Sir are you saying they are BLOCK IIPost 1497 by shabi clearly shows 5 JFT. If you guys remember the initial news, it was of induction of 5 JFTs . this is a pitot tube from an adjacent plane just like there is another one from the Mirage at the far end. if you look carefully at the picture you can see the IFR on the Mirage also covered with a red cover. Another thing is IFR has a valve at its end which makes it a bit bulbous at the tip unlike a pitot tube which gets finer as one gets to the tip.
Araz.
They cant be. There numbers which have now been revealed suggest that they have been withdrawn from various units. These are bl.1s but whether upgraded or not I dont knowSir are you saying they are BLOCK II
The thing covered in red on Thunder 120 looks like the inflight refueling probe. Mounting is very different from the first IFR pictures released before where the probe was connected from just behind the canopy.
@Oscar
What environment control system are they referring to here? Is it the OBOG system? I believe the previous one was French and had a capacity to supply/condition oxygen for 3 hours? Are we expecting any improvements in range/loiter time that a improved capacity OBOG is needed?
What kind of refrigerant is used for cooling system?Not just the OBOGS, the avionics on board also have requirements for cooling.

Also any idea what is used for vapor mitigation in the fuel tanks for Jf17.

I don't think Thunder has OBOGS till now..and i don't think block 2 will have it either...Its actually the need of time now...Cylinders take up space and have a lot of weight...while OBOGS takes a little space and a few pipes and ducts..thats all...What say you ?Not just the OBOGS, the avionics on board also have requirements for cooling.
Honestly the Iraqis needs can be fulfilled with the jf 17s. Don't see them going to war against their neighbors in the next two decades. The 17s can take on anything the Iranians have anyway.U.S. Won’t Ship Iraq The Weapons It Needs to Fight Al Qaeda | Foreign Policy
