Haven't been following.
Can someone confirm it is using Guizhou WS-13 or RD-93MA?

The PAD should wait till the WS-19 engine is available, IMHO. At a 120 Kn max thrust, it’s a significant enough upgrade that it’s worth the hassle.

Beautiful Illustration of what we will witness in near future!
J-10CE and JF-17C flying together over Northern Pakistan. With similar armament & technologies but differing flight performance, the duo will compliment each other to form strong deterrent aerial defence of Pakistan.

AFAIK still the standard RD-93, not the MA and surely not a WS-13.

Thanks a lot for the info.
though it will be disappointing.
Unless China has bought a large number of RD-93's, a more powerful and efficient engine should be used to give more t/w.

That would also mean, the airframe is almost same as block 2, except may be nose cone.

Alleged picture of a JF-17 Thunder Block-IV model which appears to have some kind of stealth characteristics along with internal weapons bay.

This doesn't look like a real picture, and if it is, then the editor did a whole lot of post processing.

I didn't say the weaponry wasn't, just pointed out to the picture.

These are merely enthusiast models. Don't take them seriously.
