Have the dual missile ejector racks been integrated in Block-3? I've seen an image that was photoshopped years ago, wanted to see a full BVR loadout in B-3.

Thunder 101 Overhauled & Good as New!

To what standard? Block II or III?

Per one tv interview mb seat in k8 cost more thAn k8

I think Pac got offset for mb where survival kit, part of mb seat is locally provisioned

Well I am 2 years late but a Martin Baker ejection seats cost are not that high even 0-0 seats don't cost more than 200,000$.
I took the following excerpt from MB FAQ section:

"How much does an ejection seat cost?
This is a difficult question to answer – it’s heavily dependent on the type of seat in question as well as the total number of seats ordered, but somewhere in the £100,000 – £200,000 range is fairly accurate as a ballpark figure."

Which engine? Derivative of RD93? In standard configuration or is it emergency setting as allowed in some Russian engine at the expense of engine life?

Additional power is for ew and radar system or does it change flight charactristict of fc-1

Just to clarify to everyone else, this figure 23500 is in lbf which equates to 104.5 kN approx. For a light weight aircraft, this type of engine would require a slightly larger airframe in order to exploit its full potential. Conversely, using advanced materials, it can enable a much higher payload. How high depends on too many factors that affect the lift to drag ratio.

105KN can easily take it past 1.8 Mach. how much is the wet thrust.. if its around 70KN then this will be a beast of an engine for JF17
