chinese STATE OF THE ART inflight refueling probe!!!!!!!!!That looks like a pipe bend over, drag ..
one more interesting observation, their IFR is too close to glass canopy.
NO @sayareakd , as it seems to be equivalent to Rafale at least by looks. It will look beautiful, bright & shiney on radar
This IFR is not same as shown here.
So JF 17 will not have retractable IFR as shown in second pic.
Mirage 5 is to be repaced now...NO @sayareakd , as it seems to be equivalent to Rafale at least by looks. It will look beautiful, bright & shiney on radar
its fixed, not enough space for a retractable IFR.

its not fragile as it looks, the angle looks closer to the cockpit, to reduce RCS, but an IFR rarely does that.one more interesting observation, their IFR is too close to glass canopy.
Here the same on LCA
and on Jaguar
if the basket which put fuel in IFR shakes then it will hit glass canopy in JF 17.
You are correct it is a cosmetic arrangement prone with danger for the pilot and aircraft,one more interesting observation, their IFR is too close to glass canopy.

With 50 JF17 how it can be backbone today?hey DAZZLER
which aircraft is the backbone of your Airforce? f-16 or jf-17
Basket which will refuel will hit canopy if moved slightly to right. Plus not very good idea to have fuel coming close to engine in flight.You are correct it is a cosmetic arrangement prone with danger for the pilot and aircraft,
In tejas and Jag it is very far away from the pilot's face, but it is so close to pilot and the glass canopy in JF-17,
Refueling would be a very dangerous job,
you never know what they thinkWith 50 JF17 how it can be backbone today?
The JF-17 you quoted as 1296 km/h is the top speed at sea level(for tejas it is 1350 km per hour),Is it true that JF17 has less speed then LCA ?
JF 17 Top speed: 1,296 km/h
LCA Top speed: 1,920 km/h
