Similar configuration to LCA, except for the cannon and a targetting pod near the fuselage, both of which are missing in JF17. What is the capacity of each hardpoint?

Cannon

One internal GSh-23-2 twin-barrel 23-mm [ [MILAVIA Aircraft - Chengdu FC-1/JF-17 Thunder Specifications MILAVIA Aircraft - Chengdu FC-1/JF-17 Thunder Specifications ] ] cannon has been installed on JF-17, which can be replaced with a 30-mm single-barrel cannon.

hardpoint for targetting pod is missing bt 1 is expected in the 2nd block lets see.

About load capacity of each hardpoint...Older figure before the test with 150-200% more payload.exact figure of the new each hardpoint capacity is nt known

older figure is 1ton

The above video is Mr. Yang Wei, director of the JF-17 and J-20 projects, presenting the JF-17 to the media at Dubai Airshow. For those that are interested in various sub-systems on the aircraft, Yang explains the radar, cockpit, powerplant, targetting pod and EW suite individually. This one's a bit of a rare gem, since he did the entire thing in English.

EFT and JFT

A small mistake on your part here. JFT is listed under the heading potential adversary, not potential options.

JFT is listed under "POTENTIAL ADVERSARIES".

Link : Definition of adversary - rival (British & World English)

This means Canada thinks "JF-17/FC-1" can be their potential Enemy they may have to face in near future, in simple words Canada thinks Pakistan is their Enemy and then may have to annihilate when time comes. But Rafale, EFT or even Grippen will be a over kill against a Air Force dominated by Mig-21 Clones and 2nd hand 4 century old Mirage III/V.

Radar hotspots on aircraft being captured by the JF-17's radar. F-22 is detected at 30 Km while F-16 at 120Km.

Would you like to see a pic of LCA going against the Death star? I can make one.

The pic is just showing what the radar can do against stealth targets and the well known F-16 type aircraft.

Oh really!!! So pakis & chinese know RCS for F22 :shocked:

More or less. The Americans did reveal it publicly. Not a number, but an estimate. More than enough to estimate the range at which a JF-17/F-16 level radar can detect the F-22.

Won't it be shot down much before it can detect F-22?
