new customer is sri lanka not Myanmar

I hope that its true. Can't accept our jet going to myanmar as they are the murderer of Muslims.

I think that was for PL-5 WVR not SD-10 BVR.

It was displayed for SD-10.

2 1000lb bombs? I read somewhere that JFT was capable of delivering only 1 1000lb bomb???

A very old photo available on net since 2011 or 2012

Yes, the dual rack for Sd-10 was displayed before. I am very much interested in it.

I was asking is it is being displayed at PAS15. Is so, it means the project is still alive even more so with the the photos in the above brochure.

I did too see a 3rd party (Janes )diagram saying 1 station for 1000lb bomb.

However the finger has 3 stations capable of more than 1000kg.

Those bombs looks bigger than 500lb

Here is what was presented by the guy who designed the plane . 5 stations can take 1000lb bombs .

TINY = Low RCS

Well, I don't believe that. Look examples at F-16, Rafale, Su-30MKI and J-10A/B, does China focus on low RCS on their own planes than ours?

Can someone please post specification from Paris in front of of the aircraft, is is still stating 13000kg max takeoff and 4000kg+ load factor? range ??

All 3 stations are now cleared for MK-84 per idea 2014

Only FRONT view is worst looking of JF-17 tiny but rear view, side view and other views are much better.

beauty in the eye of beholder
for me the front view is much better and makes it look more modern whereas the side profile on ground makes it look too vintage something of a bygone era.
