How do we get the card of PDF in pic ? .
Dude, that is my Health Insurance Card.

Well, actually its a sticker & I just stuck it on my Health Insurance Card.

I did a quick Photoshop Design taking the PDF logo & 3 of the Social Media logos at the bottom of the page. I then created a logo for YouTube & voila..., I give you a PDF Card :-) .

@Trailer23 2 Questions
1) is there possibility of a bigger badder medium multirole fighter that sits between JF17 and AZM??

2) Will PAC ever make it's own helos or a family of helos.

We've already done so much with so little available to us. Progress in Helicopter development is a major concern for me.

Old specs

1.67 equal 2062 km per hour ferry range on internal fuel 1800 with one centerline 800 liters perhaps 2000 km with 2x 1100 liters and 1x 800 liters 3000 km ferry range per Chinese , pac in the past had 1880 nautical miles ferry range so that almost 3500 km not sure what specs for ferry range anyway combat range for a2a is between 1200-1350 with all external tanks and 1000 km with all external Tanks and 700 km with one centerline tank

The big question is how much internal fuel has increased in block 3 if its 300-500 kg than it’s very impressive for a small fighter of 30k weight class, drop tanks will still be needed in most case for range extension but perhaps just one centerline will do with increase of its ~ 500 kg internal fuel

If anyone wants me to ask Questions on their behalf...please follow the steps:

1. Tag me - @Trailer23

Note: I will try my best to get all the Answers for you all, as one of the Engineers from Kamra promised me...somewhat of a Exclusive Interview on the last day. Lets hope he keeps his word.

Please don't make me ask them about the Grammar mistakes.

Apologies to @khanasifm as he had a list of Questions, but I had forgotten to read the post.

1. Internal fuel capacity increased?

2. Hardpoint load increased

3. New weapon list especially fro awc not necessarily Chinese

4. Weapon load configurations for various missions for example a2a, a2s, recon, oca, a2g

?. What’s is recon package same aselpod with data link to ground and other assets sharing picture /video

5. Internal Jammer/EW in Block 3 vs. Pods on older blocks ?

6. any new orders ? For example Azeri, etc - NO COMMENT

7. Chin new hardpoint can carry pods as well as bombs (if needed)?

8. Centerline hardpoint can carry Two PK-82 bombs like mirage can with extended Pylon?

9. What about the new f-7 SuperSonic drop tank test ? Is that now standard or adopted?

10. Can hardpoint 3 and 5 also or can be made to carry multiple bomb rack pylons ? So far seen only heavy single load besides drop tanks

11. Are 1100 litters drop tanks just used for ferry flight ? Or operational as well say a2a role...

?. Is a2a refueling problem NATO comparable ? Or just Russians standards.
Good luck with it
 
. . .
I was curious, if you will be visiting again today, do ask them about possibility of HMDS in block 3 or it will be introduced later on ?
This is one thing all of us ignore which will be quite a marketing boost if embedded.

I'm guess some of you must be anxiously awaiting for me to upload some pictures from Day 5 (Final Day) of the Air Show.

Rest assure, I will...tomorrow. Sorry guys, my Twins have been sick & I had to cut my day short there 'cause I had to rush back.

Anyways, though there were quite a few Questions asked earlier - there wasn't enough time for them to answer all.

Anyways, here are a few Questions answered...
Q2. Hard Point load increased?

Q5. internal jammer/ew in block 3 vs pods on older blocks?

Q7. chin new hardpoint can carry pods as well as bombs if needed?
A2. Yes

A5. No

A7. NO COMMENT
Add AESA please.
Finalized/Confirmed - NO LONGER BEING EVALUATED
Type being integrated - NO COMMENT.
Do Pakistani JF 17s Block IIs have PL 15 integerated on them as a BVR?
Is PL 15 being considered as a BVR for Block III?
Not just being considered, but already is featured.
Engine and PL-15
Already answered the PL-15 (above) & Engine will remain the same Klimov RD-93, and not the Chinese Guizhou WS-13.
ask about
- JF-17 SOW options other than REK,
- Particularly about the integration of H-series and RA'AD BTW about RA'AD I am sure they will chose no comment as answer
Ask both PAC & Rokestan about SOM on JF17.
I didn't get around to ask about SOW (Stand Off Weapons) from PAC due time constraint

However, Rokestan did mention that it was very much possible based on the Weight Limitations on the Jet. But bottomline, it can be done on the JF-17 (tailor made) for PAF.
Q1. Is there possibility of a bigger badder medium multirole fighter that sits between JF17 and AZM??

Q2. Will PAC ever make it's own helos or a family of helos.
I believe @fatman17 had already answered your questions...accurately. That's pretty much PAC's response.

Now I too had a couple of Questions of my own...
Q1. Was PAF considering AVIC's TK-31 as HMD?
A1. No - atleast not for the time being.

TK-31.jpg


Q2. ...and finally, I stressed again on the First Test Flight.
A2. Date is set, but unlike the 1st & 3rd Day - I didn't get a date this time around.

SPOILER:
Even though I was covering the rest of the Air Show as well, a couple of friends...who too were lingering around the PAC told me that some big meetings were going on these past few days between PAC/PAF & AVIC/Catic.

There was also a representative from COLT (COLT Aviation) having a meeting with some PAC personnel yesterday.

Its late. I'm tired. I'll get back to you all tomorrow, after Juma.
