Nope. There was rumours HOBS and IRST but seems like there won't be.

Who are you, the head of decision makers.

My concern is with engine and payload.

This is a concern everyone had before feb 27 and yet jf17 performed. Nothing wrong with the engine or payload

Ok Sir. But what happens if we have to strike deep inside india and JF has only 7 hard points? Choice would be between fuel, aam, bombs.

Let the airforce worry about that. The designers know exactly what they are designing this for. H4 SOW has a range of 120km.

You can have 2 or three aircraft equipped with SOW weapons with a few escorts. Many ways to kill an Indian...dont worry.

Slightly off topic...but I personally like that route BD took of heavily focusing on improving GDP first...

If it was up to me to run Pak...I would just give a straight and simple message to India "if India invades Pak...the very first response would be nukes...no warnings would be given nor any negotiations...so mind ur own business and we'll mind ours"...and it wouldn't be a bluff

Then I would focus fully on improving the economy in every way possible. After a decade of heavily focusing on the economy then I would shift gears to heavily modernizing the armed forces(with increased budget due to an improved economy) to bring back conventional minimum deterrence capabilities at the very least. Only with a strong economy can Pak try to keep up with India.

What use was Iraq's GDP if they couldn't secure their border?

Pakistan and China have finalized the latest Block III design of JF-17, making the jets capable of competing for the world’s modern fighter planes

LAHORE (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 06th March, 2019) Pakistan and China have finalized the latest Block III design of JF-17, making the jets capable of competing for the world’s modern fighter planes.

The Thuder jets, after upgrading, will be able to compete American F-16, Australian FA-18, F-15, Russian Sukhoi 27 and France Miraj 2000. A Turkish website reported that Beijing and Islamabad have agreed to finalize the up-gradation plan for JF-17.

The upgrade, it is reported, intended to match latest fourth-generation military jets. The new plan aimed at enhancing engine power and speed. Lightweight material will be used for preparation and an active electronically scanned array radar will be fitted in it.

Block-III design was finalized after a period of two-and-a-half years. On the other side, JF-17 received worldwide fame after hitting the Indian jets on violation of Pakistan air. A military aviation website and American online magazine reported that prices of the shares of went up to 10 percent after five minutes of Indian jets crash.

An online magazine of East Asia reported the Indian jets were the first prey of JF-17. The jets won international praise during Paris Air show. Pakistan and China jointly developed the fighter jet.

Can't we use some other engine on JF17, possibly WS10 of J-10? as with current engine it is of no match to even F-16.

JF-17 wasn't built / designed for deep strike, it was built as work horse and replacement for F-7s, A-5s and Mirage III/V, neither of which were inducted based on deep strike capability.

Plus if they do go on deep strike 300/400 mile journey than they will work as part of a package. Some will be armed in A2G and some to provide cover, some to provide SEAD.
