Hi just a small query is it necessary to have IFR on every plane or one can have 6-8 in every
Squadron
Thanks you

In a war like situation, you can't be exactly sure which aircraft will end up where or run short of fuel.

Tactically speaking, yes, it is necessary.

In flight refueling extends the effective combat range, thereby increasing the threat potential PER aircraft. The capability offers a squadron combat flexibility, which increases its value. In peace time, since it allows the aircraft and pilot longer endurance which stresses the pilot which results in a better pilot.

So why would you not install it in every jet in the squadron ?

Gosh, 239 looks like a mess. Pilot must have pushed it hard up there.

JF-17 Fuselage(different from Block-II) was spotted at Chengdu airport,
This looks like single seat variant with dorsal spine and different cockpit shape.

Could be the B version being delivered to PAF.
A

 

[Fawad alam]

Almost like B version, only canopy is different from both A and B.

Our understanding is that It is detachable. So it does not need to be on all the time but the plumbing is there and can be put on in a matter of a couple of hours

as we know IFR is detachable ... & IFR with 236 was there to represent the IFR capability to the Indonesian President

My guess is they're installing them once the aircraft goes in for major inspection like A check, or a 1000 hour inspection.

45 Minutes. As claimed by some PAF official in Warnes interviews.
