I was asking about the aircraft that are existing (50 JF-17 Block 1) being upgraded to block 2 progress.

I dont think Block 1s will be upgraded to Block 2. That will be costly.
It will need Replacing radars and lots of other systems.
Block 1s will be ok for other roles. as JF17 is a multirole fighter and will replace A5 F7 and Mirage 3/5.

But i am not sure about it. May be they are planning to upgrade all BLK1s

Any thing new coming in PAF?

 

[RAMPAGE]

HOBS Capability + 360° E/O targeting system + HMD + AESA + Extensive use of Composites + Full FBW system + Enclosed weapons pods + RD-93MA

That's what i'd like to see in BLK3.

 

[Djinn]

Should get some high altitude sams and surveillance equipment.Pakistan is in dire need of those.

 

[Tipu7]

with all the Upgrades you have mentioned above , where will the Jf-17 will stand compared to its rivals ??

**** the costs. As long as the capability is better than that of Gripen and cost is equal, we dont have a problem.

The confirmation of AESA proves that PAF has learned its lesson. The potential buyers of a single engine 4th Gen aircraft need something that can effectively counter other aircrafts of the same generation and that is not possible with JFT in its current configuration.

i never mentioned cost to be honest .. but anyway , i never doubt that Jf17 is not in its current situation can match any of its rivals , but what PAF had learn ?? we still lack the capability to strike deep in enemy lines , our rivals are .. M2k , Su-30mki, and in future Rafale ... you cant create your backbone with a weak Aircraft ... AESA will not transform the Plane into something out of the league . or is it ?

 

[Hell hound]

nothing can do that it is light aircraft and cant punch over it weight in its current form as it cant hold high power engine ,strong radar and ew, good rage or good load out all at the same time we need to sacrifice some of above abilities to get other abilities and we need all of these capabilities to fight a 4.5 gen fighter to to hold these all goodies we need substantial structure changes which is extremely costly and halt the production of jf 17 and we well be left with old f 7 and mirages while jf 17 is pushed back in redesign phase for next 3 to 5 years. thats why we need new platform in 4.5 gen to fight other 4.5 gen fighter while jf 17 fill numbers and keep replacing old 3 gen crafts.

Oh sorry. My bad.

With those upgrades, it'll be at par with all 4th Gen fighter aircrafts in its class.

For deep strikes, we definately need a twin engine fighter.

Apart from advancing JF17, I hope they strike new deals with China to acquire more hardware for PAF.
