[Last Hope]

krash do you have the software to get the snaps of the videos? as there were roughly 7-8 presentation slides in this video that can be used for the info pool thread-- thanks!

ANTIBODY, use the Print screen option. Thats what we all use.

I wonder why joystick in the middle of this JF-17 cockpit? I would prefer F-16s joystick on the comfort right hand. I think, middle joystick is difficult handling.

Here you go ANTIBODY. Adding all these to what Tempest uploaded will give you the complete set.

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

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

China does not have the habit of overpromising and underdelivering.

Thus this tentative 2016 projection is a very conservative date.

This could be most likely the delivering date of J-2X.

Hi, kindly please also note in the slides displayed by Mr Tempest, that the air to air mission of the JF-17 includes dual rack BVR stations. So it is true the JF-17 can carry dual rack BVRs in the innermost wing stations.

Hi Mr. RaptorRX707, the F-16 pilot seat is angled quite a bit, and the pilot is quasi-lying down. In addition, in order to take advantage of the bubble canopy view, there is a need to have a sidestick. This might not be the case for the JF-17 pilot seat.

ANG, the bottom half of the presentation is A2G configuration. So the dual rack are for 250kg bombs. In the presentation he then mentions “1000km” for the range in that configuration so I added that.
However if you consider that the SD-10 weight is under 200kg, then using dual racks for SD-10 is minimal effort and is a matter of time.

PAF to develop / raise third JF-17 fighter squadron

17 November 2011



The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) may develop a third squadron for the indigenously produced JF-17 Thunder aircraft by early next year.

The air force has already equipped the 26 Squadron and the 16 Squadron with the aircraft.

The PAC JF-17 Thunder is a lightweight, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft primarily developed to meet PAF requirements.

The aircraft was jointly developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAC) of China, the PAF and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC).

The PAF intends to equip the aircraft with air-to-air refuelling capability to boost its range, according to Press Trust of India.

That is most likely to be 7th or 8th Squadron as they are equipped with old Mirage IIIs.
