Doesn't "dedicated" contradict "multi-role"?

But the rear seat will have an additional 4th display to display the same info as the HUD and give the rear seater the front view of the plane

Pixel counting: 146.95 pixels for the 14700mm length if the fighter. The bombs are 38.99 pixels long and 5.82 pixels wide. this will give approximately 32217mm long and 582mm dia bombs.

@Arsalan, I am still around - just family demands mean I have less time to contribute. My thinking is the target is marked/painted on the ground like this - more or less. I also view the situation as follows:

I somehow think the yellow marker we are looking at is not the intended target Are those 2,000 lb things?

Not a coincidence at all. In fact/of course, the PAF contacted me and asked for permission. :smokin::smokin:

JF-17B data

Looks like JF-17 data had been out since mid-2013 nut will "missed" it:

Exactly my thinking too

I thought the RD-93MA was/is the RD-33 performance level?

Well noted. I would still like to know the weight and volumetric difference between the retractable and the fixed.

There are some hydraulics in there to extend and retract that probe. 500 lbs weight for the system on the CH-47 chopper. Will see if I can find data on a fixed system or comparison

Engineering in any field (chemical, medical, automotive, etc) is a compromise. It is a trade-off advantages and dis-advantages (technical risk/complexity, availability, reliability, costs, weight, etc.) of each solution, then settling for the optimum.

Smokewinders too. First time to see them in the JF! Thanks Windy!

Did we have the KG-600 jammer displayed with the FC-1 last year?

My view is: 1. PAF is busy working on the next blocks and even some fixes on the current and past blocks. Lots of engineering time and costs. 2. 6000 hrs life, for a jet flying 200 hrs per year is 30 years' life. From a money point of view, the PAF might see it better that the buy cheap...
