Am I right to assume by the reinforcements on the wing root that this display aircraft has been upgraded to block 2 standards or is a different, newer block 2 display aircraft?

As i said only some of the demo footage was released, one day we might get to view the full works.


The fire power demonstration started with a low level sonic boom by two Mirages flying over the range at supersonic speed. It was followed by formation fly past of frontline PAF fighter aircraft including JF-17 Thunder, F-16, Mirage, F-7PG & F-7P aircraft. Immediately afterwards, PAF's 'Eyes in the Skies' SAAB-2000 and Karakoram Eagle aircraft flew past the venue, dispensing flares. After the fly past, four F-7PG aircraft appeared on the horizon and dived on to the targets demonstrating multiple strafing runs. Later on, appeared at the range, four JF-17 Thunder aircraft, performing multiple strafing runs with pin point accuracy. In an impressive performance, two formations of four Mirage each, flying at extremely low altitude, demonstrated level weapon deliveries and obliterated the mock targets with precision. They were followed by four JF-17 Thunder aircraft for a pop up attack releasing 500 and 2000 lbs bombs with extreme accuracy. Then appeared F-16 Block-52 and demonstrated carpet bombing with each aircraft dropping twelve 500 lbs bomb, annihilating the targets completely. After the thrilling fire power demonstration of PAF fighter aircraft, the indigenously produced JF-17 Thunder, painted in the colours of National Flag, displayed breathtaking aerobatics. The audience were left spell bound to see the spectacular maneuvers of this aircraft, rightfully called “Pride of the Nation”. After the exit of JF-17 Thunder from the scene, 06 ship K-8 aircraft formation of “Sherdils”, the aerobatics team of Pakistan Air Force Academy, Risalpur appeared on the horizon. The spectators thoroughly enjoyed their aerobatics and showed their appreciation by clapping and chanting slogans. At the end of the ceremony, the Air Chief presented a painting of JF-17 Thunder aircraft to Mr Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Idiots in the media, those are not deorandal or Durandal weapons but Snakeeye bombs, meant for low level strike as the folding fins open to slow the trajectory of the weapon to keep the attacking aircraft out of harms way.
