A recent rumor (March 2011) suggested that an improved version with a stealth optimized forward fuselage (diamond-shaped nose cross section?) is being developed. A prototype may have been flying. A further improved version (JF-17A/JF-17 Block 2?) featuring an AESA radar, IRST and IFR probe and a two-seat trainer version (JF-17B?) are thought to has been proposed and likely be under development as well.

I dont understand where is AESA & IRST comes in again n again ...COAF himself has confirmed during dubai air show n afterwards that KLJ-7 (PD) radar with improved capabilites shall be installed on Block II .....
also Block II incorporates the IFR probe but NO IRST is present as of now .....
 
.
Based on his numbers on this videos he says "$80m-$90m" and JF-17 costing 1/3 =$26.7m with rounds up to $27m per plane

Cost per hour he say 45,000Euros for other fighters = $60,000 based on today's rate. JF-17 costs $20,000/hr to operate.
Man Thats really Cheap

Compare the cockpit of JF-17 Block 1 to F-16 Block 60. Im not saying JFT is better but note some differences. What exactly is that green thing on the F-16 Hud? Will JFT Block 2 have this upgrade?
 
.
that green thing on the hud of the f-16 is the same thing as in jft blk 1 except it is more greener

I don't if this issue has been raised before or not? Why has NATO not given a code name to JF-17?

How about JF-17 Fraction (of a cost)
 
.
Good point there PDF Shurtah, what is the NATO name for the JF-17, thunder?
 
.
Name should begin with a F and should have 2 syllables.

Maybe

JF-17 Fatwa ?
