Are thy planning to stop over in India? Does anyone know the route?

No, they used Burmese airspace and already landed at CTG Air Base.

 

[The Ronin]

Report says in a 'neighbouring country' and since Nanchang is in Eastern China so most probably stopover would be in Myanmar.

BAF says they flew from Dehong Mangshi Airport. So i think the report is wrong. They didn't stop in Myanmar. Can anyone check "Flight Radar 24"?

 

[Destranator]

Life is nothing but endless learning, as BAF would attest.

Congrats from Pakistan .

200 million dollar for this only 7 k-8w can not be true as this plane is 10 million dollar per unit. Is this part of 23 k-8w order we are hearing for the last 2-3 years? Will BAF get another 16 unit of this plane in future? What about 24 PT-6 basic trainer which was supposed to come we heard about? Does this K-8W cancelled those PT-6 procurement plan? There is no talks about those 24 PT-6.

Because pt6 aren’t being made anymore. We will replace pt6

Licensed production

Licensed production

No, Parts of the K8W were manufactured in Pakistan, and provided to China where final assembly took place. Same setup as was the case for the Myanmar FC1s. Do some research. Pakistan is not a license manufacture of the K8, but a partner and it gets a cut of the profits from every sale of the K8.
