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

[The Raven]

The person worked on FC-1 project so she knows what she's saying based on available pics. Everything she said about the project turned out to be true.

What are your credentials?

Same goes for you @Deino

Green panel for storing extra fuel.

Just because it's green, doesn't mean it stores fuel. Look where else there are green panels.

Before I go, the green was a different type of primer used on top of composite components iirc.

As you can see, it’s nothing new on that section of the LERX, rather, present on the 2 aswell

On this fighter, this is the case.

Prove it

Yeah and everyone with a brain cell will tell you it’s for 360 degree coverage as sensors have limitations with regards to their FoV, not for redundancy.


Ah yes, pixel analysis, a method known for its 100% accuracy.

ps, what do you do aside from spewing crap?

@waz please give me a site wide ban, this forum is making me lose hair, I love coming here to correct people but god some people are beyond redemption. I’ve contracted numerous neurological diseases from this forum thanks to the standards of posting from most.

@Bilal Khan (Quwa) @JamD @Deino @iLION12345_1

goodbye boys, you guys were in my mental list for people who’s posts I should regard and not ignore, among a few others I can’t remember now.

you know where to find me if you need me, keep an eye out on Twitter, some big stuff is cooking up soon

Buddy, I know exactly how you feel. You can't rationalise with mindsets like these.

Thanks a lot for your understanding, but in one detail I must contradict. It is not democracy that should prevail, only facts should matter.

If we would start a democratic survey or poll on "is Deino a stupid German, who knows nothing on Chinese military aviation and the PLA's orbat, systems and structure since some certain senior member at the PDF are untouchable", then I'm pretty sure I won't do well, but that won't change the facts.

I am also aware that this insistence on evidence and sources is seen as annoying, intrusive, disruptive and maybe even arrogant, yes, I get on some peoples' nerves here, but I can only assure you that this is not my intention.
I want to learn and know. Knowing that there is something I can't prove or confirm is driving me crazy. For example, I know that J-20s are in service within the 1st Air Brigade in Anshan, I even have a photo, but I am not allowed to publish it ... that really gets me down!

So please see it as an expression of a personal idiosyncrasy paired with cultural otherness, but certainly not as malicious arrogance or "wanting to know better".

Deino, given that this is still primarily a Chinese project, surely your sources in China will have a better understanding of the changes in Block III, and especially about all these ridiculous claims being made?

 

[Dazzler]

Prove it

Lol at you kids.
QA inspector agrees.

It’s impossible

He specifically said green = fuel tanks?

Nope. I made that up.

 

[Akh1112]

Nope. I made that up.

Wouldn’t be surprised considering the things you and your buddies go on about.

Just found what he was talking about. The engineer was talking SPECIFICALLY about the wing.

HUD in the first pt looks similar to the one fitted in l15

Fair enough @Deino and @iLION12345_1

We agree to disagree and let the democracy prevail.

Thank you, that’s only fair, if we do see all the changes you and messiach are talking about down the line, I’ll very happily take back my words And Admit you were correct, I do not mean any disrespect when I question you or others, I simply say what I know and see.

Haha, i get what you mean, it does get frustrating, I’d be sad to see you go though, the forum remains worth visiting due to the presence of the few people who’s posts are still worth reading. Maybe take a break from it though, a good week or two off will surely help.

Read up on fuselage mounted fuel cells. F16 and jf17 both have those.

This is nothing new, but there's green primer on the nose around the cockpit, does that mean that section also holds fuel tanks?!

There's green primer on the tail in B. Do you know what for?

So using your twisted logic, that means the nose will contain fuel! The JF-17 Block III, the only aircraft designed to store fuel around the cockpit!

As I said. You kids are naive.
Light aircraft often carry extra internal fuel at various areas.
Blk 1 first batch aircraft also received extra fuel during first major overhaul.
