But the fuel line is also on right hand side in all JF-17?Unlikely

No one is going to comment on the speculation that this is the third aircraft of the third batch?
Or the fuel line for air to air refueling probe?
Hmm,Air to Air refueling line can be seen close to rear of Cockpit. The line under the cockpit goes all the way to the front which doesn't house any IFR connection.

Is it still needed when aircraft are flying in formations? Using datalinks and aew&c support? Also the aew&c can provide cooperative engagement capability so why is it needed?Not that it matters, but I am not happy about Block 3 not using that other AESA with side panels.
That could have given JF 17 the Losck on after firing capability.
nicely observed.Difference in mounting of the Block 3 vs Block 2. ...interesting the plate/slot fits in with the LKF601E AESA radar( I have been re-educated by men in black suites and glasses) ... the plate fits the KLJ-7A

You have a small plane on an even smaller budget. Think of what you can buy and what the Chinese will sell you. Secondly think of space and energy considerations. Lastly whatever has been bought has been assembled locally which for us is huge news. You do not want a very complex system which the provider wont sell to you or is so expensive that you cannot buy it and the Chinese will certainly not let you have TOT on their latest system. Lastly multipanel AESA is not used elsewhere either as no one knows how effective they are. There has been talk of distortion of image so it is maturing technology.Not that it matters, but I am not happy about Block 3 not using that other AESA with side panels.

Just adding a complete picture for the ease of viewers and understand the plate on airframe fitted with AESA.Difference in mounting of the Block 3 vs Block 2. ...interesting the plate/slot fits in with the LKF601E AESA radar( I have been re-educated by men in black suites and glasses) ... the plate fits the KLJ-7A

If central poitn can carry more fuel it would help in antiship missions(2 c802)The Ra'ad is also an old ALCM design, even by our standards. The design traits of the Ra'ad-2 (e.g., 'X'-tail) seem to point towards JF-17 integration (eventually).
Lock on after launch has got nothing to do with a side panel AESA.Not that it matters, but I am not happy about Block 3 not using that other AESA with side panels.

no its above the intake ....Or the fuel line for air to air refueling probe?
It has , Because that increases the off bore sight azimuth massively.Lock on after launch has got nothing to do with a side panel AESA.
BLK 52's do have JHMCS along with some MLU's as well.While many upgrades have already been mentioned regarding the block-III, it would be quite interesting to see the PL-10 & HMD combo aboard the BLK-III and its effectiveness in close, considering how PAF wasn't able to get the AIM-9X with the JHMCS on the block-52's. Add to that the more powerful RD-93MA and it would be very interesting to see the results.
