So we have total of 88 JF-17 Block 1 n 2 + 5 B version=93

 

[Dr. Abdul Basit]

JFT B, Dual Seater looks fat, just like F7 Dual seater (no comparing both at all, as both are entirely different machines), i hope and wish that the looks of third block is more compact and good on eye for example looking at the evolution of F-16 Blockwise (although the era of the later spans more than 30 years as compared to the former),

 

[Dazzler]

Since when we start to have dual rack at wingtip position?

Nevermind, the wingtip mount is just a standard universal one that can house both SRAAM and MRAAM.

Hard to say as there are mixed inputs coming e.g. some say jf17b is basis for mk3 series; if so then it makes sense to have almost same assembly line. 17b looks very similar to Mirage 2k trainer if you check it out.

Clearly "fat" and "compact" are very astutely described requirements key to aircraft performance in combat.

Guess its fat free fuel for the Jf-17 from now on- low cholesterol since that gets the engine smoking.

The B may or may not be the basis for the mk-3 as any structural changes may not translate in this ezact manner.

Whether or not the raised spine is retained for fuel or additional avionics is moot, since any added weight will require additional thrust to compensate and I am not sure how much more can be dragged out of the Rd-93 @messiach

Sure, but the referred picture surely have something more than just a launch rail and its something new.
I tend to believe that's an integrated ECM.
I'm also surprised that it didn't attract the attention, it deserved!

I echo all your above comments

I expect to read more from the team, in coming days.

Thats a JL-9 trainer, not the jf-17

I thinks it's a electronic warfare pod which has also a missile railing launcher, View attachment 407650 built in for air to air missile. Seen it first time. Comment appreciated with which type of pod is it.

Hmm, interesting, i posted the pic but didnt notice the wingtip as i was too busy looking at the ammo loader

Yes, the wingtip is quit "fat" and almost seems to have another inner layer rail of some sort? The usual wingtip is quite slim, much like the one in the f-16.

very interesting!

here is something similar, and interesting...

..

it is the wingtip of CP-140 Aurora. The wingtip ecm/ rwr caps can be clearly seen. Look below..

Not suggesting that the jf-17 housing contains the same, but could be something similar?

RD-93 Import cost is $ 4.1 million in 2015-16
View attachment 402076


might be because of political risks associated with EJ-200 were more than Rd-93 engine.

The 4 heli for SAR are under paf items list like awacs and Rd-93, looks like aw-139 for SAR are for paf sar sqn replacing some of old French Alouette III
