Pakistan Air Force prepares for arrival of final Block II JF-17 and JF-17B fighter aircraft

[Trango Towers]

But before Teja's Mk.1As start getting AESA's the Rafale-F3 would already have been inducted. The French fighters are expected next month. They will have the Thales RBE2 AESA radars.

It takes time to get them operational

Fingers crossed. let us see what is delivered; we are approx 1 yr away from seeing it.

Bets - will it look like jf-17b or evolution of jf-17blk1/2 overall - speaking in terms of sillouette

To admit, a plain stupid report:
That image labeled as "JF-17 Block 3 Concept Design" is nothing but a fan art; we all know there was never a design like this for Block 3, The same is for the text, which is wrong too and the second image also is wrong, since it is NOT a YJ-12.

So IMO simply forget that ...

After googling I found the following ...

"Tejas is a type of energy or vitality that has a long history of power and spirituality in the Hindu religion. It is considered one of the qualities of the Hindu gods.

The concept of tejas relates to the individual’s inner fire or illumination, which can be utilized to gain more spiritual benefits from yoga or any other type of meditative exercise as well as guides our development and enhances our perception of the world."

It probably levitates from time to time. But it doesn't do so frequently it seems. It was conspicuous by it's absence during Feb'2019 encounter, just like the Fulcrum.

 

[Thorough Pro]

By this definition, every stinky should be called Tejas as they all have a fucking fire at their rear end

They are going to be sensored

Till date 6 of it's Jaguars have been reported as upgraded to the DARIN III status with Israeli Elta el/m-2052 AESA radars. This was reported a while ago. Till then all is quiet on the matter.

Also the next iteration of Tejas i.e. Mk.1A will also sport an adapted version of the Elta el/m-2052 AESA called Uttam. The current iteration is Tejas Mk.1 which sports the Israeli Elta el/m-2032 radar and it is not an AESA.

Darin made the aircraft heavy so needs another engine..ops..thats not happening ...so seems ita going to be scrapped
