Some screen shots of probe
This looks like a fixed probe---?
The aircraft looks modern---impressive with the probe---.

Hi,
You are correct---the hard point should be under the nose---. As the pod be used on maybe 1/3rd of the aircraft---that would not effect the air to air combat.

China to equip PAF Fighter Jets with World's most lethal Radar System....
"BEIJING - will upgrade Pakistan Air Force JF-17 fighter jets with a world-class radar system that will substantially improve the combat capability of the aircraft, Daily reported quoting a top Chinese radar researcher on Wednesday.
Hu Mingchun, head of the Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology in Jiangsu province, said the KLJ-7A active phased array radar will give the JF-17 many advantages in an aerial combat."

Pardon ... even if I admire that type, its technical merits I absolutely hate such stupid headlines: 
"World's most lethal Radar System ... KLJ-7A active phased array radar? ... come on, as if other latest and most modern radars are useless??
Like I always try to point so often: I do not want to derate the JF-17 and its systems but in order to be taken seriously one should avoid such BS and should stay realistic. Otherwise it is nothing more than an ill-informed piece of propaganda and I think here at SDF we should ovoid this.

Again, I do not want to down-rate its capabilities, but anyone to assume the KLJ-7A is better than the radar installed in the J-10C, J-16, J-20 or the most modern Western types cannot be from this earth. Therefore the term "World's most lethal Radar System" is simply more advertisement than fact.
times of Islamabad is a online tabloid famous for the re-circulation of known news and stories with sensational headlines. Its a source not to be trusted

Without caring what the report says, the photo is beautiful and good enough to be my desktop wallpaper.

I think possibly it meant the most lethal Radar system of its class (size)

But what would that even mean?
Lethality is a pretty weird metric to judge radar performance with, unless they were thinking of using the radar to zap birds or ground crew.
But I think far too much time and effort has already been spent talking about a rather silly article, so let’s all move on.
