迪拜航展-2023 • 巴基斯坦空軍JF-17“雷電” Block-3 VS 印度空軍“光輝”MK.1A（靜態展示）

Good day everyone JF-17 Block 3 with an ESA radar in the nose is right behind me We have a clutter of weapon systems on my left starting from air to air, air to ground, air to sea as well They are smart weapons They are non-smart weapons as well This is a true 4.5 generation military fighter aircraft which is an excellent bang for the buck meaning thereby you get a lot of things within a very limited amount of financial resource Let me give you a quick roundabout of the weapon systems that are there First and foremost we have the Charlie 802 This is the air to sea version These are the practice bombs that we have which are done for exercises, not the real thing This is a fuel tank This is the C-802, the sea skimming missile This is a Mark 82 with an LGB kit in front This is a laser guided bomb This is how it converts a dud bomb or a non-smart bomb to a smart bomb This is the SD-10, the BVR that we have Beyond Visual Range Missile This is not the longest stick The longest stick is the PL-15 which we do not have right now The SD-10 as I mentioned This is the within visual range commodity of PL-52 version This is the within visual range as I mentioned This is the air combat, close combat And it carries a lot of potency as well You can see the streamlining of the aircraft, the wings itself It is truly a 4.5 gen aircraft again This is the CFD or the chaff and flare dispenser This is for self-protection suite We have the elevator, we have the good old RT-93 This is once again one of the propulsion systems We are switching this from WS-13 which is the Chinese version And this is modular maintenance capability We can switch the engines as well Same CFD on this side, we have that capability And obviously this is where we have the capability of protecting ourselves as well We have the RWR on top That is the radar warning receiver Which enables visibility on any lock and fire from adversaries aircraft This is the PL-5 pylon This is where the within visual range or air combat weapon is enabled and connected as well On this side of the wing We have all the non-smart weapons We have the Mk-82 and the Mk-83 We also have the Mk-84 here All of them are non-smart But if we put the LGB kit on it Just like we had on the other wing This becomes smart weapons as well A few practice bombs that are here And this is the tip of everything that we have This is the acyl part This is the Turkish part Which facilitates just like a lantern in an F-16 Facilitates the targeting capability and everything else We have the good old trusty ISA radar It is the KLJ-7A This is equivalent if not better to APG-68B-5 on the Block 52 And it's very important again We have the remove before flight tag This is the air-to-air refueling So it extends ranges of the JF-17 as well If I were to put this in a few words This is the future of PAF in relation to within visual range Beyond visual range as well as air-to-ground weapon capability It has the smartest of weapons In the 27th Feb 2019 It was used in stand-off weapon delivery capability As well as combat air patrol So this is where the Pakistan Air Force is heading And in comparison to what we've had before in the Block 2 This is the tip of the iceberg I'm standing in front of the LCA Tejas Mark 1 At the Dubai Airshow Welcome back This is the latest version of Program that's been developing since the 1980s And this is the product that you see behind me If you identify this This is an indigenous aircraft from the HAL or Hindustan Aeronautics Limited It has a nose with air-to-air refueling probe in front Considering weapons This is something that is of question right now Here in UAE They have two weapons One Altariq That is one weapon And then we have Altariq again This looks like something of a stand-off weapon With wings that can be exposed during flight This probably is a stand-off weapon And that on the other one is once again Altariq written on it That is a weapon of I'm not a 100% on it It seems like an LGB kit in front Something of a bomb or a smart bomb On the wing they have the Astra If I'm not wrong This is a mock-up of the air-to-air missile That they're wanting to develop Or they have developed Mark 1 once again This is a delta wing With a leading edge flaps that can be extended Trailing edge flaps as well It has its capability The self-protection suite We can see the RWR on the top That is available to us Length of antennas on the dorsal fin Right at the top That's also visible It's an American engine I think it is the GEF-404 And this is a very potent engine With a lot of redundancies put in place I think here we have the Drag chute deployment capability This is also available CFDs right at the back Chaff and clay dispensers Available to the aircraft as well It gives a good situational awareness If you look at the top The RWR sensors are both At the front and at the back Although a bit visible But they are available to the pilot For situational awareness also Same on this side We have leading edge flaps Trailing edge flaps Facilitating slow speed handling Slow speed maneuverability Of the aircraft as well Same Altaric weapons on this side We have the air-to-air weapon Or the mock-up of the same Other than this We have the centerline fuel tank The pylon fuel tank on the other And that is mostly it Considering the aircraft itself It's a heavy looking aircraft Something that has a lot of Potency or capability But has not been able to mature over time It's taken its due course It has been moved into the Regular Indian Air Force But it has its problems With the naval arm Or the naval aviation Or the naval air arm as well Which in the recent past Have not accepted this As a whole of an aircraft So Tejas right behind me It's once again a work in progress And it continues to grow As the time flows in I wish it the best of luck And certainly look forward To having more of it available Recently day before yesterday They had a glitch as well Where they took off Or the demo took off At Dubai Airshow And had to land Circle and land back Due to some emergency as well So that was disheartening to see Not to have the Tejas flying At the Dubai Airshow as well And with that Thank you for your time Have a good one Look around Cheers
