JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

Well, how much of the J-7/MiG-21 are you keeping if you change the wings, stabilizers, tail, nose, front fuselage, rear fuselage, size, wiring, canopy, adding FBW (and then adding 3-axis FBW on top of it), aerodynamic qualities, etc? Anyone who's saying the JF-17 is a MiG-21/F-7 is probably referencing the original Sabre II project, but that was dropped in the late 1980s in favour of a clean-sheet design (Super-7/FC-1/JF-17).
Correct, the closest of what can be called as original Super 7 is FT-2000C. Other than that there is nothing about J-7 in JF-17 except for the No 7. If the swamis think that is an omen... let them make omelette of it with dagga.. at least they can see the omelettes fly when high.
 
It is completely j-7G - nose reconfigured and side inlets. rest of it is completely the same.

G also had two additional pylons in the fuselage at least it was shown on the model and prototype
 
Nigeria to recieve 3 more Thunders next year.
PAF didn’t go for static/flying display of Thunder at DAS2019 due to already being done at Paris earlier this year.

In my humble opinion, more orders will come. But the two sitter and the Block-III really need to make it to active service before the Thunder can bag substantial sales deals. Serious clients are going to wait for these milestones to be achieved before they decide. Until then, small orders may occur from countries whose requirements may be less demanding.
