tbh...I think it's an issue of time ... it'll just take a while before they can mission-ize the JF-17B. But I reckon if the PAF wants it, they'll get there, albeit something closer to 2030.Seems like the PAF missed a trick with the B model. As far as I can see, there's no indication the B model will be used for specialised mission purposes, rather simply for training purposes. The B model should have been based on the Block III specs, incorporating an AESA and the dedicated LDP/EWP hard point, to fully maximise the potential of the airframe for special missions, including Wild Weasel and EW missions. As it stands, the current B model specs severely limit its use in any such missions, and instead it seems it's limited to conversion training.
