check the 2 antennas on the spine of Pt-06 & under the nose, they are straight up, while Pt-04 & JF-17 have something T-shaped. Pt-06 uses Chinese communication & data link system, while we are using western communication & data link system.

Plus, C-802AK has already been tested and integrated on earlier model / prototype of JF-17 / FC-1, while the current pictures are of the C-803 missile, which is bigger then the C-802AK.

Pt-06 is FC-1, all Chinese, Pt-04/JF-17 is Chinese + little bit of western stuff..

Also, JF-17 / Pt-04 has western standard MIL-STD configuration, thus its able to integrate western weapon systems as well as the ones we are making locally. But as for Pt-06 i am not sure, plus its purpose is also not sure, as we have already tested JF-17 to its limit, Chinese are well aware of that and have been part of that, thus having Pt-06/FC-1 tested thoroughly and getting weapons integration means only one this that its being tested for the Chinese forces, as for export orders the JF-17 / Pt-04 already went under test & evaluation.
