JF-17 PFX program

PFX = JF17C++. All talk of airframe changes / larger airframes, are far off the mark.

If we can install CFT, move the gun to the over-the-wing location, add one additional HP instead of the gun, add extra fuel locations under the skin, update the avionics to full center fusion, and use RD 93MA or equivalent, you have PFX alpha. This is my understanding.

LOL - this "wish list will never happen"... the airframe structure is fixed and won't be changed as part of PFX.

What we can hope for is a better engine and a better avionics...
I wish for Conformal fuel tanks but it's just a wish...
I honestly hope PAF is working on those to free up some pylons...
Conformal fuel tanks something like on the F16s would be a major development...

stretched the body, place the landing gear outward, fit in CM400\large tank at center line.

stretched the wing, to bear cm802\YJ91 at middle pylon.

Pakistan is looking for a bigger fighter jet than Jf17 ie F16 style medium jet, this is what i believe they are working on, with more range, powerful radars etc so a new design is needed.

PFX supposed to be a medium weight fighter jet compare to JF-17 block 3 which is a light weight fighter jet. This was confirmed recently on an interview.
