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

@CriticalThought

My bad , you are correct, two sources indirectly connected with Kamra have confirmed that it is a genuine image from yesterday's ceremony but they also agree that PAC or whoever was in charge has messed up once again....like the flag on tail pointing the wrong way......also the image was most likely captured from a phone thus the poor quality.

Thanks bro. Good to have the confirmation.

Why W-10B engines with TVC not bieng used on blk 3?
Can anyone answer that?

Oh please! The WS-10 is too large and powerful for the JF-17, there is no chance to fit it and even more not a single operational J10 uses TVC. So simply forget it.
So when we are expecting blk 4 , In the media?
It's been speculated , having twin engine TVC , better long range radars and capability of carrying massive payload.
It's been modeled on F16S V or XL models!
and bound to have smillar capabilities!
Any news on that?

No… this is nothing but wishful thinking, maybe even a wet dream only. So, forget this too it is plan ridiculous.

Dude I had full confirmation. I can tell eight JF-17 have been handed over to PAF. They will be fully inducted when at least 8 to 12 more jets are ready to form a squadron. The FTC tests have been completed and handed over to PAF. Now you want me to share more details then I can't. Seriously not interested in getting picked up. Even if you would have seen 7th September show of Bol News which never got shown on TV for some reason but its pictures came out even in that several JF-17 BLOCK III were getting ready and that show was done in September.
The CM-400AKG missiles the Block 3 is carrying in the PAC picture could also make for a long range anti-radiation missile similar to the US’ AARGM-ER

An AntiRadiation variant would also make for a really good Anti-Ship System

Any stealth coatings on B3 ?
Heard internal irst censor somewhere. . T or F ?
Any reason why PAC being so low-key with the block 3 ?

There were never any established sources for the purported roll out today. And no roll out pictures or videos or official release was available today. So there was no roll out.
That is news! Is the third time the JF17 BLK III program has missed a deadline it had annouced just months earlier?
We know from the Sept. 6th media visits the Block III final assembly was in full swing and atleast 7 airframes were nearing completion. So why the delay?
Could it be the Chinese are still having trouble with the AESA? That is the only major confirmed change from the 2seater.
Did such a possible delay play a role in the J10C procurement?
The CM-400AKG missiles the Block 3 is carrying in their picture could also make for a long range anti-radiation missile similar to the US’ AARGM-ER
Anyone saved the photo before webmaster deleted it lol

But is there a reason, why no images were revealed?
 
. . . . . .
In thar case, can you refer me to a good Pakistani defense enthusiast YT channel :whistle:
:disagree: Webby wouldn’t like that now would he (honestly I think I mixed up the two pictures they were talking about, so I was actually referring to the poster from PAC not any real photo of the rollout, I want to see it too but I guess we will have to wait till March 23; PAF Eid :p:)
