JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[Chak Bamu]

Nose is probably the same. The camera angle makes it seem different.

The antennas are different for sure. The ones on the latest JF-17B correspond more closely with Pakistani JF-17. The first JF-17B prototype probably has different (Chinese?) avionics and hence different antennas from Pakistani JF-17.

A Pakistani pilot participated in the flight test of JF-17B (01) on 7 December for the first time.

B model vertical tail looks more sleek and refined with rest of the fuselage compared to A model

I think the difference is that the PAF wishes to use the Thunder-Bravos for strike missions. While export Bravos will be like trainers.

Beautiful. This development will definitely will attract more exports.

Can someone summarize the difference between this model and actual prototype for layman like me. Thanks in advance.

May I ask a source for this claim? Because unfortunately our Indian friends will want one.

@messiach @Windjammer @Bilal Khan (Quwa) can you plz confirm/reject the claim that B version has been tweaked at AMF in Pakistan?
