Nice ... with the PL-12 double rail ... however I would be more interested in a close up image of the model in the right corner !

Taken at CATIC during the Serbian defence minister's visit recently. These are all export products, there's not much we can deduce about FC-31's progress for the PLA themselves.

A JF-17B without the pitot !!!
A new one or one of the previous two modified?

If you look at the scaled down model with Pl 12 dual racks, there is no pitot there as well.. may be changed location?

 

[Deino]

Pardon, I missed to add a reply here too ... 02 had the pitot missing all from the beginning even during maiden flight, so nothing unusual since no operational JF-17 hasa pitot.

I'm however surprised why 02 sometimes got a metal radome + pitot in between??

 

[Saad Farooq]

Must be for some test equipment.. and further sensor mountings..
