Saab 2000 would be able to share targets with both right?

I am not too sure.

A question, can currently JF17 and F16 share datalink?

Yes

Nope

Your information is not correct ,Link 16 is for F16 and other media`s are for other platforms all these data have centre points (AKA National solution Link 17 ) in a way both can share data but thru intermediare

Saab 2000 would be able to share targets with both right?

Both SAAB and ZDK can share vice versa with F17 and F16

The JF17 Thunder was designed with idea of progressive upgrade, which is why we can easily configure the updates to go from Block 1 to Block 2 easily

The structural changes in seating should be big change & engine. However those are coming in due time

Money is not wasted even with Block 1 becasue you have a fully functional Fighter Jet

Yh and block 3 will come up with better avionics and stuff like matching 4++ generation

We are having 8 AWACS for now. 4 Saab 2000 which are using Link-16 Data-Link they are working with our F-16's. other 4 AWACS are ZDK-03 from China Which use Link-17 Home Grown data-link uses same in JF-17 these AWACS are working along JF-17 aircraft's.

Am I missing something here or you mean by adding dual racks on outer wing pylons so it may be like 2 wingtips, dual racks (2 points on each =4) installed on external wing pylons, 2 internal and 1 on center line or are there additional 2 hard points except existing 7 (without dual racks).
