"Ivchenko Progress design bureau's general designer Igor Kravchenko told AIN that the AI-222-25F is the first-ever Ukrainian engine to be fitted with an afterburner. “With its development, Progress has mastered reheat technologies, which we are now seeking to apply on a fighter engine in the class of thrust up to 44,000 pounds [20 tonnes],” he said. In its primary 22,000-pound (10-tonne) version, this engine could replace Russia’s Klimov RD-93 on the FC-1 and its Pakistan air force version the JF-17 Thunder"
Wondering if this mean there could be a third engine option for JF-17? If yes, This could possibly improve the viability of JF-17 on the international market. What do you guys think?

The AI-222-25 engine is about half the size and weight vs. RD-93 or WS-13, with inferior thrust/performance. I don't think they'd install such an under-sized engine made for smaller aircraft into the JF-17, unless if they made a twin-engine variant or something.

Hello, Feng.
Could you tell me the progess of 50 JF-17 being delivered to Pakistan?
How did this go?
I have not heard any thing yet.

Model of the indigenous J-11B are shown to be carrying anti ship missiles. After all, the J-11B was built to be a multirole fighter. PLAAF pilots are not trained to take different roles simultaneously therefore we haven't seen pictures of J-11B carrying PGMs.
