A dream that the world conspired against: Manufacturing a warplane in Egypt and the position of the JF-17 Block 3

[The SC]

and our Block 3 can against IDF f-16s?

It can play a good defensive role with its BVR missiles.. while the Egyptian F-16s will be used for CAS mostly as they are very potent in that..and dogfight too..

Lol.....mighty Egypt doesn't need this poor lightweight fighter. Egypt should be content with F16, Mig35, Su35, Rafale.

Edit: Forgot EFT

Hey.. you always need a sidekick..

 

[RealNapster]

Is Egypt looking to replace 220 of it's medium-weight F-16s with a light-weight fighter fleet?

In this modern world a medium weight F-16 with no BVR capabilities is nothing in comparison to a lightweight BVR capable fighter.

 

[Beast]

Are 220 F-16s with the Egyption Air Force not enough?

US will never release source code for advance avionic and BVRAAM.. Egypt F-16 is even worst than IAF Bison Mig-21.

The problem is western will apply sanction whenever they deemed. Their products are full of condition. Russian products after sales service are poor and Su-35 are not cheap to maintain.

Jf17 is for replacing

Saudis are more than welcome to jointly manufacture weapon systems with Pakistan, you have the money and we have the brains.

We should work with them on next block of thunder.

Without BVRs these 220 Falcons are indeed useless. The Americans never gave Egypt the AMRAAMs.
Considering the level of US and Israeli footprint and involvement in Egypt, I doubt the Egyptians will be successful in starting their own weapons manufacturing program, let’s alone a capable jet. It’s a shame though, since Egypt was the only country in the region capable of giving Israel a run for their money.

In the sixties, Egypt succeeded in the project of the Helwan 300 fighter, and the Soviets plotted against it.

In the eighties, Egypt asked France to manufacture Mirage 2000 fighters, so the Americans intervened to waste the opportunity onEgypt and made an offer to Egypt to manufacture the Falcon locally from aid funds, which Egypt preferred at the time to reduce the burden on the budget.

Unfortunately, the Americans never fulfilled this contract and paid the penalty clause in the mid-nineties after wasting the opportunity for Egypt.

The Egyptian dream is now renewed and the manufacture of this plane is on the table if China meets the Egyptian demands to produce a tactical plane that is cheap in price and has low costs in maintenance and operation, allowing the operation of a large number of them.

The americans have duped many countries with their lies and deception. They sold Egypt F-16s but no AMRAAMs, they sold Pakistan F-16s and withheld 28 of them, which Pakistan paid for, those were also without AMRAAMs. The americans even cut Turkey out of the JSF program.

All these instances are proof that the americans (as well as britain and france with the rest of the West) duplicitous and should not be engaged with.

Respect please!
I hope we must work with all in military industry field to grow our young military industry

 

[Taimoor Khan]

Seems they are working on that..

I heard the narrator mentioned RA'AD few times.

Also these should be looked into. They are battle proven, used against India during operation swift retort. Will be effective against Israel as well if needed

Block 4? Stealth version of jf17 or you mean azm project?

I didn't mean any disrespect. I simply meant that Pakistan has the technology and the workforce and Saudi Arabia has money. I apologize if my post offended you.

i think there will be no further block next is project azm . if we stop mirage rebuild and f7 rebuild factories they will be converted to jf-17 rebuild factories and production lines will be taken over by azm . i dont think pakistan will run production of two fighter at a time sir . we have damn 11bn$ budget ,

I think we would still be needing to upgrade jeffs to keep up with evolving threats. It would be too expensive to replace everything with fgfa.
