can any of you guys tell me how many of jf17 has been inducted

 

[Deino]

it carries total 4 SD10 and 2 PL5 .... Which means it contain multi rack pylon

No, surely not. We were discussing if it can carry on one pylon the J-10's dual-PL-12-launch rail so in essence it would be able to carry 6 or at least 8 PL-12.

To show a model carrying one PL-12 on each pylon does not really proves it can carry a multi-rack pylon.

Finally managed to do the exercise I have been meaning to do and I am surprised with the answer I have. There is more space on the JF-17 for the twin SD-10s than on the J-10. There is about 2m on the J-10 and about 2.5m on the JF-17/FC-1. I.e. If they fit on the J-10, they should fit on the FC-1.

I am a bit surprised. Maybe I made a mistake. It is late, so I welcome those who can double check to comment. ... ... Yes I have not included the radius of the EFT!!

AAD 2016: Nigerian JF-17 deal close to finalisation

Jeremy Binnie, Pretoria - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

15 September 2016

Nigeria has signed a memorandum of understanding covering the sale of the joint Pakistani-Chinese PAC/CAC JF-17 Thunder multirole fighter and a contract is expected to be finalised by November, a senior official from the Pakistan's Defence Export Promotion Organization (DEPO) told IHS Jane's during the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) show held in South Africa from 14-18 September.

The official declined to say how many JF-17s Nigeria would order, but said the announcement was expected during the IDEAS show that will be held in Karachi in November.

He also declined to confirm that Nigeria will be the first export operator of the JF-17 as Myanmar has ordered the aircraft from China.

Nigeria's intention to acquire the fighter was revealed in the federal budget document that was released in January, which included NGN5 billion (USD25 million) for three JF-17s as well NGN2.06 billion for 10 PAC Super Mushshak basic trainers.

The DEPO official said that discussions were still continuing with both the Nigerian Air Force and the army's new aviation wing regarding the acquisition of the Super Mushshak trainers.

I do not deny that these twin-rails exist, I only question if it is possible to use them since IMO the pylons are simply too close and all images presented showing them on a JF-17 are either a CG or showing only the standard single rail.

Bro i hope you saw the below video and see the new multi rack pylons being used by JF-17s in which the issue of distance has been addressed. If such pylons can be used for bombs then no issue in getting them for the SD-10s.

Thanks for posting and indeed, I had a similar thought. However on this double-rack, one bomb is facing down, while the other one to the side. On the typical PL-12-twin-launcher both face to the sides and therefore I really have my doubts that it is possible.

Well in pics posted before this video came out we saw the multi rack pylon on JF-17 being tested having shape just like how those PL-12s are loaded, below pic will give you an idea what i am trying to say, but when this video came out we saw this newer shaped pylon which i believe we have not even seen in Chinese service till date, which will suggest that this was designed by keeping in mind the distance issue as pointed out by you. May be the J-10 kind of multi pylon had some issues on JF-17 thus they designed these new shaped multi rack pylons to resolve the matter. So if same pylon is used for SD-10s they will resolve the distance issue from the pylon where drop tanks are situated and also enable to carry 2 SD-10s on a single hard point.
