PAF to induct JF17 Thunder Block III in 2016

Does any one have any details about the HMD that is likely to be adopted for the JF17??
 
What all other new hardware JF17 is getting for Block 3? One of the main upgrade needed for JF17 is, JF17 needs a better & a stronger engine.
 
It can't be BLK 3 in 2016 as i know, Features might be true. BLK-2 production has just begun and around 100 planes have to be manufactured first. 50 by Pakistan in 3 years and 50 to be supplied by China by the end of 2016.
BLK 3 work must have started but the aircraft will be delivered in numbers 60 by China from 2018 approx

All media in Pakistan work as blenders and choppers of news. They just want to make either panic or blend news of different categories to make news more SANSANIKHEZ

"Meanwhile, the Pakistan air force (PAF) has equipped two squadrons and a tactics training unit with its first 50 Block I Thunders. Four improved, Block II aircraft have now been accepted by the PAF and the remaining 46 are following at the rate of three per two months. Inflight refueling probes will be installed on the second half of this batch."

2017 is probably a better guess judging by these numbers..
 
Bot most probably it would be Chinese AESA. The name of the radar has been mentioned in JFT thread.

Hope it will be WS-13A with 100 KN (22,000 lbf) thrust with Afterburner. :pakistan:

Perhaps you are mixing it with report claiming that JF-17 is flying with WS-13 that came from a Chinese official at Paris Air show, what he was saying was that " JF-17 is testing/flying with WS-13 as test and evaluation back home, not at the show" PAF is not stupid to go to an air show with new unproven engine.

WS-13 is being tested and evaluated, the lab tests have completed as said is the same report and flught testing is underway. I guess we may see JFT Blk-III with WS-13. However what will be advantages in specs or performance remains to be seen.
