JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 6]

[Muhammad Omar]

oh damn I thought the big thing about blk 2 was its IFRP now after the first 29 examples we'll see the main improvement In the 30th jet truly astonishing

What what what WHAT???

First they said, JF-17 Block-2 will have AESA and its nose cone will be like that of the F-35, even posting several photos from Chengdu factory.
Then they said it will only have AESA Radar.
Then they again brought down the specifications and said it will only have Air-Air Refueling Probe.
Then PAC shocked us with a horrible latrine pipe looking refueling stick.
Then now THERE IS NO REFUELING PROBE AT ALL!!! What the hell is going on?
The morons who spread these type of false rumours should be black tagged in this forum as Habitual Liars!!! I don't believe this nonsense!!! Nothing is going well!! The Plane still carries only 2 SD-10 missiles, production is way behind schedule, it has no HMS(let alone HMDS) and it smokes like a cuban cigar. WTH!!!! This is a nightmare. And how can I believe it will have the ugly looking refueling probe from production 29 plane? PAC and the rumour mongering fanboys here have lost all credibility. I ardently argued the plane will have a refueling probe in the Block 2, now i cant even go online in the nigerian forum again!! They would kill me. This is a disaster!!

Lets take a look over here guys.
JF-17 Wingtip got red cover / lid on.
Any part of an aircraft is not covered under normal circumstances unless it has some sort of sensitive instrument or sensor and surely we have not seen anything like that in BLK-1.
So we might be seeing a new type of sensor equipped wingtip rail on JFT BLK-2.

PT-06

Doesn't look PT-06 to me rather that the newly produced JFT in China that was surfaced a few months ago.
PT-06 got large CATIC mark on its tail and got PAF style camouflage while this bird in all grey.

I've gone through a Chinese forum and translated it. it states something like a new engines is being tested.
Infact the engine nozzle does look different unlike normal blackish RD-93s. Its more looks like a bronze color.

2015 domestic engine Xiaolong latest exposure ~~ turn black to white! ~! (1/1)

You may be right but the bases of my assumption are

- Both JF-17 Block-1 & Block-2 have different antenna at spine then PT-06

blk-1

Blk-2

closeup of VFH antenna in use in Blk-1 & Blk-2

so on the basis of these pics it is establish that the under discussion pic is different then blk-1 & blk-2 so it must be from one of the Prototype jets now if its PT then which PT it is ... ?? either PT-04 or PT-06 for this have a look at PT-04 first

- Now Observe the antenna at the spine of PT-06 and match with the very first pic of the post
