JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 6]

[Thorough Pro]

IFR on Block-2s is expected in 2016. I strongly believe the reason for putting off IFR installations is because they didnt like the one pictured above as it was never introduced on other Block-1s. So no need to worry, most likely another alternative is in development.

-JF-17 Thunder and JAS-39C both fighters are belong to 4th gen family and light weight/single engine aircrafts.JF-17 Thunder is powered by Russian made RD-93 (Mig-29's engine) and it's engine thrust is 98kN while JAS-39C Gripen is powered by RM12 (developed from F-404 Engine) and it's engine thrust is 80.5kN but Thunder has much better engine thrust than Gripen.both fighters could give the tough time to each other in CAC (Close Air Combat) due to their advanced aerodynamics.

-JF-17 Thunder has total 7 weapon stations while JAS-39C Gripen has total 8 weapons stations and both fighters have wingtips on which they can carry short/medium range air to air missiles.

-JF-17 Thunder and JAS-39C Gripen give the modern platform to the weapons and both fighters are multirole aircrafts.

-Price tag of JF-17 Thunder is only $15-20 million while JAS-39C has $50+ miilion of price tag.

-No doubt JAS-39C uses modern technology than JF-17 Thunder because it's many components are U.S supplied while JF-17 Thunder has Chinese and Pakistani components but upgraded variant of JF 17 Block-2 will easily compete JAS-39C Gripen.

Gripen has 7 hardpoints, 4 under wings, 3 under fuselage.

Not sure how many under fuselage hardpoints JF-17 has.

Not many images of the installed IFR are available so far... and not a single one during flight/ aerial refueling.
The block-2 is undergoing tests for different parameters.

The Block 2 JF-17 will also have a two-seater version, which is now being developed at Chengdu according to the PAF's requirements.

"We know potential customers would like to see a two-seater, although it is not such a big deal for the PAF, which started flying several types, [A-5, F-6, F-7P and F-7PG] without a training version," Air Cdre Ahsan said. "This will give us the chance to show potential suitors how the jet can perform in the air."
