Nope, behind the cockpit is the UAT (Universal Access Transceiver) antenna and a GPS antenna, the PITOT is under the left wing.PITOT* tube
It measures fluid flow velocity and gives out the air speed of the aircraft.
Good Day!
@Quwa since SM can carry a payload of over 300kg. I wonder if they will arm it to carry more PGMs than just 2... 25KG PGBs?Air Platforms
Pakistan looks at COIN role for Super Mushshak aircraft
Alan Warnes, Kamra - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
19 May 2017
The state-owned Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), in Kamra, northern Pakistan, is looking at counter-insurgency (COIN) roles for its Super Mushshak training aircraft.
The move comes after the company successfully integrated a new glass cockpit into the aircraft and sold units of the basic trainer to Nigeria (10 units), Qatar (8), and Turkey (52) over the past year.

The company is now adding intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities by fitting the aircraft with electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensor turrets, with one Super Mushshak already equipped with an L3 Wescam MX-10.
PAC chairman Air Marshal Arshad Malik told Jane's, "We have had several customers enquiring about integrating an ISR system; so we are looking at options.
"While sitting in the cockpit's right seat, the turret operator would control the camera and watch the video feed on the glass screen. At the same time the imagery could be downlinked to the battle commander on the ground. It's a very simple system," the air marshal added.
The second initiative is to arm the Super Mushshak. After initial aerodynamic and structural analysis, one Chinese-built 25 kg FT-10 precision-guided bomb (PGB) was mounted under each wing of one of the aircraft on 29 April.
Complete integration of the weapons is expected to take another three to four months, which will also cover the design and manufacture of the pylons, quality checks, flight test, and eventually a test drop.
The PAC chairman pointed out that to ease the pilot's workload, "PAC is in the process of incorporating servos for the autopilot, too". The newly designed system would assist the pilot in controlling the aircraft should there be any aerodynamic instability after dropping one or both bombs.
An expert at the PAC Kamra's design, technology, and integration department admitted that it would take some time to verify and physically validate the findings of aerodynamic analysis.

Amazing safety ... it landed on a ground without any damage to cockpit ...
A Pakistan Army aircraft on Thursday crash-landed on the outskirts of Peshawar, according to local media reports.

Dude,Stick with the topic that is mushshak.
Here we have another thread to explore Indian crashes. Unlike I too know that jf-17 was crashed but didn't post it here!
Please don't sit on fire.
Cheers...
For SM to be effective and competitive, it has to have the following options.@Quwa since SM can carry a payload of over 300kg. I wonder if they will arm it to carry more PGMs than just 2... 25KG PGBs?
1st: don't try to derail the topicwe produce this aircraft and have exported it to some dozen countries...there must be a reason for it's market.
million dollar pictures
1. Learn to digest rather than digress through heartburn.1st: don't try to derail the topic
2. If you want to discuss IAF crashes than jump to that Thread than I'll show your place.
3. MS is DEVELOPED from Saab Safari, isn't it?
4. You need to learn countings because there is more to go to reach a dozen. In total only 213 aircrafts were produced by 2016.
