Stealthy Jf17 block 2 its maiden flight

2014-02-16T18:45:00.000+05:00

This design incorporates the idea of affordable stealth as the small size of jf17 does not allow the placement of an internal weapons bay. Though the decrease in range can be accounted for by IFR . So this prototype of jf17 has to carry weapons on the external pylons. A Jf17 carrying A2A payload will have relatively small profile as compared to A2G payload, and will pose a major threat to enemy forces.

JF-17 c Block II

[BBN-Defence Reporter] Jf-17c Block II seen here at a PAF air base.

Jf-17, though considered to be a small and agile fighter, has to be the work horse of PAF and that means adaptability to all kinds of Missions and scenarios . Short Range of Jf-17 has been taken care of by adding CFTs, which increase the fuel carrying capacity by 35 %.

Much work has been done on integrating advanced weapons on this new block of JF-17. As is shown here, a fully armed JF-17c with 2x 2000 lb LGBs, 2x Meteor AAMs , 2x Pl-9 AAMs and targeting pod.

Upgradation of avionics sure was of utmost importance. Visible exteriorly are a new IFF, and IRST and a new AESA Radar, indicated by that breech just behind the Radome .

Attack Varient JF-17

2014-02-14T02:33:00.000+05:00

As a Two seater JF-17 has to be developed for training and attack purposes, we'll have to wait till the first batch of 50 aircraft is out. That might be some time around 2012.

This is my Presentation of the Attack version of Jf-17 . Wondering , no bombs ? Well, Stay Tuned _______

JF-17 carries out new Meteor missile tests in Kamra

2014-02-13T03:28:00.000+05:00

BBN- Defence Reporter- : Jf-17 Thunder is the first fighter aircraft in Asia, which has air-launched the Meteor missile. The first Air Launched Demonstration firing took place in 2010 and was followed by several important flight test campaigns during the year.

Meteor is a European collaborative programme between the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Germany. The missile is planned to be the primary BVR air-to-air missile for all the modern European fighter aircraft; Gripen, Eurofighter and Rafale.

[Editor's Note: As the serial no. of This JF-17 shows that the pic is from 2010, but the no. 166 seems to be a typo. ? . As it was stated that the first batch of Jf-17 will comprise of 50 aircraft, the serial no. should have been 266, showing that it is the 66th aircraft from 2nd batch. Dont know why PAC would make such obvious errors. o.O ]

A J-10B prototype takes a test flight. (Internet photo)

The J-10B — the upgrade version of China's J-10 fighter — recently entered service with the People's Liberation Army, with its designer Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group already developing the more advanced J-10C, reports the Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television.

Equipped with an active electronically scanned array radar, Phoenix Television stated that the J-10B has the capability to take out Japan's F-15J fighters if an aerial confrontation were to occur over the disputed Diaoyutai islands (called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China) in the East China Sea. The fighter is also built with radar absorbent material and better diverterless supersonic inlet, while its stealth capability has also been increased compared to its predecessor, the J-10A.

China is the only nation in the world which has the ability to build its own diverterless supersonic inlet other than the United States, the report said. With this technology, the J-10B is believed to be the best 4.5 generation fighter in the Asia-Pacific region. Its helmet-mounted display system designed for J-10B pilots reacts faster and it is also very similar to the US-built F-16E/F Block 60 and French-built Rafale.

However, the J-10B is primarily designed as a fighter for aerial engagement. A multirole fighter will be needed for China to conduct ground attack missions as well as aerial combat missions against potential enemies in the region and therefore the PLA Air Force and Navy Air Force will need the more advanced J-10C, Phoenix Television said.

China's fourth-generation stealth J10C born in Chengdu shock: U.S. imperialism terrified

　　Recent U.S. military rebellion: fly into China has developed the latest improved J10 - J10C fighters. The successful development of such fighters as early as expected the U.S. military, because the J10 aircraft from its official public official is already fielded dozens of front-line troops stand much.

　　J10C equipped with more advanced radar equipment, the radar has greater than the J10 radar detection range and the ability to simultaneously track 12 targets and hit one of the biggest threats to six goals. Its cockpit is set up more advanced domestic diffraction HUD. In addition J10C In addition equipped with more advanced air to air missiles in the moment PL12 will be equipped with more advanced PL-13 remote air missiles, and this has the ability anti-missile early warning aircraft. The installation of a laser-guided pod J10C, but also to launch a variety of laser-guided bombs, to further improve the precision strike capability against ground fighters.

　　J10C and J10 have a large difference in appearance, which uses a more sophisticated inlet design, originally because of the installation of a larger thrust engines designed for six additional bone ribs will cease to exist, replaced by a more streamlined design. In addition to the inlet, the biggest difference J10C and J10 appearance is that, J10C also *** F16E as the installation of a similar "hump Falcon" two king-size fuel tanks.

　　In this regard the United States was not surprised that the United States believes J10 fighter design success lies in its fully digested and absorbed the advantages of F16 fighters, so J10C and F16E adopt similar practices designed to increase the range is not surprising. J10 fighter's overall performance has exceeded the F16A / B, and J10C fighter's performance is like with a dial-around as rhenium Shite man, and has exceeded all models F16, one of the main active duty U.S. warplanes. But the U.S. also believes that due to the J10 aircraft engines still have to rely on Russia, so Russia's J10C only uses the latest improved AL-31FN engine.

　　The United States further noted J10C the successful development of China's significance lies not only J10C fighter itself, but rather as an important mission to China in its fourth generation fighter validation machines! It is reported that, J10C using stealth coatings, infrared suppression and many other stealth technology to reduce the amount of infrared radiation, and radar reflectivity, and before the U.S. military successfully developed a fourth-generation fighter F35, is also the first in the F16E fighter stealth design validation work carried out, and Russia launched the S-37 Golden Eagle aircraft also served the same task. So J10C successful development indicates that China's fourth-generation fighter JXX true also about to take off!

　　Australian air force official blog magazine recently wrote, the exposure of the appearance and performance data of China's carrier-based aircraft J-10C, where landing roll distance reduced to less than 50 meters.

　　The article points out that these data show, J-10C carrier-based aircraft and J-10 fighter series are almost identical, only the thrust increased from 122 kN to 152 kN, sliding distance shortened to less than 50 meters. Like with J-10, J-10C in addition to maintaining normal levels of the carrier aircraft flight, there is sufficient force to meet the needs of a variety of combat mission execution, and thus, J-10C acceleration, climbing and have been circled, etc. increased dramatically, even into combat mode vertical rise effortlessly.

　　The article said, J-10C carrier-based aircraft operator controlled by a weapon, and is responsible for precision strikes. J-10C can carry 4 tons of ammunition, and the future will be equipped with precision-guided weapons. In addition, the carrier aircraft may also have ground attack capability

Mig21

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (Russian: Микоян и Гуревич МиГ-21; NATO reporting name "Fishbed") is a supersonic jet fighter aircraft, designed by the Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It was popularly nicknamed "balalaika", from the aircraft's planform-view resemblance to the Russian stringed musical instrument or ołówek (English: pencil) by Polish pilots due to the shape of its fuselage. Early versions are considered second-generation jet fighters, while later versions are considered to be third-generation jet fighters. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants).

Dubai Air Show amazed with JF-17 Thunder

2013-11-24T04:36:00.001+05:00

ABU DHABI: Outstanding skills of Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder aircraft won big appreciation by the participants present at the Dubai Air Show.

The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) pilots of JF-17 Thunder amazed the huge audience including locals and authoritative crowd when the fighter jets demonstrated skills via maneuvering high up on the tail and rolling in air.

Super Mushshak also presented the super aerobatics in the show and won big applauses by the crowd.

Dubai Air Show provided an international platform to at least 200 companies across the Globe willing to exhibit their aviation products and aircrafts.

The PAC JF-17 Thunder, or CAC FC-1 Xiaolong, is a light-weight, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft developed jointly by the Pakistan Air Force, the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and the Chengdu Aircraft Industries Corporation of China.

Pakistan’s Three JF-17 Thunder and Super Mushshak participated in the Dubai Air Show.

The country is expected to export at least five fighter planes as well as getting more orders during the air show.

Turkey Gets It, Acquires F-35s. Obama Administration Doesn't.

2013-11-20T01:34:00.000+05:00

The Turkish government understands what the Obama Administration does not: Acquiring the American-made F-35 fighter jet is the most effective way to claim supremacy of the skies.
Yesterday, Turkey’s Defense Industry Implementation Committee announced the purchase of two Lockheed Martin F-35s. Turkey had put its F-35 order on hold in March over concerns of technology sharing and cost. However, the recent announcement suggests that Turkey is preparing itself for the increasing challenges that its neighborhood poses.

It’s unfortunate that the Obama Administration has failed to register the message. In addition to canceling production of the F-22, a stealth fighter jet built to ensure U.S. supremacy over any battlefield, the Administration has reduced production of the F-35, which American taxpayers have invested $50 billion in. As the first aircraft in history with a 360-degree view and the ability to see over 800 miles with integrated combat systems, the F-35 is a marvel of modern engineering.
In a time of austerity, critics of F-35 production argue that the jet is too expensive. Yet what they disregard is that the cost of plane decreases as production and sale of jets to allies increases. As part of the international F-35 consortium, British Defense Minister Phillip Hammond expressed concern over the cuts to the program yesterday, citing the likelihood that costs of the jet will increase if there is reduced production.
Rather than limiting production of the F-35 and cancelling its brother, the F-22, the Obama Administration should invest in the potential these jets offer to U.S. air capabilities and to our allies. Gutting the defense budget makes Americans and our allies less safe. A first step to remedying this is to take the F-22 and F-35 off the chopping block.
