JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

The block-1 was BVR capable from the first production unit - the issue was not Radar or otherwise to not seeing aircraft with missiles but more so along the lines of stock procurement and storage. Your information is incorrect and unfounded.

I have not seen a single credible post by @MastanKhan till date. He's known to write stuff out of his butt. Block 1's are BVR capable. Its not done recently or even in 2015. Its right from the start (2010). Remember we are talking about Block-1s and not talking about its development / super 7s or even the prototypes. We are talking about around 3 squadrons of block-1s.

Its quite possible very first units may not be integrated with SD-10s. Remember the very first batch that PAF received was of 08 units. But nobody is talking about the first few units.

If someone wants to talk about first 8 units then they have to specify that.
