Please tell me one think how can you compare Gripen with JF17 (upgraded version is in development) ????

Good question how can indians compare lca with operational F-16, operational JF-17, operational Gripen.

PS. I did not compare Aircraft, I compared Price where JF-17 Wins.

JF-17 Block II would be no different from Block I except for , Air Refuelling Probe, IRST, AESA (hint AESA being tested on J-10B already the variant for JF/FC-1 would be similar & miniature would be configured for JF/FC-1 for more information contact nabil_05)

 

[Luftwaffe]

No dear.... JFT block II would cost US $ 20-25 Ml, with AESA it would cost US $ 30 Ml... With weapons, maintenance and other services single unit would cost US$ 30+ Ml (without AESA) and US$ 35+ (with AESA)... I may be wrong altho...

Like I explained $500-$600M is extremely competitive price for the package it would offer that includes AESA, IRST, air refuelling probe ofcourse BVR missiles SD-10/A etc.

So till now have we succeeded in pacifying Bangladeshi Keyboard warriors to buy JF17 BlkI or BlkII.

ps : we know what is the potential of JF17 and what we are going to achieve from it.

 

[Luftwaffe]

The purpose is information, BAF has its hands full and modernization in Gear, Let them decide I have explained in Post #380 both Gripen-F-16s with a complete package a squadron or Fleet of 16 would cost between $2.1-$2.4B where as JF/FC-1 would cost between $450-500M which faces competition from Mig 29.

If BAF is willing to pay this price then it is a good news for BAF and BAF enthusiasts without forgetting these Airframes are Expensive & subjected to strictest visit from US in case of F-16s and Gripen in case of Sweden.

most of our members are confusing flyaway cost with export costs.
cost for jf-17 block first was approx 18 million but for PAF excluding R&D. western analyst add R&D to their flyaway cost too. Export price will mostly include VAT and other taxes rising the prices by atleast 15%.

an exported block 1 will thus cost nearly 23-25 million dollars while block2 near to 30-35 million.
but again at same time gripen(C not NG) nearly cost 50-55M and f-16 85-90 million.
rafale and eurotyphoon pass the 100 million mark

su 30 price is highly varaible due to variable equipments but it would be near 50 million.
j-10/fc-20 would cost approx 40-50 million.

mig 29 has most versatile price i have seen deals from 20 million to 50 million.

lastly prices go up by 5-7% every year

Anyone! Who can share any update on the F-7BGI procurement program? Still dont know the shape of the aircraft. A friend told me it might look like BG. But, the avionics shall be different. It might receive a much upgraded radar that also has a terrain following mode. Can anyone confirm that!!

Can anyone share any information about the two helicopters that RAB will get?

 

[Major Shaheb]

Also, if anyone can confirm the new Euro-copter to be procured for BD army? Some Indian sources suggest it might be Fennec. But, it differs a lot with the army requirements. So, im not sure...

 

[Zabaniyah]

Likely to be EC-175:

It was confirmed that BA is buying a few Eurocopters along with the MBT-2000 order.
