Block 2 will have chin hardpoints for targetting pods thats nice

 

[silent hawk]

Would addition of AESA mean re-integration of weapons?

AC khalid Mehmood Interview

Block 2 have improvements in radar, EW system and flight time

Block 3 will have better engine, AESA radar, new EW system , HMD, IRST and additional weapon station

PAF is happy with RD93 .. but there is room for better engine if customer wants to install EJ200 or any else in same league

JF17 B (dual seater) development have been started and will be revealed next year .. .

JF17 have inked first export deal

Is this export deal that was announced in the Paris Air Show? Has this buyer been revealed yet?

Buyer isn't revealed officially

This is confusing , When he says that a 4th squadron of Blk2s will be raised within this year , was he talking about the no.02minhas squadron ? since the 5 blk1s at CCS are regarded as the 3rd jf-17 Squadron. But the no.02minhas squadron received blk1s ?
This interview is taken in June, no.02minhas raised in September.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
anyway here is what i personally think is going on ....
As of Now .....

1. We have 3 squadrons of Jf-17s Blk-1s , no16Squadron (black panthers) ,no.26Squadron (black Spiders) and no.02Squadron (minhas)

2. 5 blocks1s aircraft at Combat Commander Schools , which are borrowed from the 3 squadrons and rotated with time. This isnt considered an official squadron i guess

3. 4th Squadron to be raised this year of Blk-2s ( 4 have been already produced uptil june, 14 more on the way )

زبردست.......

[Total Destruction]

Most interesting news is about the WS-13 or to be named WS-17 for JF-17 will have 1000 hrs of engine life with 9300 kg of thrust that means 9300 x 2.25 = 20925 LBs of thrust as against current 19575 LBS. The Paris airshow PAF reveled more sharp maneuvers with RD-93 now in Blk-3 must be more maneuverable than earlier blks.

 

[aftab_s81]

Is there any possibly to involve private sector for the development of JFT?
