JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

one thing people are overlooking, we've not really seen an outwardly Block 3 JF-17B.

What i mean, the integrated ecm arrays, the maws etc, will the azeris be the first to debut a jf17b3b?

I've always said that the B version should have been up to Block 3 specs instead of basing it on Block 2 specs, the B and Block 3 were developed around the same time so not sure why this wasn't done.

Is the following possibility possible?

Pakistan's JF-17B3 production for Azerbaijan is not yet complete and cannot be delivered. However, Azerbaijan urgently needs to showcase it for political purposes. Therefore, Pakistan may transfer several JF-17B3s and JF-17Bs from its PAF fleet to Azerbaijan for use in parades and pilot training. Once Pakistan completes production of the JF-17B3s and begins deliveries, these PAF JF-17s will return to Pakistan.

Due to different countries' tactical systems, fighter jets require separate configurations of relevant subsystems. There should be some technical differences between the PAF's JF-17s and Azerbaijan's JF-17s.

I doubt it, this number of aircraft would amount to a pretty significant portion of Pakistan's block 3 fleet and with tensions with India pretty high I don't think Pakistan will send so many aircraft abroad.

I dont think so and it is highly unlikely.
@Deino Pakistan is middle of 2 war and it cannot afford to lend 1 let alone 9 of its jets to friendly countries. In fact, it would halt export to increase its unit and have much back up as much as possible against India.
 
Man I wish Pakistan had purchased the technology for the Mar 1 the Brazilians canceled the project after that sale to Pakistan it would have given a good base to further develop anti radiation missiles

Based on the lessons of the '5.7 air battle,' I don't think India will attempt to use the IAF to launch an attack on Pakistan again. At least, their pilots don't have the courage to do so before they get 'new toys.'

There is a type of weapon called the 'LD-8A Anti-Radiation Missile.' It is based on the PL-15 air-to-air missile platform. It integrates seamlessly with the existing PAF system, requiring no modifications, and is ready to use right after purchase.

Giving up 9 units assume Pakistan own used jets mean that it is almost 35% to 40% of its own Jf 17 b3. At this time it would be high unlikely and i dont think pak would this at this time as India never tend to learn there lesson infact india is purchasing more Rafale around 32 to 36. When there is a war or skirmish type of situation any country like Russia etc would halt exports and increase for local use. Anyhow, you said that Azharbhijan would require different type of support system for Jf 17 than why would they go for used one if they have to use Pak system than new ones will be better as it is reported that Pak is capable of producing up to 26 JF 17 annually.

Mirage; Our other SEAD platform apart being our main bomb truck and ALCM launch vehicle.
 
All the azeri jets have 24-xxx serials. It's likely they entered temporary service with PAF for testing and simply flying them all the way to Azerbaijan.

Not Really. They're not immediate death sentence. Theirs's a reason most variety of A-G munitions are integrated on Mirage

Yeah no, the reason they were equipped with so many A-G munitions is because they were our numerous platform until the JF-17s surpassed them maybe less then a decade ago they lack any modern EW suites to even have chance.
