[Imran Khan]

Yes BLOCK II INSHALLAH if not fully it will be still really close to 4.5 Generation Fighter Jets

why don't they done same in air shows ? always they lay down weapons on eath go doamn i wanna see now every air show 09-109 style jft join the show

 

[Donatello]

Now that's what we are talking about.

Two Anti-ship missiles, two BVRs and two WVRs missiles.

SD-10 seems to be in blue paint, i believe it shows this is the integration and testing version.

Also, the spacing between SD-10 and the wingtip missiles means, another hard point can be added.

9 hardpoints would make JF-17 LETHAL, by freeing up space to carry additional items like EW/Targeting pods.

Well it would be interesting to see what discussion is going on Indian Defence forums on 50 JF-17 and also start of BLOCK II production mostly it would be crap and a state of denial or will be trying to undermine the capabilities still they are always interesting and sometimes pathetically funny @Aeronaut @Imran Khan

PAC Kamra Rolls Out 50th Production JF-17 Thunder

December 18th, 2013

The 50th JF-17 Thunder, 13-150, at the official roll-out ceremony today at PAC Kamra. PAF

ROLL-OUT OF the 50th Block 1 JF-17 was celebrated today by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) at Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra. Although the audience included Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and PAF’s top brass, headed by the PAF Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Tahir Rafique Butt, it was the aircraft, serial number 13-150, that took centre-stage. During the event, the PAF also took the chance to announce the start of production of the next batch of 50 Block 2 JF-17s.

There is a PAF requirement for 150-200 JF-17s before the end of the decade, which will replace all the Chengdu F-7Ps and Dassault Mirage III/Vs serving nine PAF squadrons. There has been a stepping stone approach to production, with more capabilities being built into each batch of 50 aircraft. Block 1 JF-17s were the basic version, armed with PL-5s and Mk 82/83/84 bombs. Among the improved Block 2 aircraft capabilities are the Chinese C-802 anti-shipping missile, SD-10 BVR missiles and an air-to-air refuelling system.

The JF-17 Thunder is a joint Pak-Sino project and one of Pakistan’s national projects. Four prototypes were built in China, as were eight Serial Batch Production (SBP) aircraft. The first aircraft flew in Pakistan from Kamra in March 2007 to celebrate Armed Forces Day, with production at the PAC’s Aircraft Manufacturing Factory commencing in June 2009, leading to the first aircraft leaving the production line in November 2009.

PAC Kamra, together with CATIC (China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation), are now marketing the aircraft to potential export customers. According to one official, “Qatar, Sri Lanka, Turkey and the UAE have shown keen interest” although what level of interest that is, remains uncertain. Sri Lanka, with its ageing fleet of F-7BS, MiG-27s and Kfirs is likely to be the first to purchase an aircraft that can provide good value, with bags of potential. AFD-Alan Warnes

At the other end of the scale, seen here is the first series production JF-17, 07-101, which was built in China, taxiing out at PAC Kamra on March 23, 2007, to take part in the Armed Forces Day Parade over Islamabad. The aircraft is emblazoned in China and Pakistan’s national colours. AFD-Alan Warnes

Following manufacture of initial production aircraft in China, PAC Kamra began producing the JF-17 locally, the first example being 09-111 seen here, which left the AMF production line in November 2009. AFD-Alan Warnes

Hi, I think the JF-17 refueling probe might have its origins from South Africa. Kindly please look at the refueling probe on the Cheetah C, and notice the similarities. In addition, the PAF mirages have the earlier style Cheetah refueling probes, and the PAF got them as kits from South Africa.

KAMRA, PAKISTAN — Pakistan on Wednesday launched production of a new version of a combat aircraft featuring upgraded avionics and weapons system.
The plane, to be called Block-II JF-17, will be manufactured at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex west of Islamabad, which has so far produced 50 older-model Block-I JF-17s for the air force.
The complex on Wednesday formally handed over the 50th indigeneously produced Block-I JF-17 Thunder aircraft to the air force at a ceremony presided over by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The JF-17 Thunder has been co-developed and co-produced with the China National Aero-technology Import and Export Corporation.
“The indigenous manufacturing of JF-17s will not only lead to self-reliance and industrialization but will also further strengthen Pakistan’s friendship with China,” Sharif told the ceremony.
“The first Block-II JF-17 will be ready by June next year,” chief project director Air Vice Marshal Javaid Ahmad told AFP.
The Block-II will have improved versions of avionics sub-systems, air-to-air refueling capability, additional weapons carriage capability and some extra operational capabilities.
Ahmad said several countries in Central Asia, South America and Africa had shown interest in buying the new plane.
The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, which overhauls and rebuilds the air force’s whole range of combat aircraft, has the capacity to roll out 16-25 aircraft per year.

No IRST?

What avionics have been updated?

 

[A little dragon]

I want to know how did the JF-17 exactly.

 

[AUz]

Two new hard points, an AESA radar, improved avionics, and a better engine...If all of it got incorporated into JF-17 Thunders, then..................uhh how epic would that be?

No IRST?

Specifications of JF-17 Block II are unknown as of yet.

Expect improvements in avionics, IFR probe (which is already there), and increased pay load, too
