JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

Block-III will have structural improvements, more fuel capacity and possibly further reduced RC because of structural changes. So upgrade of all block 1s and 2s which PAF operates may not be possible.

Second, anything above number 150-200 will possibly evolve further into Block-IV. So stopping at Block-III doesn't sound right either.

Could mean MLU-type update, e.g. electronics.

 

[Blueskiez 2001]

Having an inhouse production facility probably means that PAF will continue to produce the fighter also beyond 300 - and hence numbers are irrelevant since its an ongoing proces.

are we going for 300 JF-17s or 400 ?

250 only i guesss 50 block 1 - 100 block 2 -100 block 3

150 is the current order.

modular by default.

First 50 slightly less so per my info(not concrete)

B-3 engine will characterise with new failure detection system, acute surge protection & ice/fire detectors, LP compressor speed governor, LP turbine exit temperature limiter & dual redundant power unit amongst others. Theoretically will have high stall margin under combat and noncombat external environments.

That seems to surpass the 33mk’s technical specifications, considering that thrust could be analogous to reduced engine life for many Russian engines I wonder if our reasons to keep those values same through the initial batch of engines are similar

What was the ceremony? When?

 

[messiach]

Surpass! No.
Failure detection & dual redundant power module is certainly based on series 33.
LP speed governor is mostly collaboration under ToT.
TER has major input from BUAA.

whats background of this?

 

[messiach]

B-2 engine is already carrying failure detection, surge protection detector, the TER, so technically compatible to series 33.

That seems to surpass the 33mk’s technical specifications,
