China shall give 50 JF17 Thunder on emergency bases

[Areesh]

Tested since 2009, more powerful weapon mission management computer, store management system, powerful Defense Aid System including MAWS new version SE-3, superior avionics, communication suite, improved full spectrum of electronic warfare suite, radar could be small AESA of J-10 or KLJ-7B version with more range, modes, anti jamming, composite will increase from 8 to 30 or 40% allowing weight reduction and chin mounted hard point (s), IRST is there most likely. It is an overall improvement of first batch.

And what about the IFR????

Pakistan Awaits 50 Jets Made With China: Minister
AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
Published: 20 May 2011 07:28

BEIJING - Pakistan hopes to take delivery within the next six months of 50 JF-17 fighter jets manufactured jointly with China, Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar said May 20 during a visit to Beijing.

Mukhtar made the comments on the sidelines of a meeting between Chinese President Hu Jintao and Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who was wrapping up a four-day visit to China - his country's long-time ally.

"We think there is a good deal," said Mukhtar, who put the price of each JF-17, or Thunder, aircraft at $20 million to $25 million "as compared to $80 million for the F-16", a U.S.-built jet also used by Pakistan's air force.

Mukhtar did not explicitly say whether the deal had been finalized, but it appeared that the agreement was nearing completion.

Further details of the deal were not made public but the agreement was apparently discussed during the visit by Gilani, who met Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao earlier in the week.

China is Pakistan's main arms supplier and a close ally of Islamabad.

Pakistan's air force has a fleet of Chinese aircraft, including F-7PGs and A-5s, but also F-16s and French Mirages.

The neighbors began developing the JF-17 together in 1999 and has said it wants 250 of the jets. In November, Islamabad said it would buy Chinese missiles and flight systems for the jets, Chinese state media reported.

Hi, some members have questioned why these planes will be assembled in China.

If these planes are the new Block 2 versions, the the PAF staff have probably not come up to speed on assembling this version. Remember currently the PAF does not build the JF-17 100%, it still imports some stuff from China for assembly. As such, if time is of the essence, it makes sense to have them made in China for now.

All the argument and counter argument aside.

I am down right pissed the way people use "SHOULD" !

China shall give 50 JF17 Thunder on emergency bases

For F's sake people, there is no SHOULD in some one Else's free will !

It is Pakistan's emergency, not China's.

It is upto China's will , if they decide to help ( the magnitude and form of it we can request, but not dictate ).

Just not enough strength to trust own's damned legs !

Fighter plane is not a car that can be provided on urgent basis.Every fighter is made on order.China is not assembling JFT right now.and even if they start it will take them at least 3 years to get done.They are currently busy with J-10s so it means they will have to reduce j-10 production to start with JFT.We have J-10 on orders too so why they dont provide us J-10.

on urgent basis mean at Chinese factory will work 24 hours a day and 365 days a year to produce JF17 and its mean that their production will be double and if we calculate our production that is 24 planes a year then it will double. so base on that we can say that we can get 4 JF17 plane per month. which is very fast and we all know that China is the best country if we talk about mass production

My two cents

just 1 more thing sir i have noticed senior members saying that JF-17 avionics are nearly equal to that of F-16 block 50,with the avionics upgrade which block of F-16 would it match the most evenly (as per avionics)
and overall block 1 was comparable to block 30 F-16's
Which F-16 or Mig-29 Block/version will JF-17 block 2 be most evenly matched with...

You should judge it yourself bro if current avionics suite is on par with blk 50, next should at least be equal to 52s or even more. Let me remind you that current weapon mission computer is already too powerful and avionic performance is flawless to say the least, pretty quick, PAF can keep this WMMC if they want to but they are going for better. Current JFT is overall comparable to blk 40, not 30 due to more advanced radar, 1553B/1760 Mux bus interface allowing it more flexibility on par with blk 40 or even 50.

Block 50 an 52 have equal avionics suite. The difference is only p&w or GE engine. The + version has cft.

To build 50 brand new fighters in 12 months is a remarkable achivement.

French are building 12 rafales a year

India 15 su30mki a year

Typhoon barely 20 per year

TEJAS will run at 8 planes per year

50 JF17 is incredible.... IF ITS EVEN TRUE

 

[SEAL]

PAC started production of JF-17 at home in 2099 and first 8 JF-17 came from China so there is a assembly line in China and PAF goal to have 250 JF-17 by 2015 is only possible if both assembly lines are working.

as mentioned earlier, CAC can produce 20 a/c per year - i read the meaning of 'deliver within weeks' as CAC can start delivery of the first few a/c 'within weeks'!

Is this some kind of Abbottobad deflector shield announcement? Or is this a requirement for PAF due to Abbottabad incident?

No,
Its a "Lets penetrate India" kind of announcement

JF-17 currently lacks an IFR and HMS, will we see these things in this block or wait for the 3rd block? and Also, regarding all the upgrades, why i'm having the haunch we have acquired the upgraded version of RD-93 which have higher thrust?

I'm little confused, chin mounted hard point mean hard point in this area?
