JF-17 Block-3 -- Updates, News & Discussion

Those expecting diamond nose, twin tails, stealthy airframe will be disappointed. Its pretty much a slightly modified version of the single seater. The block approach means that the aircraft was meant to have "gradual" improvements from the start, much like the F-16. The trend continues with the blk 3 and may go on until the final thunder is inducted.

Hi,

Tactically the Paf was caught with its pants down---.

In 2005 they decided that there would be no war with india and peace would be soon so they donated the fighter aircraft money to earthquake relief---which was later on looted by the civil service and politicians---.
Can’t blame them. Whole nation is broke.

Nations wants cheap tomatos, evening tea and freebies. Defense can take a backseat.

Block approach is based on technological advances in sciences & engineering or ongoing mission/situation requirements.

PAF is slow as far as inducting technology. Technology was out there, they decided to go with non composites and 3 gen tech. Now they are trying to Caught up due to situation/mission requirements.

Initially they were, but things have improved considerably. Even the first block had more than 5% composites in the airframe, and saw incremental improvements in avionics and subsystems.

For instance, who would have known that this so called cheap aircraft used fly by optics?

They better learn a lesson so once money is allocated for something should be spent on that particular something!!!

Hi,

Yes---when you get the funds---they should be spent in the shortest possible time---because we are a poor country---other diversion may occur---.

Hi,

What you are saying is in the realm of a general BLOCK UPGRADE---.

Grippen NG is a structural Block upgrade---so no comparison.

We should fix our expectation on just AESA radar in block 3... Pakistan cannot afford neither has excess to other technologies ...

Hi,

Actually AESA is a massive massive upgrade---just totally changes the playing field in your favor---.
