It's rotated in a safe position. The aircraft is either about to land or just took off, debris coming off nose wheel can damage the lense hence it's hidden

Nope but it's pretty awesome nevertheless.

And the reason for this comment, can we have some data to back this assertion instead of an anecdotal comment. Thank you for sharing.

Please compare the size, weight and resolution of both of them for a start.

Sniper ATP is much more aerodynamically efficient with one of the lightest if not the lightest targeting pod. It also gives more clearer display.


It is also better because U.S. training and support that comes with the package is best in the world.

A former PAF pilot also held in his personal opinion that Aselpod is not as indigenous as they claim. Though, that does not mean it's not a good product.

Chin pod in blk3 only.

Just for fun since it is a nice CG showing a JF-17 in what-if colours operated by the PLAAF in a fictive 120th Air Brigade.

Chinese fighter jets buzz Taiwan for second day as tensions rise days into Biden term

Beijing claims self-governing Taiwan as part of its territory, and has been angered by a show of increased US support for the island

Block 3 needs wing tip ECM and IRST
though both are unlikely to happen
