Pakistan’s JF-17 Block III Fighter Jet Makes Maiden Flight

The maiden flight of the JF-17 Block III prototype reportedly took place at CAIG’s production facility at Chengdu-Huangtianba. Images of the aircraft’s take off show the JF-17 Block III armed with PL-5EII short-range air-to-air-missiles (AAMs).

According to an analysis by Jane’s, the new aircraft features a couple of additions over previous systems including a new wide-angle holographic head-up display and a new imaging infrared (IIR)-based missile approach warning system.
