JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

I like the new camo. Nigeria?

It is not painted yet ... IMO it is this one, the second aircraft.

Dingxin base has the largest military airport in Asia, and is the PLAAF's Area 51.

How recent are the last few images showing the J-20s?

Aleksader Vulin is a Serbian minister

Is Serbian MOD evaluating JF-17?

I have no idea.

I doubt it very much; they are firmly in the EU/Russian trenches. They have a small home grown aviation industry as well - Jastreb; it is unlikely they will get anything from China.

JF-17 with twin SD-10 launcher. Too bad its a full size mock up, but if official co partner is displaying this than it could be a reality in upcoming variant.

Of note, it looks very capable of carrying 2 cm 400AKG, a centerline tank and 4-6 a2a missiles. Wonder why PAF hasnt yet inducted CM 400AKG...

IMO ... marginal added value. If anything, I think the preference would be for a supersonic cruising AShM like the CM-302 or CX-1 (to have capabilities similar to BrahMos).

Nice. It is time we see an actual JF17 with this dual rack launcher, otherwise it is just vapour ware..
