Pak / BB settled for soybeans, $700+ Million was repaid in supplies to Pak. If you don't like the outcome then please take it up with BB for accepting the soybeans, US delivered the 14 odd used by USAF Aggressor. The ones used by USN were flown like no tomorrow and were prone to sea water...
Come on now man, enjoy the role out celebration of JF-17-IIB, leave rest out of it. No one in the US slightly bothered by this, PAF still needs F-16 Parts, PAF still eyeing more F-16s (used and new,) hold is not going anywhere for long time.
I do wonder if PAF is going to adopt darker paint job...
Congratz guys, nice addition to JF-17 family, awesome churn out rate. I don't think JF-17 order requires it to reach GD's peak churn out rate of 284 in 1987. A steady rate of 12/16 per year should be sufficient for production to keep up with induction into PAF squadron.
Suppose to be 12 extra produced, so 62 Block II Alphas produced, ( minus 2 to replace the lost units. ) so the inventory count should be 60 Block II Alphas.
