Likely RD series uprated.
It is a smart move, essentially making the JF closer to the block-70 F-16 in terms of generational fit.

Why are u guys taking it so personally...
Yes it does look bigger to me... may b I m wrong... do you have intimate knowledge that it's not??
If you do why are u sharing on an open forum...
I know pakis mess around things but Chinese don't take such leaks lightly...
Chill man... if u don't ask u don't learn...
My query had been answered by several posters.... with evidence which is fine with me
By the ways what's the delay in block 3??

Pardon, but the one who has to calm down especialyl since I'm the one who's asking for evidence.
I know these rumours that the B has a bigger radome, but - honstly - so far we have not enough clear images in direct comparison to an A and these "eyeballing" is IMO as reliable as measuring RCS for stealth aircraft by the same method.
Therefore and not meant as an offence: The so far single image of No. 03 is IMO too blurred and too small to decide and if you have better images or proof that it IS - not looks - wider I would be happy. Otherwise don't be angry that I'm quite reserved to wait for harder facts.

Agreed.
Looks not much has changed. Until R&D and manufacturing does not shift to civilian entrepreneurship with command, military establishment be relieved off their R/D administrative responsibilities, limiting their role to security issues only, the future remains uncertain. PAF takes pride in aeronautical projects which in principle is not their domain & just not their business. This kind of over-stepping should be discouraged and legal course should be charted out by MPs if they have any proper sense left in them.
