This means the russians are providing the necessary parts.
Very encouraging.

Hi,

A few weeks old video---. Smashes those who talk about the JF17 not having enough speed---.

Clarifies the role of the air refuelling.

Hi,

The russians had a great chance to re-build their reputation of supplying parts and what better opportunity than to hookup with the Paf---.

Feels as if it’s a 50% increase of upper surface. Possible their might be internal composite material used on the frame and underside as well?

 

[HRK]

composite material is also used in
Vertical tail
Underside of both wings
Underside of both Lerex
both sides of cockpit

Why composite material is not used in the Vertical tail of JF-17 Block III prototype?

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread but just a question I hope you don't mind.

Anypne with an idea whether the RWR/MAWS suite on the JF-17 has ever been confirmed? My notes say the complete EW suite is an INDRA setup (Spain) but for the RWR antennas I'm not sure. Some say they look like ALR-400s, but I don't know!

Deino, I'm not sure about the RWR antennas, but the MAWS sensors on the Block III appear to be the same IR based system as used on the J-10, as apposed to the previous UV based MAWS on the Block I and II aircraft.

Rwr is ALR400 DUAL configuration whereas MAWS is Chinese SE2 while some blk-2s have ALE-57 as well. KG600 is the standard ecm pod for now.
