Both facts ( albino leopards and the common sqd. name) were new to me!

I still stand by my comment on the ' Venomous than ever' slogan being incorrect English. Well, now I am clearly off-topic......

Specs ... Specs ...

What is there to expect in the new version ... and how is the engine coming along.

Lastly, what are the prospects of engine factory @ Kamra ?
Spill the beans Nabil.

sometimes i dont get somethings, like late weapon integrations when we had a specific Prototypes build in 2003-2005 which was for avionics and weapon testing platform and PT 3 WAS build for load testing but why these load tests are being done now? Why it wasnt done in on those SPB JF-17's which were inducted in 07-08 or on those which were made in Pakistan 3 years ago? Or what was the purpose of PT3 PT4 PT6 than which were build in 2003-2005 time frame why load testing wasnt done on those prototypes or on SPB?

Finally some good news after a very long silence. Does that mean more hard points or more weapons on multi rails?

I wonder why can't they put the gun inside main fuselage (above wings) one gun on each side instead of a twin barrel on the belly and use the current gun hard point for pods instead of wasting a main hard poiont for major strike weapon?

Chin hardpoint, multilauch rails tested/verified, so it upto the user to use them as per needs.

Twin barrel gun has its advantages, Gsh 23 series is rugged, accurate and reliable.

so it means block 2 is on its way

We have been using the term "Block II" very frequently on this forum, would "Batch 2" be an appropraite term to use for the second lot of 50 thunders as there are not going to be any significant changes.

Term "Block" should be used to designate the lot which has significant changes/upgrades from the previous block in terms of overall performance. my two cents.
