JF-17 Block III Fierce Dragon/Thunder

The first JF-17 Block III prototype (#3000) just returned to the CAC airfield from its maiden flight on December 15, 2019. As the latest variant of JF-17, Block III carries PAF's ambition to counter IAF's most powerful 3.5th generation fighter Rafale. The aircraft is expected to feature a more powerful engine (WS-13E? 9,000kg class), a new AESA radar developed by NETRI/14th Institute (KLJ-7A, range 170km, track 15, engage 4) or by the 607 Institute (LKF601E, air cooled), HMDS, IRST, upgraded EW suite, new datalink, full authority digital FBW and a variety of air-to-air and air-to-ground guided weapons including PL-10E IIR guided AAM as well as PL-15E active radar homing AAM (using twin launch rails). Additional hard points are installed including ones underneath the engine air intake for ECM or targeting pod. Images of the first flight indicated the JF-17 Block III prototype features a J-20 style narrow frame wide-angle holographic HUD (EHUD-2?), a slightly enlarged spine, and new forward MAWS sensors behind the engine air intakes. The rear MAWS sensors were relocated to the EW compartment on top of the vertical tail fin as well. Otherwise the overall aerodynamic configuration remains the unchanged and the aircraft is still powered by the original RD-93 engine. The latest report (February 2020) suggested that the KLJ-7A AESA radar has been chosen by PAF.

Noticed the first prototype has no gun installed so slowly additional goodies will be added /tested on the platform and it may take few years for completed system integration testing on aircraft assuming bench testing competed anyway paf will keep building base platform/aircraft and add goodies

off topic but whenever i see any president of pakistan i always think what he is doing actually? what is his job? why this poor nation needs to spend so much in maintaining a useless office and a useless person?
attending ceremonies and parades, giving medals and certificates etc. a farmer working in his fields growing food for his family and for the nation is 100 times more useful for the nation then this office. but our politicians will never agree to remove this office as through this office they get a chance to oblige someone or some party.

It's February and Modi Establishment is still licking their wounds. I wouldn't be surprised if they are frustrated to settle the score and washout stains especially since invested a lot with their friends from West & M.E. Despite being caught in surprise & being shocked with the beating by PAF; they still managed to peddle their usual propaganda to delude their masses and in the meantime been preparing for lot more than before to forge history even if they are able to take down a stone in Pakistan Territory. Stay vigilant boys.
