there was akready avideo on youtube where the Malaysian pilot was being assisted by Pakistani crewman in flying the aeroplane.
that video is not turning up in the search and there is a lot of tejas videos that come up maybe because they have tagged JF-17 in their tejas videos

Best if we keep this deal under wraps to avoid high jacking by Indians.

 

[Irfan Baloch]

Indian youtubers are claiming that JF-17 is not joining the competition in Lima and Indian Tejas is going to perform unopposed

Mr. Prime Minister (Mahatir Mohammad),

Consider it done.
You can have Three JF-17's instead of 02.
Fly them around & let us know what you really think of our Bird.

Regards,
People of Pakistan

An old timer rural guy actually thinks Mr Mahatir is one of the best Pakistani leaders and is quite contented about his belief

Hope we get big orders around 100+.

The requirement is for 36 light weight multi purpose fighters at this moment.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

If one unit is $35 million then 36 planes means $1.26 Billion with support, logistics, weapons, training etc it might come out $2-4 billion.

Hi my friend any idea how much will they make out of setting up a Proton plant in Pakistan
Sorry just a offtopic Q as per the press conference of Dr MM one should do business even with your enemy around
So looks like he is a staunch business man doesn’t mind spending 2-4 billion on jets if he is
Milking double the amount from the car plant
Any input will be appreciated
Thank you

It depends on how well Proton does against Suzuki, Honda, and Toyota. In theory, Proton could make hundreds of millions a year, but it isn't as if Pakistan's auto-market is easy to crack. It's huge with lots of potential, but in the end, dominated by a few with far deeper pockets and experience than Proton.

I'd try to get a Pakistani company to set-up an aviation firm in Malaysia on the back of the JF-17. Basically, set-up a MRO site in Malaysia and employ Malaysians, but service Malaysian and third-party Southeast Asian aircraft. Employ the locals, but bring the FDI revenue to Pakistan.
