JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

I think this has not been posted just the screen-shots

Fuel capacity reduced in dual-seaters so they added a tank to the vertical stabilizer as well.

Hi

Color coding is used so that there is no confusion of what to expect or what they would be dealing with---within that area.

Thank you. I think after seeing the video you are probably right.

More single seater Block-2s?

2P-83

2P-82

I wonder why not add fuel in verticular stablizer of thunder block 3

The previous 1.5 pages should be moved to Thunder B thread since it is clear from the video AMF is only rigged for the B model currently.

Right, I think I have worked out the serial production numbers.

PAF ordered 50 Block-1. Completed
PAF ordered 50 Block-2. Completed

PAF ordered 12 additional Block-2. Ongoing
These are serial production numbered as:

2P-51, 2P-52, 2P-53, 2P-54, 2P-55, 2P-56​

2P-57, 2P-58, 2P-59, 2P-81, 2P-82, 2P-83​

Note: 2P-60, 2P-61 and 2P-62 belong to Nigerian Air Force. Credit to whoever confirmed/clarified this here first.

PAF ordered 26 Block-2B. Ongoing
These are serial production numbered as:

2P-63B, 2P-64B, 2P-65B, 2P-66B, 2P-67B​

2P-68B, 2P-69B, 2P-70B, 2P-71B, 2P-72B​

2P-73B, 2P-74B, 2P-75B, 2P-76B, 2P-77B​

2P-78B, 2P-79B, 2P-80B​

Note: 8 were scheduled for 2019 and 14 for 2020 - total of 22 Block-2Bs. Which means 4 more will be produced this year (2P-84B, 2P-85B, 2P-86B and 2P-87B) and the remainder 4 next year as per schedule (2P-88B, 2P-89B, 2P-90B and 2P-91B).

That raises the question, where are the remainder 11 JF-17 Thunders for Myanmar Air Force?
Produced, delivered and publically seen so far are all from three years ago.

17-01, 17-02, 17-03, 17-04​

JF-17 Engine is not very powerful.....Much improvements required in it.

Only if you scroll down the main JF-17 section, you will find out that we do have dedicated thread. Please check Sir.

Based on the open source data, Link-16 transmission rate is 1 Mbps. Not enough to beam Live video back to ground station via Link-16

why data rate is so low? Why they cant increase it? And what about new datalink development for live video feed?

 

[truthfollower]

The video is a piece of cow dung. It is nothing but regurgitation of information already at hand. We will have to accept that no one knows what the hell is going on. Its like trying to stick a tail onto an elephant while blind. I have to say that those who normally say something are now totally quiet so one has to assume there is total blackout on block 3 capabilities.
The things that we do know are:
Chin mounted hardpoint.
IR MAWS
AESA Radar.
Full axis FBW
Halographic HUD
possibilities are:
HMDS.
FADEC
J20 Style display.

Araz, we need to clamp down on these youtube videos made by boys; not only is it causing confusion but it tends to become gospel in many circles. what is happening to this world...

Its a world trend - every other tom, dick and harichand is putting a video up spouting nonsense.

why dont you people come out with your YouTube channel?
We in Pakistan are missing professionals like

destin from smarter everyday

and derek muller from varitasium

and mark rober

Vertical stab houses a fuel tank in B model.

I wonder why not add fuel in verticular stablizer of thunder block 3

Vertical stab houses a fuel tank in B model.

correct, but not in block 3
which makes me wonder why

as i believe 2400 kg isnt enough, needs 25% more seeing how gripen fixed that in the NG version
