The dual ejector 119 we’re older form side by side, the newer are not same designation? Are they?

Lastly where is the pac official Jf-17 brochure ? I mean when it will be made available, which journalist were provided a copy ?

There is a difference between liters and Kg.

Block 1's payload was 3400 Kg, as per PAC website.

There was talk of using new dual ejector racks for the SD-10A. I have not seen evidence confirming those are operational.

Excerpts from the PAC brochure were posted by quwa.org on its JF-17 profile article.
 
119 reference to dual ejector which were dual 500 lbs or 250 kg bomb racks initially displayed with jf the recent redesigned racks for bombs not sure what naming convention is used for them dual sd10 pylons were shown on pac marketing material during 2015 air show and its posted on this forum some where

Dual ejector racks for SD-10A are not operational on JF-17.

Each GDJ-II19 DER can carry 2 x Mk-82 / GBU-12 or 2 x Durandal RPB or 2 x Mk-20 cluster munition on JF-17 as clearly mentioned in the below poster.

Exactly my point this model is old side by side which for some reason are not adopted by paf

http://www.***************/pictures/jf-17-thunderpak/p5981-jf-17-prototype.html

Paf went with newer pylons which are not 119
 
can some one differeniate the meaning of 2p40 and 17-234.
i saw these no on jf during hamza ali abbassi program regarding kamra.

2p40 is the 40th fighter of block 2 Being manufactured. This numbering is used by PAC when manufacturing process is ongoing.
When it will be completed and is to be transferred to the PAF than it will be numbered as 17-240 which means that the make year is 2017, block is 2 and the product number is 40.

So the 17-234 would have been 2p34 at PAC Kamra.

So the 17-234 would have been 2p34 at PAC Kamra.

Per paf history book

XX-x-xx is year built-block no - serial number

17-2-40

So max 99 per block
