Myanmar shows off Thunder fighters

Gareth Jennings, London - Jane's Defence Weekly

17 December 2018

The Myanmar Air Force (Tatmadaw Lay - TL) has received the first of up to 16 Pakistan Aeronautical Complex/Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (PAC/CAC) JF-17 Thunder combat aircraft it ordered in 2015, it was disclosed on 15 December.

At least four aircraft were shown on static display in a video posted online of an official airshow celebrating the TL's 71st anniversary. With the sale announced in 2015, images of the aircraft being flight tested at CAC's airfield in Chengdu were posted in June 2017. As recently as April, Jane's was told that PAC is building the aircraft for Myanmar, with testing being conducted by CAC.
 
I hope that Malaysia purchases 24-36 JF-17 Thunders from us, in-sha-Allah, Ameen!
 
A similar export version called C-802A was also developed and is being carried by PAF JF-17 as well as by MAF JF-17M. Iran reverse-engineered C-802 as Noor which can be carried by its F-4. C-802A can also be carried by the new FC-31 still in development. An improved version called YJ-83KH has been developed featuring an IIR seeker.

Up to two CM-400AKGs can be carried by an FC-1/JF-17. A small yellow dorsal antenna was installed probably to provide the datalink between the missile and the aircraft. It has yet to see if CM-400AKG will enter the service with PAF. A recent image (July 2016) suggested that the program was still making progress with JF-17 seen undergoing weapon integration tests, possibly to meet the requirement of a new customer (Myanmar?).
