JF-17/FC-1 Fighter Aircraft thread

Has anyone noticed that the fuel tank pylons are different between Block 2 and 3? Possibly just an updated pylon design which is compatible with previous blocks too. Also, the drag chute door profile on block 3 also seems less pointier compared to previous blocks.

Good catch! Very interesting little details, wonder how much performance they’re gaining from changing these

Does anyone know if the PAF intends to upgrade the block 1-2 single seat airframes with block 3 tech?

But frankly spoken ... this site is not really a reliable nor credible one!

Eventually... It's a no-brainer

But to what degree I wonder, HMD + PL-10 seems likely, WS-13E, but what about the KJL-7A?

You can’t retrofit a liquid cooled radar without significant internal alterations. They will have to go with air cooled AESA so no KJL-7A.
