normal drill with a jig to keep the wholes at a consistent angle.

I like the drill the kid is using at 57 secs mark. Also funny to see how things have changed for the once mighty USSR. Their Mig-35 is using US made equipment, like the Sentek and Thermotron vibration testing machines, Zwick Roell's materials and fatigue testing machines, or Weiss Technik low temperature chambers.

Does anyone have any photo editing software who can Read the serial behind the blue truck ?

By looking at photos we get,
602
2P-60
?
?
?
?
?
?
2P-67B
2P-68B
2P-69B
?
2P-71B
It's either 2P-70B or anyother from this series.
By looking at these numbers i suspect that number of jets is more than what is known.

sir they reduced these hinges i think from 6 to three .

Flushed , butt and concealed hinges types choices

How old are these picture , weeks, a month or months ?8 dual seaters were target for 2019 plus two came from China ?? So total 10 dual seaters and 12 single seater were added to block 2 order ?? So 2p-062 + 10 equals 072

One of the dual seater was
Orders by China ie catic and not paf so between 601/2/3 one will remain in China

 

[Gripen9]

Except for those 3 hinges on the cockpit canopy.. but ugly.. talk about poor engineering!!

btw, who is the bloke in the Tan jacket?

[StormBreaker]

A spring of JF-17s.

Just the right word

Even though impossible, i dream to see this whole fleet of 120 or whatsoever the exact numbers are together in sky at one go.

Just imagine !!

My best guess:

601 to 604 (2P-63B to 2P-66B probably assigned but not noted?)
2 assembled in China, two of these are former prototypes 01 (17-601) and 03 (19-602)
2 assembled in Pakistan but at least one also seen in China (19-604)
Note: prototype 02 is still in China with CAC

2P-67B to 2P-70B > 2019 production? likely to become 19-605 to 19-608
then 8 a/c were manufactured under contract as reported before
Note: 2P-68 is marked "4th aircraft" (and my guess is that this will be 19-606, first 2 in China, then 4th in Pakistan, would make #6)

2P-71B to 2P-84B > 2020 production? likely to become 20-609 to 20-622
then 14 a/c would be manufactured in 2020 as reported before
Note: unless export customers require more manufacturing for those orders

2P-85B to 2P-88B > 2021 production? likely to become 21-623 to 21-626
then last 4 a/c would be manufactured in 2021 as reported before, totalling 26 dual seat aircraft
Note: unless export customers require more manufacturing for those orders

So which parts on jf are composite, Radome is known others?

I think it may be like f-16 moving surfaces etc ?

I think Block 3 will not have AESA radar, block 1 will be retrofitted with AESA in next 2-3 years from now when it gets MLU.

It's a work table, it's all right there, they even have mat on the table. i just hope no nails are sticking out.
Only issue is the kind of works they are doing is a machine job not meant to be carried out on tables.

@ 16:08 watch how manufacturers drill holes in Euro Fighter wing!
now stfu

Hi,

At the end of the day---these riveted---hand drilled or machine drilled---they won't make a difference---. It is going to be your radar---you BVR missiles---the point of launch and your ew package that would make the difference---.

The JF17 procedure is way above the manufacturing threshold---it may look crude---but it is very functional---.

btw 19-602 just had refuelling probe fitted in Sep/Oct 2019 is at PAC not CAC

19-604 is in grey camo so 2P-68 would mean 8th overall and 2P-72 is last for 2019 as per 8 unit order as we have seen already 2P-71

17-601
19-602
19-603
19-604

and now

2P-65
2P-66
2P-67
2P-68 marked 4th
2P-69
2P-70
2P-71
2P-72

so infact we have 12 units not 8 of JF17B Block II since 2P donates Block II not Block III, so this is not AESA
