JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[GumNaam]

Probably fired only 1 at a training target

don't they use those blue training ones for target practice?

Nope - the blue ones are truly inert and paperweights in a sense other than having seekers.

Any Idea why the center MFD is covered like that, it's not a dust cover. Metal plate looks like there so that to prevent use right now.

Dust cover plus protection similar to intake and engine covers nothing fancy or mysterious

A further option is the RD-33MKV (for vectoring), which has the same thrust rating, but which is fitted with a Klimov swivelling nozzle.

Yeah that is been under discussions for a twin engine bigger version of thunder bird blk 4to5 then with vectoring engines and heavier payloads it will become a thundering beast among others

i just wonder one thing... why NAF has opted PAF livery for their fighters.. NAF didn't had it's own airforce livery or China hadn't transferred us the painting capability ?

Nothing to do with paf this scheme is adoption from usaf trials on color Scheme which are difficult and
Camouflage the plane [emoji574]️ in blue or white cloud [emoji297]️ sky ie dufficilt
To pick up
By naked eye during close combat

Since then most western af adopted it and now even Russian and Chinese
