AH-1 Z Designated for No 31 PAA Squadron

[Adam WANG SHANGHAI MEGA]

Why don't you let the PA and the Turks worry about how they keep the promises to each other. Perhaps concentrate on the fact that PLAAF did not buy the requisite number of JF-17 and yet had hundreds of J-7s still flying not to mention they even had an A-5 on display at the last airshow which I found hilarious.

1)JF 17/FC-1 is actually a saving money projects sepcially arranged for Pakistani Air force,it is cheap in price but the quality is equal to F16 earlier version,sorry to mention it but We CHINA are not in shortage of foreign reserves,we have 3 trillions USD by the way!
We have better but expensive J-10 and J-20 to focus on.
2)Those old jets A5, J7 are history stocks,can not be replaced in one or two years and most of them are and will be transformed to target aircrafts.
3)By the way,PAF ordered 150 units JF17,how many deliveried?Around 100,the production capacity can not even meet PAF demand alone!!!

4)In my opinion,this JF17 Project is a Strategical tech transfer projects to Pakistan,by making Pkaistan an ally of CHINA that can manufacture advanced jet fighters while.mastering some core know-hows and establish techinical and management system and teams at least advanced than indian's LCA.
PLA does not plan to but JF-17 since the begining!It is not as advanced as J10,J11and J-20!

Yo as soon as that first AH-1z arrives, one way or another reverse engineer that b*tch like there is tomorrow, we don't know how much the US will support the fleet.

Reverse engineering these machines is pretty difficult, it's not just the electronics, it's also the multiple software's integrated into these vehicles.
