PAC aircrafts: two types of planes developed and manufactured by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) namely Super Mushak, a trainer plane, and a third generation fighter plane JF-17 Thunder received plausible attention of the foreign exhibitors. Potential sales and work orders worth $40 million are under negotiation and on the process of finalisation, mostly being put forth by countries from Africa and the Middle East.
Air Cdre Suhail Salim (retired), Director Sales and Marketing of PAC Kamra, announced that after fulfilling PAF's needs in a year or two, PAC will turn its attention towards commercial exports. He further said that the potential orders of JF Thunder are more than hundred in number, as it is proving to be the lowest cost fighter aircraft of the third generation internationally. 'Here at the IDEAS-2012 more than 19 official delegates from various countries have shown keen interest in purchasing the aircraft,' he added.
Couple of questions..
1. Orders worth $40 million ?? That would mean 2 JFTS ???
2. How come PAF's needs would be fulfilled in an year or 2.. ??
adding to the above, the PAF wants atleast 2 batches in active service before initiating the export orders. The delay is from our side, while customers await.
Is there a confirmed list of orders that are on wait mode while PAF orders are being fulfilled... ?
