WS-13 engine ?

looks like it。

the pic appeared in a CAC news release（not JF-17 specific but more to do with the accelerating development of J-20 if one knows how to read between the lines）dated 31.03.2015

The picture shows the flight crew station Brigade is doing "Fierce Dragon" aircraft compass calibration tests. Unquote

but I believe its an old picture release recently (previously there were rumors of PT-06 flying with Chinese engine)

To be honest i feel a little ashamed when i see that black smoke coming out of the exhaust of our beloved thunder, it looks like a diesel engine aircraft, ya shayad ring piston honay walay hein.. Lekin thrust kafi strong hy os engine ki, just like diesel engines have more torque than the petrol ones . i hope ws13 will be better and not that smokey.

The best thing i know for KLJ-7 is that its a pure derivative of Elta series Israeli technology. The ground clutter is very low in high temp modes and gives you real time processed data of enemy aircraft. PAF has improved it with a name of KLJ-7V2 . Its probablu an E scan radar now a close relative of AESA

@gambit what is an E scan Radar??
