No, this has nothing to do with Project Azm ... Project Azm is at a very beginning stage

This is just a model to be put on an office table ...

Looks completely doable

So its true a stealth JF is what's being developed!

No buddy, this is a very old model ... Aged before announcement of project Azm

At this point, we have no way to say with surery whether Block 3 will have stealth features or not. @wanglaokan is suggesting a stealth design, not necessarily a copy of the model in the picture.

i expect China churn out a stealthy design that is affordable for developing countries.

Let us see...

Meanwhile, could you give reasons behind your conjecture?

 

[帅的一匹]

as to AZM, it should be highly related to CAC.

there will be a huge market there for doing so, especially as a continued product for JF 17 series. a light stealthy fighter which is affordable.

who will say no to money.

and who can decide that those poor and developing countries cant induct stealthy fighter!

an affordable stealthy fighter is the direction of JF 17 BLK 4 should go.

lets do some brainstorm.

Aaaah Block 4 is a very different beast and very far into the future. No use trying to scry so far into the future. Who knows, by then Turkey may come on board as well with inputs from the F-35 program...

We are sure block 3 has no significant structural design changes ... However, capability-wise there will be big changes or probably structural strength will increase ...

The nose had to be redesigned to accommodate the larger AESA radar. Let's wait and watch...

Minor changes will be there like the B version but no major changes to make it stealth ...
