I know everyone thinks we are selling to them, but what if they are selling us used Mirages? I know they only have 9 of them but it's possible.

Qatari Defence Minister called on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif onThursday and expressed interest in buying Mushshak and JF-17 Thunder aircraft to strengthen bilateral defence ties.



“We are desirous of buying Super Mushshak and JF-17 Thunder aircraft from Pakistan and also want to set up military cooperation and production of equipment in Qatar with the assistance of Pakistan and Turkey,” a PM House statement quoted Dr Khalid bin Mohammad Al Attiyah as saying.

Dr Attiyah extended condolences, on his behalf and on behalf of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani the Emir of the State of Qatar, on the loss of precious human lives in the terrorist attack on police training centre in Quetta.

He said the terrorist attack was most condemnable and the government and people of Qatar stand by their Pakistani brethren in this hour of grief and sorrow.

“With the assistance and cooperation of Pakistan, we want to improve our military hardware to be prepared for the uncertain threat of terrorism; prevailing in the region,” the minister added. He further said that Qatar would be establishing training academy for countering the unconventional enemy of terrorism and would be seeking the services and expertise of Pakistani instructors to impart training courses there.

The PM thanked the minister for his condolence, saying the terrorist attack resulted into the loss of innocent lives. The premier said Pakistan and Qatar enjoy strong brotherly relationship which will be further strengthened into sustained economic cooperation for the benefit of both.

He went on to say that Pakistan, Qatar and Turkey can set up joint ventures for undertaking defence related manufacturing of military equipment. “Our relationship with Qatar means a lot to us and you can count on Pakistan as your closest ally and brotherly state,” he remarked.

“The trade volume between Qatar and Pakistan will multiply, especially after the import of LNG from Qatar,” the PM added.

The premier also extended his heartfelt condolences to the defence minister on the sad demise of the grandfather of Emir of Qatar.

I know it's unlikely, but it's still possible. They have 12 of them, and since they ordered 24 Rafales, we could take those Mirages off their hands.

Qatar IS WHERE US, CENTCOM BASE IS LOCATED, I VISITED THERE MORE THAN ONCE, thanks to my old friend the U.S Ambassador IN DOHA.

WHATEVER,THEY DO IS WITH THE BLESSINGS OF THE U.S.
AND YES, THEY WERE TRYING TO DISPOSE OFF THEIR MIRAGES V , CAPABLE OF LAUNCHING A NUCLEAR WEAPON MISSILE, 12-16 UNITS IN TOTAL.

BACK IN 2006-7, INDIA SHOWED A LOT OF INTEREST TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE LOT, GUESS IT WAS NEVER MATERIALIZED.

Dr Attiyah or if General Attiyah, was the chief of army, back in 1997. A very powerful and influential person, trusted by the AMIR. AND His Highness MOTHER.

The Ambassador of Pakistan at that time was H.E M. ASGAR AFRIDI,a very close and dear friend of mine.
A SPECIAL REQUEST TO ALL MEMBERS IN THIS FORUM,THAT IF ANYONE KNOWS HIS E-MAIL/ VIBER # , please infom me, I really miss him a lot. So many memories of those golden days, TOGETHER..

Everyone know that Qatar - Bahrain - Kuwait needs can easily be fulfilled by JF-17s - K-8s and Super Mushaks.

I am sure that they are keen to acquire modified version of these machines.

Statement by His Excellency Muhammad Asghar Afridi, Ambassador of Islamic Republic of Pakistan at Follow-up International Conference on Financing for Development to Review the Implementation of the Monterrey Consensus (Doha, Qatar, 01 December, 2008),
is the person , I am searching for.

There got to be a political angle as well. Qatar has been part of previous NROs and deals which saved Mian Nawaz Shareef... and that aspect will be one of the agenda items for sure.

K.S.A, U.A.E.OMAN, KUWAIT,QATAR, BAHRAIN. i.e most of GCC COUNTRIES( EXCLUDING IRAN), are working in the same principle, as desired by the U.S.A.

Even when it comes to recruitment of Manpower, they maintain, a fine and delicate balance between, Muslims. Christians., Hindus and the recent additions are the Buddhist along with the, Confucianist.

iran isn't part of the GCC countries.

Interesting that money rich Qatar is buying jf17's, it will certainly raise a few eyebrows in the west.

Also interesting is that Qatar is buying the jf17's with either the russian or chinese engine, rather then the typhoon engines that the Saudi's are very keen on.
