Is it a real pic or photoshop?
It looks like a high quality well finished western fighter jet. I am amazed. Very glad if it's the real pic.

Desired fatigue life of the airframe is 4,000 flight hours or 25 years
Period to first overhaul would be 1,200 flight hours
The U.K. Ministry of Defense is considering the feasibility of extending the nominal 6,000 flight-hours fatigue life of its Eurofighter Typhoons. ... ... Moreover, the aircraft's current airframe life is 33 percent lower than the RAF's upgraded Panavia Tornado, which has an 8,000 flight-hour fatigue life.
Modern tactical aircraft are designed with airframe lives between 3,000 and 6,000 hours though exceptions either way do exist. Bent or out-of-life components can be replaced but it is usually an expensive affair and is thus to be avoided where possible.
One aspect of the JF-17 that I had not looked into and came into my focus today is the life of the airframe and according to PAC Kamra it is 4,000 hrs
4000 hrs in 25 years say the plane is expected to fly 3 hrs per week on average.
The Eurofigther is designed to about 6,000 hrs while the Tornado is at 8,000 hrs. Source: U.K. Considers Eurofighter Life Extensions | AVIATION WEEK
I am still trying to clarify but seems the Gripen is at 8,000. Not sure if this is the Gripen C or the Gripen NG.
According to Carlo Kopp, Mid Life Refits - The Affordable Option
MiG-21 = 2,400 hours from: http://www.cmmacs.ernet.in/nal/pdf/dr02.pdf on page 6.
just like other aircrafts, its fatigue life can be improved, and it will be later on whenever the need arises....
Thanks. I understand that they airframe can be rebuild to extend the life. I am looking at the original life as a measure of the design and build quality!

Three different technologies have been used for MAW systems i.e.
* Pulse Doppler Radar
* Infra Red
* Ultra Violet
which kind of Missile_Approach_Warning does jf17 employ
