Pakistani JF-17 Block-3 With Chinese J-20 technologies.
Description
The latest, powered up version of the JF-17 fighter jet reportedly features technologies from China's top notch J-20 fighter jet and made its maiden flight in December, as the plane co-developed by China and Pakistan saw major upgrades in electronic devices that will significantly increase its c0mbat efficiency, experts said.
With the serial number "3000," the first JF-17 Block 3 prototype was taken into the skies for the first time in mid December in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan Province.
According to photos circulated on the Chinese social platform, the aircraft is installed with many commercial off the shelf technologies from the state owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China.
These include a new and larger holographic wide angle head up display and integrated cockpit display similar to the one used by the J-20, in addition to an advanced infrared missiIe approach w@rning system used by the J-10C, J-16 and J-20 fighter jets.
Experts said the JF-17's flight performance and airframe design have been proven in its past service, but it can quickly improve if equipped with advanced electronic devices.
