First glimpse into jf-17 block 3?

[Ali_Baba]

Saudi's are interested.

No, they are not!!! Its always window shopping from the Saudi's. Their political masters wont let them do anything!

Regardless.

They have shown interest in what block 3 has to offer. Who knows when tables turn and we get a chunk of orders.

Its difficult cuz america and europe offers them much superior aircrafts and can you tell me what role it shall play if RSAF and where?

Saudi's are interested.

Saudis wud rather buy LCA than thunders. They along with UAE are going to please india to please SAM or in other words they would tow the usa line to support india against china, the only difference would be that they will be a bit discrete and selective.

India vs China line was very badly damaged in Feb as uncle Sam saw what indian airforce is capable of....

Imagine opponent was china

There was a time when Saudi's evaluated Al-Khalid. After extensive trials they went for American Abraham.

With changing geo political landscape. Lets see how Saudi's fare in this east vs west scenario.

China has some way to go...probably 5 more... there is a reason they are and were eager for Shaheen exercise with PAF. China has the financial muscle, the manpower as well but practice, scenarios and battle situations are shaping up for them and they are on sustained and a steep learning curve.

Vertical tale same as blk 2

horizontal tales slanted backwards

Cockpit similar to B but smaller, for one pilot

3 axis FBW

mid fuselage slightly broadened to mount chin hardpoints

intakes saw some modification but are still DSI

Nose slightly thickened and elongated to house ASEA with liquid cooling, and looks eliptical, like the F-16s as it moves forward.

You got all that - by an outline/cutout - and that too from a low-res image...

 

[YeBeWarned]

any chance of Myanmar getting block-3 ? as far as we know Myanmar officially received only 6 units of 4 + block 2 and 2 block. So the rest will be block-3 ? any update of Myanmar JF-17s bros ?

I really hope they do, maybe they will order block-3's in fewer numbers .

Thanks to President Trump, they now know it’s only a matter of time for “two weeks” notice to be served!!! The Last Shah of Iran was undone with such a two-weeks notice....
