pakistan has the most corrupt government in its history -- I am not sure of what paf will get --- jft-blk2 might not come initially with complete blk2 specs as paf might not afford them in the tenure of this present government-- nor any fc20 funds might be released by this government
right now pilot training and integration of probably the last 2 major weapons systems , i.e h4 [copy of raptor2] and raad cruise missile is taking place
the radar in blk2 might be an upgraded pulse droppler or later upgradable to aesa-- speculations still remain
engine change might difinately take place in blk3
composites in more quantity will be used in blk2
now that the 200% stress load test has been done, so you might see dual launch rails on blk1
blk2 will have a fixed ifr probe.. might be having irst aswell
2nd production line is being setup in 2nd aeronotical complex
comparison with gripen of jft blk1

------
certain missiles like sd10b etc might be gradually revealed to media
51 blk1 jft have been made--- 3rd squadron has not officially been declared and is due for the past 6 months
different sources are telling different stuff-- some say that blk3 jft would be very hi-tech , thus removing the need of fc20 -- thus saving money for j31 ---
first batch of 50 (51) jft blk1 was completed a while ago, most likely October/ November 2012

Raptor II = H4 ?
The longest ranged of these weapons is the Raptor. Originally developed with DoD funding, foreign investment has allowed the development of an improved version, the Raptor II, which is in production for the investor country. While the Raptor I is an unpowered PGM, the Raptor II is an ASM, with significantly greater range.
H-2 is the AGM, [perhaps version of raptor 1]
old pak def article
Citat:
"It is a widely circulated rumor among the PAF critics that Pakistan acquired South African MUPSOW, a multi-purpose, surgical-strike weapon, designed to neutralize enemy targets such as airfields, bunkers and command-and-control centres at standoff ranges. Pinpoint accuracy is achieved by using an advanced navigation and terminal guidance technology. It is also known that between 1996-98 Pakistan bought category A and B military hardware which includes sensitive major significant equipment, such as fighter jets and other large systems. Some sources also report that PAF was also testing South African Raptor I and II precision guided munitions which were designed based on Mirage III/Cheetah being the primary platform of launch.
Although identified as the DART pod, this appears identical to Rafael's LITENING pod. Other Mirage 5F upgrades included an integrated electronic warfare suite, on-board oxygen generation system (OBOGS), and single point pressure refueling. One of the key features of the ROSE upgrade was the induction of Italian FIAR Grifo-M radar, which is a copy of US made APG-68 radar. This gave these aircraft the capability of carrying BVR missiles. At the time Pakistan was interested in South African Darter series of missiles, which later on fell through due to sanctions imposed, by South Africa when military government took over after a bloodless coup.
