Looks like PAF is extremely proud of this plane. Kudos to them. It's always a good thing when a country is proud of their achievements regardless of politics and what not. I see jf17 and her future variants serving the PAF with pride for many more decades to come.
Just like the f-16 if you have good bones, you will have a bright future.

A very neat answer to #2047!
Ashbringer_NEU, the Chinese and Pakistanis who designed this aircraft and have matched it with various weapons know what they are about.
This is not some sophomoric, first at bat exercise for either country.
If they mount the weapon on an aircraft in operation, it is because they have done exhaustive operational testing beforehand of all possible scenarios. And it is because they had in mind those very weapons as they designed the aircraft.
The clearances for the weapons, given their attachments on pylons have all been worked out long before.
Sometimes, particularly on the internet, people who are not aware of how these things are designed, developed, and implemented, and all that goes into that process, see a picture at oblique angles and jump to conclusions.
Here on SD we pride ourselves in trying hard to be a little more thoughtful than that.
The people designing these things really do not forget such obvious stuff.
If you have what is clearly a nubie question or concern...post it in the "Ask Anything Thread," and get it answered there first before bringing it to the main line threads.
The posts about these flaps are all being moved there. If you are looking for your posts regarding this...or want to discuss it more...do so there.
Back on Topic.

Interesting to see JF-17 update in AFM July issue 2015 page 5 just got my copy
Here a copy of the section
Interesting that they mention PT-05 at Chengdu which and been reported to have gone modification for a twin seater version and also WS-13 and who knows what other modifications they are working
I would be really interested to find out maybe they are doing Block III modifications on it too but surely there's a limit to how much they can get done on a single prototype
