A JF-17 in national colours runs in for the 2014 Pakistan Day Fly Past.




JF-17 ADV armed with four AAMS.



F-16B MLU releasing LGBs, note AMRAAM rounds on wingtips


A pair of JF-17s in fighter/ground attack and intercept configurations.

Can any 1 explain the rust underside these JF-17s near the engines?

Oil leakage. Engine thing, nothing to worry. Looks untidy. Usually when engine is overworked. RD-93 is a bit underpowered for us.

OP could explain it to us much better.

Simply! "MAGNIFICENT"

@Oscar What's with the oil leakage in JF-17? seen that too in Dubai air show

Engine design I believe with the RD-93.

@Windjammer Lets not tell people everything

Russian engine poor choice for thunder. Ideally euro or American engines would more efficient but wil add 5 million dollars to cost of each plane.

Any idea when you wil revert to non Russian engines ie which block

Russian engines have come a long away they are not that poor. Chinese engine in work maybe couple of years or more but over all PAF is satisfied to some extend with rd-93 unless russians offer a better variant of rd-93. Go to JF-17 thunder Threads.

Not on the ground
