I always thought that it meant 'Bird of Prey, aka Raptors', any.

Shaheen is Falcon.
A
I thought Auqab meant Falcon or is it a Hawk?

Looking up online found this.


They are kinds of predatory birds. They all look very similar due to this many get confused.

Auqab (Eagle) are the largest among these. Bald eagle can be best example, but in Pakistan Golden eagle are common.

Baaz (golden eagle)

Cheel (kites) are very common in Punjab and sindh. They are smaller than Auqab.

Cheel(black kite)

Baaz (hawk) fall third in the category of size. Most of Arab shaikhs use baz for hunting.

Shaheens (falcons) are the smallest in the group.

Pakistan Airforce should continue to use existing Engine for next Block for the Thunder if Engine still need 2 more years.

Just release Engine with Block IV , I don't see a major issue

Block I Initial 50
Block II Next 50 with Refuel Capability + ASELAN ground Sight
Block II B Next 50 Twin Seat / Enhanced Ground Attack
Block III Next 30 AESA Enablement + Targeting Helmet (Next 1~2 Years)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Block IV Next 30 New Engine [Future]
Block II Convert 150 to Block III standard [Future]
Block III - Convert 150 to Block IV standard [MLU Upgrade Future Brand New Engine]


We should end up with 180 JF17 Block IV
What is Brand new Engine?

Shaheen = Eagle

Uqab = Hawk

Falcon = Shikra

Hawk = Cheel , Shikra belongs to this family

Falcon ( Family of birds) = Shaheen belongs to this family Normally smaller than Eagles

Eagles = Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle etc ( Bigger In size)

Uqab is a terminology used to refer to eagles and falcons both.

Don't forget baaz

Shaheen is actually an eagle

Uqab is basically a big eagle

Falcon is shikra or baaz

Kite is a cheel

Hawak is a type of falcon also known as baaz
