PAF to start serial production of JF17 fighter aircraft soon PDF Print E-mail
ISLAMABAD, Mar 7 (APP): With singing of an agreement between Pakistan Air Force and Chinese firm CATIC the serial production of JF&#8209;17 (Thunder) aircraft would start soon. The agreement between PAF and CATIC on the basis of “seller’s credit” was reached at a ceremony held here Saturday, whereby 42 fighter jets would be joitly produced for the use of PAF.


The agreement was signed on behalf of PAF by Chairman Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Air Marshal Khalid Chaudary and President CATIC MA Zhiping which was witnessed by Chief of the Air Staff PAF Air Chief Marshal Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed and Ambassador of China to Pakistan Luo Zhaohui besides other senior officials from both the parties.

Under the agreement the lot of 42 aircraft would be co&#8209;manufactured by China and Pakistan and later these would be inducted in the PAF’s fleet.

Talking to media, Air Chief Marshal Tanvir Mehmood Ahmed congratulated the peoples and governments of Pakistan and China on conduction of successful tests and trails of the most modern aircraft of its class and signing of agreement for start of their serial production.

He said “despite all odds we have been successful to reach the stage of starting serial production of the aircraft.”

“In the beginning we will produce 15 aircraft annually and their number will increase to 30 in a year &#8209; this programme will be carried out in phases,” he said.

He said first squadron of these highest quality fighter jets would be inducted in the PAF’s fleet by mid of this year as PAF has already been using 8 jointly produced aircraft for the last couple of years.

This fleet would be raised in Peshawar, he added.

About the delivery of AWACS system to Pakistan, he said that agreement had already been reached with a Chinese firm which would start its delivery by 2010.

On the delivery of first AWACS system Pakistan would pay 10 % cost of the aircraft while the rest would be paid on easy installments basis, he said.

Answering a question, he said the agreement between Pakistan and China for the delivery of High&#8209;Tech aircraft J&#8209;10 was intact and these aircraft after improving them further would be delivered to PAF in 2014&#8209;15. He said these aircraft are being modernized in accordance with the PAF’s requirements and delivered under the title of FC&#8209;20.

Is that a boo boo by our journalists or has the plan changed? 2014 is still a long way to go

First the news on that J-10s will be inducted, even the ACM in his interviews earlier had said that. Murad saheb on this forum as well as various respected members on pakdef have report J-10 coming from dec. 2009 to next year.

This is strange news...Are we buying some now and some later? or waiting till 2014 to get the FC-20...which seems the case if we want the WS-10, and chinese AESA, etc

Is it j-10 A or J-10 B?

 

[hj786]

But sir MuradK, pshamim and others with inside contacts have all confirmed that 36 J-10A (F-10A) will be in Pakistan by the end of this year and/or early next year.

Couldn't the Air Chief simply be referring to the modified variant FC-20, perhaps the same/similar to J-10B (aka Super-10 by the Russians)?
