JF-17 Thunders Flying More Caps Than F-16s !

[Windjammer]

Despite some desperate Indians splashing their brains with ridiculous claims that PAF is supposedly facing some maintenance issues with it's JF-17 fleet, on the contrary it's now a fact that the JF-17s have systematically taken over ADA and CAPs duties from F-16s. Albeit, the F-16s in PAF fleet are much more capable platforms but due to in house production of JF-17s and their induction in ever increasing numbers and their effective SD-10 punch means that PAF can use them much more liberally thus more and more JF-17 flights are launched and witnessed to carry out ADA and CAP missions in all sectors.

Just like I predicted years ago. JF-17 is the backbone of PAF.

when can we see four BVRs

Dear an aircraft carrying half a dozen missiles presents an impressive site but then SU-30 can carry a dozen but it took just one AMRAAM to spoil it's day.

Still would love to see dual tracks for BVR.

It's like the duration of the marriage of a virgin girl - a day or a decade doesn't matter...

Makes Sense, F 16 is being used as Air Superiority Fighter, its upkeep is higher than Thunder.
With Thunder being in the house and a capable platform, Pakistan can save important hours on the airframe.

Meanwhile in India: Sajeesh hai yea. F16 per thunder ka sticker lagaya hai

Seems like many people have starting call the JF-17, “Jeff”. Any indication the PAF unofficially or officially acknowledge the nickname?

Jeff seems like a good nickname, to keep the bird in the minds of global defense community and more importantly potential buyers.

This name has nothing to do with Pakistanis and certainly not with PAF, it was given by some angreez while reviewing it in DCS World Simulator and people really liked it so now its becoming quite common.

Funny thing is JF-17s introduction in DCS has done more marketing (not in terms of sales ofcourse) for it then PAF ever could,and westerners have become its fan..

Good to hear, we are relying more on the homegrown hardware. More Sorties meaning more and more Thunders available after each passing day.
