How does it feel like when you are a back bencher, while being at such a high, or highest , "Hashira" level ?

I have seen some Indian idiots badmouth this plane. It is because JF-17 is a successful project.

Gentlemen, we must be doing something right after-all. lol.

JF-17B — Dual-seat variant of the JF-17.

1693081320535.png


First flight in Chengdu, China on 27 April 2017. Serial production in China and Pakistan from 2018 to 2020.

A total of 26 aircraft built - first four at Chengdu and remaining 22 at Kamra. Its multi-roles include use as a (i) JF-17 conversion trainer; (ii) Lead-In Fighter Trainer (LIFT); (iii) ground-attack aircraft; and (iv) reconnaissance aircraft.

Apart from the dual-seat, larger dorsal spine, and a more swept-back tail, another difference between the JF-17B and the JF-17A is that the JF-17B carries fuel in its vertical stabiliser, which the JF-17A does not.

The JF-17B houses integral fuel tanks like the F-16. Each wing houses 550 Ib while the vertical tail houses 210 lb, which, together with the internal fuel load, totals 4,910 Ib of fuel. Together with the three external fuel drop-tanks, the aircraft can carry a total 10,000 Ib fuel load.
