Unveiling ceremony of 8 dual seat JF-17 Thunder Jets held at PAC Kamra

[StormBreaker]

Hopefully we should see it on 23 March.

Even though less probable as the machine is in its infancy, can we see block 3 flying and performing aerobatics on 23 ?

 

[StormBreaker]

Just imagine... a homemade EW platform.. can launch SOWs/SOMs... with future upgrades... boy, boy, boy...

Oh, and then there is NavalVariant... with SinkGanguzSink capabilities...

I say... Bravo!

Ohh, thanks for raising this,
@Windjammer , @Hodor Guys, what do you think, is B better optimized physically to overcome the raad shortcomings on Alpha ?

Brother mine,

While everyone is rightly excited about PL15... what everyone has overlooked is that Blk3 is a deadly NavalStrike platform with strengthen wings..it can carry powerful AShM a la J10C!!!

Do Research on CX-1

Blk 2 can carry C802A too

 

[ARMalik]

Isn't it amazing that with every new JF-17 produced, the balance of air power shifts towards Pakistan. All those moves made by US for decades to keep PAF to bare minimum went down the drain.

Jumu'ah Mubarrak to all.

Confirmed. 2P-65 B is a dual seater and the first of 2019.

This would imply Pakistan has 64 single seat Block-2s.

If 2P-65B is the first aircraft rolled out in 2019, that means 17-601 (2P-63B) and xx-602 (2P-64B) were small batch production (SBP) aircraft.

So, there are a total of 28× JF-17Bs in pipeline.

50 Block 1 + 62 Block 2 + 28 Block 2B = 140.

These would cover 7× squadrons (5 already operational) + CCS.

I guess JF-17Bs would be distributed 4× aircraft per squadron.

CX-1 is too heavy for any aircraft in the light-to-medium category. But, keep an eye on the HD-1A.

And, the enemy is losing one squadron after another - be they with MiG-27s or MiG-21s.

Now, their AF is calling for emergency buys.

This is the sole key to our happiness !!!!
Our PAF grows powerful every next month,
One day, A self-Grown Super Power will arise !!!

Yea, CX-1 is not for light category, i was saying that keeping brahmos in mind.
HD-1, could you expand on it ?

 

[Gryphon]

HD-1, could you expand on it ?

Check out the specs. Origin = China, range = classified.

 

[StormBreaker]

Check out the specs. Origin = China, range = classified.

When was this unveiled and is it in use with China?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Check out the specs. Origin = China, range = classified.

Lets not forget that Pakistan is also developing a supersonic cruise missile.

 

[Gryphon]

Zhuhai Airshow 2018.

This is probably export-only material like CM-400AKG.

Lets not forget that Pakistan is also developing a supersonic cruise missile.

For Navy, not PAF.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

Looks beautiful. Congrats.

Not sure if it mentioned anything about it being solely for the navy? Please correct me if im wrong.

Actually we have seen 601,602, 603 and 604 in PAF livery which mean 26+4=30 JF-17B in total as per current status in published articles and pics

Additional JF-17B produced or spotted in Pakistan other then current 8 JF-17B shown in roll-out ceremony are posted below, keep in mind the official photo release for the rollout ceremony of the latest batch of 8 JF-17B produced in Pakistan shows at least 10 JF-17Bs

17-601

602[02] was also spotted in China dated 07-12-2017

but we spotted the same in Kamra when Fakhur-e-Alam release the pics of his recent visit to Kamra

03 in Pakistan (Date 12-09-2018)

In my opinion 03 is 19-603 shown in official livery of PAF with other JF-17B

Pic attached below predates the roll-out ceremony and was taken in Pakistan and was released in 2019

and last one 19-604 in China

19-604 during roll-out ceremony behind the 2P-65B

so all in all as of today we have 12 JF17B and 18 more [14 in 2020 + 4 in 2021] will join so we will have 30 JF-17B in total

therefore Final tally would be:
Blk-I ---- 50
Blk-2 ---- 50
Blk-2 ---- 12 [additional]
Blk-2B --- 30
Blk-3 ----- 02 [would be produced in year 2020]
Total --- 144
