Incorrect, 3P-09 is labelled 7th aircarft. This convention is being followed since a long time.
Well spotted!

Top one is light for night time A-A refueling.Which sensors are they?
The blue circle is from Stormbreaker (seems hardpoint)View attachment 805845
Rafale seems to have too many sensors!!

Then why PAF as has ordered 93MA version?For the engine, somebody already posted this link some time ago at some thread which i don't remember:
We went to the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex booth and asked about the JF-17
One of the many companies present at the Dubai Air Show is Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (or PAC), which has a stand where they displayed, among several productwww.aviacionline.com
it says:
"When asked if the JF-17 Block III will be powered by the new and more powerful Russian RD-93MA engine (modernized version of the RD-93 that equips the current Thunder) or the Chinese Guizhou WS-13, the answer was… neither.
PAC confirmed that for now there are no plans to change the propulsion plant of the JF-17, which will use the same model as the previous Thunder blocks."
may be why ordered 30 planes, which also lead us to 2023-24 (probably a time for engine availability) when we may see new engine equipped planes coming in from number 31 onward after completion of current batch?
They haven't but fan boys haveThen why PAF as has ordered 93MA version?

My question is how the already low power RD 93 will provide juice for aesa and the extra sensors on block 3?
Weight reduction by increase in composite usage.So....how is the aircraft going to generate extra power for AESA and additional payload, when the engine is the same?
Yup, the little blue pill, and what else?Salajeet!
What makes you think it couldn't?
The new came out from Russian source clearly said that engine is for JF-17 and Pakistan did order in 2012 i wonder which sources are fan boyThey haven't but fan boys have
Though weight reduction improves available power, but now all FBW and new sensors and AESA.... I think it wd compromise speed/performance by using all the equipment. So energy management protocals will be there to optimise performance on pilot input. Also, I believe PAF wd done something for network centric warfare so that ZDK-03 can guide even PL-15 so that JFs don't have to use radar most of the time. Anyway, the tactics will evolve if detection/awareness is preferred over perfromance.Yup, the little blue pill, and what else?
Because Thrust to weight ratio was already bad I JF-17. Now the same engine will also have to provide for AESA and more.
Was this intake there for B2? May be exit for it... Better @The Eagle can point out.
I can see two sensors (or hinge) above dragchute lid. The black rectangle can be to detect IR homing.
some cooler air around some critical part
This is the directional light. Probe will be near cockpit. As highlighted in red.@JamD
Bro.. that can be the point to attach fueling probe?
