I see under intake near the gun j10 style pylon attachment point ?? https://www.google.com/search?q=j-1..._AUICSgB&biw=320&bih=460#imgrc=mZNx83llzEJcRM:

More like ftc-2000https://www.google.com/search?q=ftc-2000+pylons+attachment&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=sinv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiH-YrWvsHUAhWFNj4KHQwIDKgQ_AUICigC&biw=320&bih=460#imgrc=jAOqoAWvpJ-GkM:

Some professional closely zoom under the intake please, it seems to be a J10 style hard point

A slight difference between J-10 and FTC-2000 is the location of attachment is just beneath the intake the proper way like in western fighters, where as in FTC case it seems to be a make shift arrangement. But if it works properly then no harm in it. This type of hard point usually are able to carry limited weight but enough for pods.

Apart from these Myanmar thunders. Can any body explain me if a engine service life before first over haul is 8-900 hrs how it comes in around 7-8 years. If the aircrafts fly 3-4 hrs daily in two flights minimum then around 120 hrs it flies in a month and in a year it comes out 1400-1450 hrs then it should complete it's life much before a year. Is the flying hour is more than an hr. I have no idea plz any body clarify my confusion .

Hi,

The flight time would be around 2-2 1/2 hours---. Te oxygen reserve is 3 1/2 hours. The aircraft don't fly every day---but rather 4-5 times a week---!!!!

JF17 shot down Iranian UAV inside Pak border.
It's a good lesson for many, that UAVs could be brought down.
It's first kill of JF17.

I am just curious if engine life cycle time. If it's 800 hrs how you distribute or manage in 7-8 years. Even if 200 hrs are logged in a year or less, even them max 4 years comes out to be the max usage time. Plz explain

 

[Chak Bamu]

If life of air-frame is longer than the engine life, then of course aircraft would go through more than one engine change in their life-time.

Hi,

I think the life is more than double of what you wrote.

Yaar fighter pilots r less. Transport aircraft kae pilots koo na compare karoo, then helicopter kae alag pilots hain, kuch deportation per hotay hain, training academy have much high flying hrs obviously.

They dont fly as u r imaging. I am near jf-17 base and i can assure u they dont fly round the day and for 7 days a week. 2-3 break days, sometimes lot of flying and sometimes just a few flights a day.

Mostly one day break every weak aka MAINTENANCE DAY...and they fly a lot believe me

Apart from these Myanmar thunders. Can any body explain me if a engine service life before first over haul is 8-900 hrs how it comes in around 7-8 years.

4 hours in 2 flights means 2 hours/flight which usually doesnt happen..most flights are of 1 hour max
