O BHAI THE PICTURE ITSELF HAS CLEARLY SHOWN IT TO BE PRESENT THAT SCREEN IS OF HMDSo far there's no credible news of HMD integration
We are short of jets.Correct; as i noted in prior post to another; the priority has diminished with the newer blk 3; you are in the driver seat as a buyer as you have a better alternative in many respects.
CM 400AKG is not Hypersonic?Soon hypersonic missiles on JF 17 could be a reality. 3 institutes are working on those in china.
Radar's range is only 170km. Thats very small
That's the HUD. Who has seen the HMD helmet except you? [emoji16]O BHAI THE PICTURE ITSELF HAS CLEARLY SHOWN IT TO BE PRESENT THAT SCREEN IS OF HMD
Come on man, Block 3 is in a league that no fighter in iaf or paf currently is !!!
I am not at all disappointed at this MightyDragon !!!
It will come above expectations in time
It has decent range of 3000 km and as for IRST we install podded IRST if customer ask
Just no senior and professional members claims that block-3 will have first flight in 2016-17 and will mass produced in 2019-20 i am reading this forum since 2011 and regularly reading various sticky threads of JF-17 never heard this news before
Mahmood confirms that early work is being undertaken on a Block III configuration, probably to include enhancements to radar, avionics and weapons in conjunction with “chin” stations for sensor- or targeting pods. He was unable to confirm any connection between this program and the JF-17 weapons integration testbed (numbered 0213) which was built in China late last year.

Reuben F Johnson, Dubai - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
At this year's Dubai Airshow officials from the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) in Kamra discussed their plans for a future Block 3 variant of the Chengdu JF-17/FC-1 fighter now that the Block 2 model has a mature configuration. The aircraft is produced jointly by the PAC and Chengdu Aerospace Corporation in China.
"The Block 3 aircraft now exists in the form of a conceptual design and a list of mission requirements," said one of the senior Pakistan Air Force (PAF) officers assigned to the programme, "but no concrete decisions have been made about the choice and configuration of the onboard systems for the aircraft."

But fighter are not designed on aesthetic/beaut designed based on their indented missionsJust letting everyone know, @Stealth is a designer with a very good sense of aesthetics and balance. His disapproval towards JF-17 may be coming from it being visually bulky and displeasing.
its mentioned in the video. JF17 is compared with PAF current block 52 fightersIt depends on which block of F-16s are you comparing JF-17 with. F-16 block 60 will be better than JF-17 block 3.
Wrong, F-16 is proven platform. Even F-16 block 60 can beat JF-7 block 2 and 3.
Why u dont consider Mig29 UPGs to be threat like rest?Rafael, su30mkis and Miraj2000
This is not my logic this some senior member logic, and only 4th 4.5 gen jet with canted 2 tails is is only F-18 i think and it for rather used to stabilized F-18 rather to give F-18 stealth, so what about F-16 is on V stab, is their any problem in F-16 V stab???Please do check F18, F16 A/B and let me know are you sure about the logic which you’ve provided?

AESA is the major improvement in Thunder which Blk 52+ lacks. Also thier is the range difference with AIM 120C5 and PL 15( A/C to internet)In other words, IAF will be faced Block 52 category weapons systems that too in mass numbers in just 5 years from now.
