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

[Yasser76]

J-10 is probably far better than JF-17 because studied from scratch as a new fighter, when JF-17 is the last avatar of Mig21, heavier so more range/load, and made for China air force (JF-17 never enter in china service.... it is a clue).

as the islamists in the north african desert, your brothers, if their a** is not kicked.

Ah, so you are comparing a lightweight fighter with a heavyweight fighter. Surely in that case Tejas will be better then SU-35 and SU-30 upgrade as these were based on old SU-27 design?

Sometimes in an effort to demean Pakistan, you not only fail to do that but also do incredibly well in makeing yourself look stupid, it's impressive you manage that in a single post, even more say that the Fake French ID you are going under...

MPS version is just 120kg, scans up to 200 degrees FOV and offers pretty much same functions as the three array version. Hybrid cooling is an added bonus. All versions of the radar have same LRUs with minimal performance difference.

Oh so MPS is the version with mechanical augmentation (swatch plate) ? That would be great! Like the radars on Gripen E and Eurofighter.

Yep. Machine phase scanning with swashplate.

Dont think it can not be deliberate misdirection...

Is this a credible publication? The details given indicates it is.

Theoretically there would be a range penalty in the extreme angles of the 300 degree FOV of the 3 lobbed version since the side lobes are smaller. What would be interesting is if that penalty is large enough or not to give its BVR a greater 'effective' range advantage.

I am surprised people are discussing feb 27 and ignoring this news item.

@MastanKhan another piece to support your guess regarding which verison of the radar PAF is going for.

Who said we were unable to stop them?

Our jf17s and f16 caps timely intercepted the other strike packages you sent. The mirage strike package was intercepted just seconds after you apparently crossed the loc.

The deployment of your spice 2k was due to our caps intercepting ur mirage 2k package. They dropped them in haste hence why they missed their targets.

I mean the same could be said for you.

Why were you unable to intercept any of our packages? I mean 27th of Feb was good marketing for our jf17 blk2. And if the blk2 can do that, imagine what the blk3 can do

Can you please stop feeding the troll. Let them live in their dream of the mighty Aggressive IAF.
Regards

It is a discussion

but swashplate is something being mentioned since before Block-2.

AM (retd) Shahid Latif shared a pic yesterday of JF-17 saying Pakistan Zindabaad. Though that don't look like Block 3 from HUD but still timing of tweet was giving hint that BLK3 is around the corner.

There you go, feast your eyes.
Also see 8th hardpoint's marks under intake.

Any chance of 9th hardpoint on opposite side of the 8th point. I mean on the other side.

Pretty much confirmed what I've been saying. Pl10E on wingtip, bigger intakes, HMCS.
