Burma to Purchase Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Fighter Jets

[razgriz19]

Nothing to be Happy. they are asking for "Licensed Production" inside Burma,same as Pakistan. They are not buying the planes from Pakistan. The decision to allow or not to allow will be made by China not Pakistan.
Most of the money will go to China not Pakistan.

They will only assemble it, like they've done so for every single purchase they've made.
K-8, and even the Mig-29 was assembled in Burma.

But the question is that whether Pakistan will sell Jets to a country known for atrocities against Muslims.

hhahhahaha lolz, and you jihadi brothers ? what they sell ? they take money from kafir and fight muslims lolz .. or what they even have to sell beside their A$$'s ?

Find a single post from my username which will support your argument. exactly your post is nothing but verbal diarrhea. maybe you just had a brain fart? now go back to your 3rd class internet cafe where you can somke some chars with your buddies.

But the question is that whether Pakistan will sell Jets to a country known for atrocities against Muslims.

Unfortunately we have some people here who will go crazy over few bucks. few years ago India had plans to sell armed dhurv to burma but it was stopped by west due to EU arms embargo for same reason you mentioned above.

This is where I fail to understand my own people, why sell defence equipment to a country which has been killing Muslims?

 

[RAMPAGE]

And Pakistan will not be supplying anything to Myanmar even if it purchases JF-17.
They are buying FC1, that should clear things to you.

 

[Pak_Sher]

Until Burma stops killing Muslims, Pakistan should maintain an arms embargo on Burma.

 

[kalu_miah]

What makes you think that a country that does share a border with India will allow it to come and take a peek at its weapons?
Burma by no means is an ally of India. By selling JF-17s though, Pakistan and China will squarely have Burma in our camp.

That's a very good point. I support this sale. Myanmar need to be in Chinese camp and military weapons sale is a good way to build future military alliance.

LMAO.
Even this report is based on the crap copied from a crappy BDian website by burmatimes.net

Burma Times just copy pasted an article dated June 12 from shitty bdmilitary.com & posted it on June 15.

Myanmar plans JF-17 production | Bangladesh Military Forces

sssshhh... money makes people crazy. now you can imagine how easy it is to fool 15 17 year old teen to do crazy stuff for few bucks in Pakistan.

 

[PoKeMon]

Do you think Pakistan gets more political leverage in Burma by being a weapons supplier or by not being a weapons supplier?

Ummah goes for a toss here.

The only bad muslims exists in nations which either provide free lunch to you or you see a business option there. How about selling some arms to Israel and Gujrat police?

What makes you think that a country that does share a border with India will allow it to come and take a peek at its weapons?
Burma by no means is an ally of India. By selling JF-17s though, Pakistan and China will squarely have Burma in our camp.

How about buying out some burmese loyalty?

Burma to Purchase Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Fighter Jets

According to local media, Myanmar will become the first foreign purchaser of the Sino-Pakistan jointly produced fighter.

By Zachary Keck
June 25, 2014

Myanmar will purchase the Sino-Pakistan jointly produced JF-17 Thunder multirole fighter aircraft, according to local news reports.

According to the Burma Times, Myanmar is looking to purchase a license to domestically produce the J-17 aircraft, which is called the FC-1 Xiaolong in China. If the report is accurate, it would make Myanmar the first foreign purchaser of the jet. Currently, only Pakistan’s Air Force operates the J-17 and, as Ankit has reported, Islamabad is in the process of making a number of upgrades to the fighter jet.

Although the report is unconfirmed, it is extremely plausible. To begin with, Myanmar has previously operated or currently operates a number of Chinese-made aircraft including: 48 NAMC A-5C fighters, 52 Chengdu F-7M Airguard fighters and 4 Y-8 medium lift transports. The Southeast Asian nation’s air force also recently purchased Sky 02A Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) from China, and built domestic copies of them.

Most notably, Myanmar is also believed to operate 4-10 Karakorum-8 (JiaoLian-8) jet assault and trainer planes, which were also jointly produced by China and Pakistan. Some reports indicate that the deal for the K-8s also included a license in-country component.

Myanmar also reportedly considered purchasing the JF-17 a few years back before ultimately deciding to buy Russian-made Mi-29s. However, the Burma Times report said that Rangoon’s aircraft has suffered from serviceability issues in recent years, and thus a locally assembled aircraft like the J-17 would make sense.

Myanmar is likely to use the JF-17 jets in part to help combat the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) insurgency in northern Myanmar. The purchase of the JF-17 will also help Myanmar keep parity with neighboring Bangladesh, which is expected to expand its air force in the coming years through the purchase of Russian or Chinese-made aircraft. Bangladesh has reportedly been offered and rejected the JF-17.

The Burma Times article noted that the JF-17 “can be armed with a variety of bombs and missiles including PL-5EII, PL-9C and PL-12 AAMs, C-802A anti-ship missiles, general purpose bombs, laser guided munitions and countermeasures on its 7 hard points (four underwing, 2 wingtip, 1 under fuselage). The aircraft’s standard set of armaments are supplemented by a 23 mm GSh-23-2 twin barrel cannon or 30 mm version of the same.”

The report failed to indicate whether Myanmar will look to purchase the Block I or Block II of the J-17s, but it did note that the former is priced at $20 million per unit while the latter is going for $25 million.

Regardless, Myanmar’s purchase of the J-17 would be a huge boon for China and Pakistan. Both countries have tried to market the jet for export but have thus far failed to receive any customers. Pakistan pledged in 2013 to begin exporting the jet in 2014. As The Diplomat reported last year, “The Pakistan Air Force has been assigned [a] target of exporting 5 to 7 JF-17 Thunder planes next year and discussions in this regard are under way with Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Qatar and other friendly countries.”
