FC-20
Here you go .Twin seater FC-20 with CFT's and advanced avionics in PAF colors. Most noticable features are JF-17 style RWR (Rafale in this case ;), CFT's (F-16 blk 52's) Some thing on its spine (also F-16's) , IFF antennas, And something just below the canopy ( upper one from EuroFighter and lower one from F-16). Can anybody identify what they really are ?
Oh, and the new green Batti on its inlet ( F-16's yet again) .

NATO Tiger Meet Mirage 2000
Two seater JF-17 Photoshopped
This is how Eurofighter's canopy looks on Thunder.
It's RAFALE's canopy sitting on our thunder .
JF-17 Thunder is the brain child of PAF. Though CAC has been carrying out its development since a long time PAF officialy became a partner in 1994, during Nawaz Sharif's Tenure. Since, then Thunder has come a long way. What was first viewed as an aluminium box capable of firing BVR missiles and a 3rd Generation fighter, Thunder has evolved into a capable 4th Gen. fighter, Much better than any thing PAF currently has to fly. It has a great potential for further upgrades. It has already incorporated advanced features like DSI - intakes ( as on F-35 ) , LERX (Leading Edge Root Extention as on F-18) . Further sought upgrades include AESA radar , IRST, two-seater version for training and attack roles and rumored V-tail stealth Design .
This particular pic is my impression about Two-seater Jf-17. Again, The real one might not be the same .
P.s. : i prefer Thunder with Rafale's canopy. That's the most beautiful combination of above all. Another reason could be that in case of Eurofighter and Mirage 2ooo, i wasnt able to find pics with suitable lighting and angle. As u can clearly notice that the brightness of the first 2 canopies dont match with rest of plane's body .
Any comments are welcome.
