As the most member have said the russians will do everything to block the sale.
Economy apart the jf-17 is a good platform for emerging airforces wich have relied on russian-chinees mig21 j7

If Russians block the sale a foreign one can be implemented and used for export.

eg. Saudi JF-17's could use the EJ200

Has any nation actually purchased the JF17 as of yet? Or are they still interested?

 

[Tank131]

Nigeria has purchased 3 with total expected to rise (numbers vary wildly from 12-40...likely lower if you look at the actual size of NAF). Delivery from what I have read is scheduled for mid-late 2017 or early 2018.

Myanmar purchased 16. not sure about delivery time.

Sri Lanka prepares to launch combat aircraft procurement programme
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
15 August 2016
The Sri Lankan government is preparing to issue a request for information (RFI) in support of a programme to procure multirole combat aircraft, IHS Jane's understands.

The programme, featuring the acquisition of between 8-12 aircraft, will be pursued through an inter-government agreement after Cabinet approval for the purchase was given on 11 August.

An official involved in the Sri Lankan defence procurement system said the government has yet to make any decision on the make of aircraft. IHS Jane's understands that it is likely that the RFI will be followed by a tender to procure the platform from an international supplier, although a timeframe is not confirmed.

State news in Sri Lanka had earlier cited Cabinet spokesman Gayantha Karunathilaka as saying that the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) required new combat aircraft to boost ageing inventories, maintain maritime security, and face any unexpected threat.

Sri Lanka is looking to replace its fleet of fighter aircraft, with the country currently facing operational issues with its inventory. (Sri Lankan Air Force)

He said that at present only one of seven Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir C2/C7 fighter aircraft acquired from the 1990s was operational. He added that none of the SLAF's remaining fighter aircraft fleets, comprised of a few Russian MiG-27 fighter aircraft and around seven Chinese J-7s, were operational.

"The government will consider all offers and will select a suitable [aircraft]," he said of the combat aircraft procurement programme.

In January IHS Jane's reported that Sri Lanka had agreed a USD400 million deal with Pakistan to purchase up to 12 JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft, which was developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC).

However, diplomatic and political pressure by India is believed to have stalled the programme. IHS Jane's reported at the time that India, which considers Sri Lanka a security partner, was anxious to prevent Pakistan and China from jointly expanding defence links with Colombo.

Someone make a thread related to Countries interested in JF-17 and Super Mushshaq

And K8.

Why is the Jf17 considered a competitor to Mig29? They are light vs medium and single vs twin engine aircraft the JF17 is also cheaper to buy and operate being a light single engine aircraft.

The true competition would be Gripen or may be F16.

Guys the thread is from November 2016. Please do not take this as some new development.
