JF-17 wins first export order By: GREG WALDRON PARIS Source: a day ago The Chengdu/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 Thunder fighter has secured its first confirmed export deal. “A contract has been signed with an Asian country,” says Air Commodore Khalid Mahmood, the Pakistan air force...

Expecting PAF to get 18 more block 52s then....... if only the economic situation was better.

Was there any need for a new thread for this?

Possibility of announcement of a new deal for PAF when Chinese president visits. ?FC20 purchase(unlikely i think) ?J31MoU & joint production(possibly) OR maybe something new related to JF17s.

It seems PAFs answer to SU30s and Rafale(at least till 2020-22) is the battle proven F16 (mlu, adf, block 52). I think they are gonna try to get the numbers above 100 in the next 2-3 years one way or the other.

Depends on which side of the aircraft the flags are painted. The white stripe is towards the front of the aircraft.

I would be tempted to float a juicy steak into those crimson flames... ... 'well done' in a second...

Not gonna happen. And no real need for PAF to modify F16 armament. PAF has JF17s and Mirages for experimentation and induction of non-US armament.

Thank US FMF, Saudi 'loan', IMF, World Bank and General Sales Tax

That looks good. However there is a real possibility that this AH1Z deal may not go through to the end. I hope it works out.

The rich and poor alike through general sales tax.

I don't think design for block III is confirmed yet..... so too early to say if it looks like that. (Maybe there are no significant design changes).

At most PAF will fly air defence missions (if at all needed in this conflict - very unlikely)

How many enemy aircraft has PAF shot down with non-US aircraft in its history? Few F6 kills in '71 maybe?

"integrating an AESA with the SD-10A beyond-visual-range missile will provide the PAF and any other JF-17 operator with a long-range, all-aspect precision day and night engagement capability." Re the above.... doesn't the current radar and SD10 give the JF17 the same ability too.... i-e...

He is in the rear seat of an F16D Block 52. Didn't fly it himself I think. This does not mean he is any less capable though.

That was some really bad camera work.... ... 1) The cameras were like from the 70s.... really bad quality 2) The cameramen seem to have Parkinsons Disease. Unable to follow even a straight flying aircraft. Either they zoom out so much that one cannot see anything....or zoom in so much as if...

Would be interesting to see where all these three contenders belong to..... ethnicity has a big role in appointments in Pakistan.... whether we accept it or not...

Look at your maps more closely(i hope they are scaled) and get a compass and see where 300 kms gets you
