Is this in Turkey?

In the last pic, there is a red patch on the shoulder of the pilot, which looks like Turkish flag.

What must be noted is the versatility of the JF-17 platform. It has successfully replaced or will replace 4 dissimmilar platforms while keeping its multirole capability and a high cost to performance ratio.

Wont be anything visible except IFR. Most changes would be under the skin.

Okay I always thought it existed even in JF-17 Block 1 but okay I know other than this Block II will have better avionics and most probably different engine but what about weapons will pay load be increased what kind of bombs and Missiles would be added and some new BVR will be added too ? and will Block II would be able to fire cruise Missiles ?

Not yet

what about weapons will pay load be increased

Not until we have a powerful engine, payload depends on Thurst to weight ratio. If the engine is more powerful,it means the plane can carry more armament and fuel.

what kind of bombs and Missiles would be added and some new BVR will be added too ?

No new BVR yet. But a new 5th generation High Off Bore Sight missile will be inducted with Helmet Mounted Sight/Display.

will Block II would be able to fire cruise Missiles ?

Raad...yes.

JF-17 can be armed with up to 3,629 kg (8,000 lb) of air-to-air and air-to-ground weaponry, as well as other equipment, mounted externally on the aircraft's seven hardpoints.[19] One hardpoint is located under the fuselage between the main landing gear, two are underneath each wing and one at each wing-tip. All 7 hardpoints communicate via a MIL-STD-1760 data-bus architecture with the Stores Management System,[19] which is stated to be capable of integration with weaponry of any origin.[66] Internal armament comprises one 23 mm GSh-23-2 twin-barrel cannon mounted under the port side air intake, which can be replaced with a 30 mm GSh-30-2 twin-barrel cannon.[4][96]
The wing-tip hardpoints will normally be occupied by short range infra-red homing AAMs, while many combinations of various ordnance and equipment (including avionics such as targeting pods) can be carried on the under-wing and under-fuselage hardpoints. Underwing hardpoints can be fitted with multiple ejector racks, allowing each hardpoint to carry two 500 lb (241 kg) unguided bombs or LGBs (Mk.82 or GBU-12). It is currently unknown if multiple ejector racks can be used for other ordnance such as beyond visual range AAMs.[3] The under-fuselage and inboard under-wing hardpoints are plumbed, enabling them to carry droptanks of various sizes for extra fuel.


JF-17 on display at the Farnborough Air Show 2010 with a range of weaponry and equipment pods.
Active radar homing BVR AAMs can be deployed once integrated with the on-board radar and data-link for mid-course updates. The Chinese PL-12/SD-10 is expected to be the aircraft's primary BVR air-to-air weapon, although this may change if radars of other origin are fitted. Short range infra-red homing missiles currently integrated include the Chinese PL-5E and PL-9C, as well as the AIM-9L. The PAF is also seeking to arm the JF-17 with a modern fifth generation close-combat missile such as the IRIS-T or A-darter. These will be integrated with the HMS/D as well as the radar for targeting.[3][19]
Unguided air-to-ground weaponry includes rocket pods, gravity bombs of various sizes and the Matra Durandal anti-runway munitions. Precision-guided munitions such as LGBs and satellite-guided bombs are also compatible with the JF-17, as are other guided weapons such as anti-ship missiles and anti-radiation missiles.[19] In July 2011, it was reported that Pakistan has taken delivery of the Brazilian MAR-1 anti-radiation missile and is integrating the weapon on its JF-17 fleet.[97]
To Use that missile which you mentioned we need to integrate on board radar and data link for mid course updates have done that ?

Apparently most are hindustani negative comments...clearly the comment on Airliners.net are extremely positive about JF-17 from american and british aviation related people and enthusiasts.

Can you please elaborate sir from operational POV. This is huge if its going to replace Four different platfoms.
