This is not an accurate model as it does not have the hinges on the canopy..A JF-17B wind tunnel model on display at an aviation museum.
It doesn’t have petals on the nozzle either, or flaps and slats for that matter.
The canopy isn't transparant either
Not just that it uses one engine to the J-20's two, the JF-17 has a single medium class engine while the J-20 holds two heavyweight engines.
Someone please put J-10 in the middle
PAKISTAN RAISES SECOND SQUADRON OF JF-17 BLOCK III FIGHTER JETS
The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 Thunder Block-3, a state-of-the-art multirole 4.5/4+ generation fighter squadron, will be raised by the Pakistan Air Force and stationed in Karachi. This would be accomplished by reintroducing the number-plated and retired No. 8 "Haiders" Squadron into service. The upcoming months will witness the completion of the delivery, full induction, and operationalization of the twelve and a half Block III units, culminating in the raising of the main JF-17C Block III multirole squadron in the PAF's Southern Air Command, situated at PAF Base Masroor, Karachi.
Earlier, the No. 8 ‘Haiders’ Squadron had been tasked with (initially) maritime strike and later tactical attack missions in the Dassault Mirage VPA2/3 strike aircraft since 1983.
In January 2023, the No. 8 Squadron received a new number plate as the Pakistan Air Force is gradually retiring hundreds of Mirage III and V aircraft across multiple squadrons. These will be replaced with JF-17C and J-10C, which are a high-performance combination of fourth-generation plus fourth-and fifth-generation advanced fighter aircraft.
