JF-17 block III Paksitan's Future 5th Generation Aircraft

JF-17 BLOCK III


JF-17 block III will be inducted in service of Pakistan Air Force near 2016, However they are still under Development.. They are supposed to be capable of  being  stealth. We can assume that this Multi-role Air craft is 5th Generation Air craft with stealth capability and can be compared to the Air Crafts like F-35 Lightning. So far the existence of JF-17 Block  III  is confirmed and induction is supposed to be in 2016. May be Engine could be replaced in block  III  and every existing feature gets improved.
