Yea, too many fundas in the PAF, hence, some minorities inducted to de-radicalise these culprits.

What is your opinion about JFT's performance in Dubai I think performance was better as compared to previous air shows. Am i rite?

in this airshow thay had cleared some distant area for the display, the euorofighter and jft got camoflaged in the skies-- but a good job by the pilots

Yea dude, we need an ice breaker and the ball will start rolling.
I see Khalid Mehmood is leading the team.......F-16 veteran with some Afghan kills under his belt.

Korean delegation were asking PAF about JFT.It seems like they are deeply concerned for JFT at Dubai airshow.
Can they be worrying about that two-seater version JFT will grab a share of the Korean T50's market in future???

G]

they seriously think the LIFT/light attack varient can take on jft- jft, which was envisioned as a fighter right from the table , rather being transitioned from a trainer

Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. Azerbaijan shows interest in JF-17 Thunder combat aircrafts jointly produced by Pakistan and China and announced its intention to purchase aircrafts of this type, Pakistan Aeronautical Complex - PAC, which displayed its products in Dubai Airshow-2011 in UAE, told APA.

JF-17 Thunder showed exemplary flights over the Dubai airport within the air show. Members of the Azerbaijani delegation also watched the flights.

Reminding about the discussions held with Azerbaijan up to now, the company officials said that the discussions have not entered the phase of purchase and sale yet. Now the company is executing the orders of the Pakistan’s Air Forces, the export to Azerbaijan can be realized in the nearest years. The sides determined the annual amount of the order.

The company officials said that Pakistan and Azerbaijan has high level relations. Islamabad supports Baku’s positions and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and has rendered military assistance to Azerbaijan since the very beginning. Taking these relations into consideration, there will be no problems in sale of aircrafts to Azerbaijan.

According to company’s representatives, within Pakistan-China cooperation, the production of Block-2 version of JF-17 Thunder aircrafts will be started. This model will be provided with the newest e-war system, additional weapons. Besides, two-pilot model of the aircraft is being developed.

There are many headwinds to T-50 vis-a-vis JFT still
1) JFT has gathered around 4 years of operational service under its belt while T-50 still remains in prototyping.
2) The capabilities of JFT have drastically enhanced, making it a true MR fighter, not a light attack, trainer like T-50.
3) T-50 is produced in collaboration with LMCO US, if the compnay has not used its private funding, then US administration may excercise influence it its selling decision, a drag on customers.

Looking at the video of the airshow, I got the impression that UAE's pilot commentator was trying to downplay JFT. While the english commentator compared it to F-16 and F-18, he was talking about F-5. Moreover, when JFT was making a vertical climb, the voices of "not bad", "very good" could be heard in the background.

The most satisfactory element is that the Air Chief himself is at PAF staff. This shows the level of commitment and seriousness on part of the top brass of PAF about selling Thunders and making its place in international market.
