JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

A question.

Has the Pugachev Cobra maneuver been attempted with a JF-17 or can that only be done with twin engine fighters ?

Also is the Cobra maneuver even necessary now that AAMs are so fast and maneuverable?

The video you posted shows a Draken performing it which is a single engine fighter.
Not aware if it was ever attempted in a JF-17.
Experts are of opinion it's only good for airshows as it's done at a nominal speed where as if attempted in combat speed, the pilot will likely snap his harness and smash his face on the front panel.

Any latest prototype pictures of block 3

No. The progress is slower due to covid.

Damn, where's the Sky gone. !!

 

[Saifullah]

any chance it will get a significant engine upgrade at some point? Maybe F414 tier?

Look up WS19. When it comes online and it's as good as promised, it should/would be integrated.

Solid click by Zohaib Malik, he has taken some of the great shots of JF-17A/B from ground.

What an elegant beautiful plane... i am in awe of the outcome of such a great hard effort. That proves that sky is a limit for Pakistan, i hope the rest of Pakistan will work hard, pay taxes, are honest in their dealings..
