very interesting..meaning T/W ratio...B3 is heavier and twin seat is balanced...hmm..does not make sense? engine is RD93 or souped up RD93

B3 has AESA so better in BVR but WVR Bravo is better then B3? am i missing something?

If so, why not upgrade B variant to BLK III?

that is what bamboozled me as well. it must be weight issue

 

[LKJ86]

it must be weight issue

Impossible

If JF-17B performs better than BLK III in WVR, BLK III should be given up.

This means that Bravo is not what we thought ie : Does not incorporate Block 3 radar.

However, we can’t say that for sure. Maybe the pilot was implying the usefulness of co pilot to act as weapon officer while the pilot focuses on controlling the plane and getting the enemy fighter on angle.

If i were a pilot, i would myself wouldn’t want such sort of flight in which I don’t control EVERYTHING.

Looks like an EW pod

Yeah that's two different things there,I think its some kind of pod.

Well a pilot doesn't control everything,even in a single seater.

At this stage it is stuff coming through not people. You can wear gloves and masks while unloading but the rest should be fine. Unless significant number of people get affected at CATIC nothin more need be done.

Your interpretation is in the wrong direction
WVR two sets of eyes are always better, one focussed on flying the other on fighting

Looks like drop tank on center-line
