JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

Hello.
Just coming back from holidays.
Made a moto trip in Tyrol, in Austria and Italie from France. 3300 km in 2 weeks.
So wts that got to do with jf 17 newz, update and discussion....unless u pitched the jf 17 to the Austrian AF, and here to give us the good news.
 
😆 good catch
No problem sir.

When i see the french/french flags - its a dead give away. Then when i IP match - i see Bonplans IP. Either its him, his twin, or his wife.
Alternative being Indian in the real world - he may have been re incarnated. Bless him - if he behaves himself - we will let him drive......
 
What are those numbers near the nose? Doesn't it say 223? which wouldbe strange.
@Pakistan Space Agency
The two that landed in the UK are 23-319 and 23-323 with the latter having the tattoo art.

As only one had tattoo scheme at RIAT 2025, I am assuming the following photo was taken somewhere in Pakistan maybe as part rehearsal, Aviation photography?

This ISPR video shows 2?-303 in the same scheme as 23-323. I don't know if this was part of a different event in the past.

You didn't understand the exact question, the picture I quoted is rather blurred but the number on the nose is definitely "223" , even if you use a magnifying glass to view it.. But is the number on the tail different? It's too blurred for me to read. Still the plane is clearly a block-3 so "223" on the nose makes no sense...does it? Was it written by mistake at one time then corrected or is the picture itself suspect?

Why do you assume that only pictures of lower serial numbers can be missing and not higher ones? For example.... If 321 & 322 can exist without any picture then why not say 324 & 325? This is related to the same question I asked once before that what is the basis of assuming PAF order of 30 blk-3 wasn't completed and stopped at 23 aircraft?

Are pictures the only basis or there's more?
