The new round HUD visible in JF-17 Block III model is identical to this as tweeted by this Chinese friend.

Is this hud Chinese or pac had joint venture with Singapore [emoji1215] technologies for smart Hdd which would replace Chinese version

There are also now 3/4th hen smart hud technologies in play

Whats the question? its quite unclear

 

[echo 1]

I was hoping the tail would look more like the one found on the JF17B.

I was hoping the tail would look more like the one found on the JF17B.

Why---?

 

[Haris Ali2140]

Why---?

Swept Tail looks cool.

 

[GriffinsRule]

Swept Tail looks cool.

Tinted cockpit window and black paint would look even cooler.

Guys this is the first prototype

many changes will happen

Anyone remember the very ugly IFR on the test block I ?

they made it better in the operational units

my point is this is not the final configuration

 

[JohnWick]

Why---?

Cuz it looks modren.

 

[The Accountant]

Cuz it looks modren.

Guys block B has backward swept tail to address the changed center of gravity due to change in weight distribution. It was not for beauty

 

[echo 1]

Yes it does look cool, but now that I think of it, and people have said it before this aircraft will not have big changes. If the current tail works well then why change it.
But still I wonder why PAF has decided to go with 2 different types of tail configurations instead of sticking to one found in earlier Block I and II aircrafts. Or just upgrading the Block III tail found on JF17B

Can the MAWs, noticed in the recent pic of a Block III (behind the air intakes and the verticle fin), be retrofitted to the earlies Blocks?

and do we know who flew this Block III, one of our boys or the CATIC big shot?
