r u the guy from WAFF?

Hey !! what U guys have started posting here??? other than JF-17 and its related stuff.........

 

[fatman17]

r u the guy from WAFF?

definately looks like engines being loaded on to the IL-78 MRTT

 

[Myth_buster_1]

no sir, clearly the il76 is being loaded into the JF-17.

r u the guy from WAFF?

No, but I took his name though.

 

[MZUBAIR]

Any news abt JF17 Blk II

 

[Last Hope]

Likely to be unveiled by early-mid 2013.
Induced in 2-3 years.

 

[regular]

Any news abt JF17 Blk II

I guess we still waiting for them....

 

[Anotherangle]

Any news about RAM coating on jf 17? Isn't it very very important for BVR warfare?

 

[turbo charged]

will block 2 of jf-17 have a refuelling pod?.....

 

[Edevelop]

will block 2 of jf-17 have a refuelling pod?.....

They are all capable. JF-17 is designed in such a way that it can have room for upgrade. I suppose Block 1 will also have one in the future....

No they Won't. Confirmed by PAF officials in Zhuhai air show 2011

no sir, clearly the il76 is being loaded into the JF-17.

I don't see any need to stop the plane from Russia in China when they can Bring the engines directly to Pakistan fort assembly.

This a a fuselage BTW.

Be careful with this simplistic claim.

A radar cross section (RCS) depends on these main factors:

- Freq employed
- Power
- Distance
- Target features

Radar Cross Section (RCS)

The chart in that source is that rough approximation. It is based upon ONE fixed variable: The seeking radar.

What it means is that we used the same radar with all the same main factors above to measure some objects to give the readers some scale. Without using the EXACT radar, the next best thing is to use systems that have as close approximations regarding capabilities to each other as much as possible. Then we employ statistical chicaneries from those system differences to justify our presentations.

Can a B-52 have a 1m2 RCS? Absolutely, but at several hundreds kms out. This is where distance is our fix.

The problem lies with the receiver portion of the seeking radar, or the physically distinct receiver antenna, but we will call it 'the receiver' for simplicity.

If the receiver is not as capable as its competitors, instead of the B-52 being 1m2 at 500km, this inferior receiver may have that 1m2 at 490km or even 400km, and this will make the F-22 even closer than 30km. Someday in the future, there will be really good radar that will make the F-22's RCS as 1m2 at 500km.

Of course the RCS profile differs with angle, W load and a host of factors. Even for 30KM I dont think JF would stand a chance against F-22 given F-22 can detect and fire a BVR at JF from at least 100KM+. Neither i claim any ownership of this piece or authenticity. However, we have seen JFT being used along J-20 which ,even if we assume not being as stealthy as F-22, is a 5th Gen plane. Yes prehaps some details about how RCS value is assigned would be helpful indeed. btw here is the complete picture, would appriciated is one of our chinese friends can help us with translation

FC-1 re-callibration tests were conducted recently after initial testing for increased wingload (up to 150-200%)

The Xiaolong aircraft for calibration tests
On August 8, the aircraft industry to fly 06 Xiaolong aircraft began a comprehensive calibration tests, the goal is to test the aircraft in the air under load. The trial will be fully verify the strength of the loading of the "Fierce Dragon" aircraft parts, aircraft design optimization and improvement for the next step to provide a detailed and reliable data.
