JF-17 Fighter Slated for Block-2 Upgrades in 2012

[Dazzler]

simulators do have their limitations i believe. Simulator + Trainer will be great but Simulator alone won't be a gud idea. I bet a trainer is on its way.

There is a difference between usual simulator that we have seen in Expos, full mission simulator is a different thing altogether, it is capable of simulating complete mission profile, creating a real time G effect that a pilot experiences in a real cockpit, and is as good as a pilot sitting in a dual seater. However, a trainer is being developed too.

Trainer program is no longer pursued. According to AVM Javed Ahmad

I agree that the latest we heard is that there is no 2-seater in the pipeline.

60% of the things which many members use to brag about here didnt come true rest 40% which came were obvious....sometimes thinking of this fact makes me laugh that 60% of the things discussed here on the forums are those about which even the PAF officials dont have any idea....even if the jf-17 project manager will hear what fanboys have to say about future developments he would be baffled and hitting his head hard

According to last PAF chief jf17 block 3 due in 2016.

You still seem to be unaware of the meaning of 'public internet forum'.
All are free to speculate and make knowledgeable guesses.

but you still seem to be unaware of a difference b/w a rational poster his pragmatism may it be a public forum and a person who talks in air without even a slightest of idea ...... sharing or speculating is one thing but claiming something and backing it up with so called insider info is just too much specially when even the official guys dont even have a minute knowledge about it

It's in production, just very little info about it.

It's in production, just very little info about it.

Well here's some info"Subsequent upgrades will be made on PAF JF-17s approximately every five years. Planned additions include:
Greater use of composite materials in the airframe to decrease weight.
Chinese Infra-Red Search and Track (IRST) system, possibly the Type Hongguang-I Electro-optical radar originally developed for the Chengdu J-10 fighter by Sichuan Changhong Electric Appliance Corporation. JF-17 is already compatible with this system but currently it must be carried externally in a pod mounted on one of the hardpoints.
New engine; most likely the Chinese WS-13 TianShan, although the PAF is considering fitting European powerplants such as the French Snecma M88 to its aircraft.
Minor airframe modifications to reduce the aircraft's radar cross-section by adding stealthy features.
Beyond the initial 50 PAF JF-17s, the remaining production aircraft may also be equipped with European avionics, radars and weaponry. Pakistan had begun negotiations with British and Italian defence firms over potential avionics and radars for JF-17 during initial development. Some of the radar options for JF-17 are the Italian Galileo Avionica Grifo S7,[23] and the French Thomson-CSF RC400, a variant of the RDY-2 radar, along with the MBDA MICA short/medium range air-to-air missile,also maybe 2 additional hardpoints

Well last year we already seen serial production 37 which makes it 12-145 or the 45th unit, I am sure PAC has built 5 to total 50 units in a year or even this year

PAC is very busy so I doubt they are sitting around, Block II is in full scale production inside the facility

Units of the 12-14x have been seen flying from Kamra they are doing flight testing and evaluation and due course will be handed
over

SP37 or the 45th of the total, many projects can be cut due to finances but not the JF-17 it's a high priority project which is backed by many powerful institutions, btw I'm Asif Iqbal on Sinodefenceforum so please no copying and pasteing my posts over there yeah, wouldn't be the first time

 

[aziqbal]

Reads FC10140 which is the 40th from serial production which means its the 48th of the Block I total

Block I run is completed long ago
