JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

Why in airshow JF17 is mostly if not always with fuel tanks?
Because the 23rd March show isn’t just a show - it’s actually a practice for a coordinated package.

Every aircraft you see there usually is coming from their home bases or at least not Chaklala. Which means much like an actual coordinated package you could have JF-17s from Peshawar, Mirages from Shorkot, J-10s from Kamra and F-16s from Sargodha all flying into a pre rehearsed initial point with coordinated “Time on Target” to show up exactly as they do in sequence overhead.

This means aircraft from Peshawar will be at their range limits if they come in clean so drop tanks give them loitering time in case something is needed to be changed.

The only aircraft flying out of Nur Khan would be solo display jets.

Do we know how many new JF-17s were manufactured in 2024, or older JF-17s modified to block 2 or 3 standard ? What is the updated total number of each block till date ?
