JF-17s pilot

JF-17 is a symbol of Pakistan-Sino friendship,this partial 4th Generation aircraft is a low cost fighter/bomber aircraft.The picture shows a bit future JF-17 with refuling probe,PAF is getting refulers next year and initialy JF-17 and Mirages will have refuling facility then in 2010 J-10 too.
The future design and shape of Jf-17 will contain true bubble canopy (like J-10),new engine (very close to WS10 ie J-10 or Su-30s engine having thurst=22000 to 27000),it will have composite materials and may be some changes in tail design.
Also i have heard that PAF is adding two more hardpoints and increasing its wing span thus making it 4+ Geneartion fighter.
PS:This sketch contains JF-17 with serial no 07-107,which will be delivered till this December,and refuling facility in 2008 or in early 09.
