U want to say Block 3 would be like another Teja?? According to some sources Block 3 initial production will be without AESA radar... No extra hard point no structural change then why they taking so long time???

 

[Haris Ali2140]

I think on of the reason may be that the Chinese are no more committed to the JF-17 jet.

Not sure but i think block 3 delay is due to fund problem from pak side, Chinese are very cunning people they will never go ahead without pak share like CPEC...

Not sure if this is 601/603 or block 3, wider intake hard to tell and recognisable compared to older jf like f-16 hard to tell ??

Six aam is current max of underwing drop tanks are replaced by aam

Dual launcher looks like take space and usually supersonics tanks on inner pylon ??

None of the B model blk 3s are painted yet. The painted ones came from CAC.

Even when Block 3 is inducted, true specs and capabilities will not be released. Releasing your true fighting capabilities means an invitation to the enemy to counter them rendering your weapons useless. The whole espionage game came in to being for this purpose only.

Sir,do you think that the b3 is delayed???

 

[Fawad alam]

Rafael is already near to induct in IAF and our Block-III is in delay,
Defense must be our first priority, the funds should not be the reason of delay.

After the Feb conflict i feel that our PAF is not very confident with Block-II for A2A combat against MKIs (May be i am wrong ) and they are bending towards Viper again instead of Block-III development.

Yes, by several months.

Rafale will take 2-3 years for full induction.

Yes, by several months.

Do you also think that the Chinese are no more interested in it because it is not beneficial for them???
