Flypast during Qatar National Day Hints at Doha's Interest in Pakistani JF-17

[khanasifm]

Makes no sense. Qatar has 10 rafale with 36 on order, 24 typhoon on order and 36 F-15E (QA) on order. They alternatively operate 9 M2K5 and 6 Alpha-jets. That is a total of 115 Frontline fighters (19 already in service) and 6 trainers for a tiny country. They have ZERO need for JF-17. Lets have some semblance of reality. AND all of that is without mentioning that Doha serves as the FOB of US CENTOM. Nobody is in any hurry to attack Qatar and even if US Ddidnt intervene, any other nation would be badly bloodied by those top of the line 115 fighters and the $12b worth of Patriot Missiles they bought.

In addition to all of that, you think the Chinese will let Pakistan sell the aircraft to a major US ally who houses USAF personnel at the same base where a blk 3 will be stationed. Blk2 is one thing but the AESA and EW systems of the Blk3 are somewhat based on cutting edge chinese systems and will give the US and idea of what chinas capabilities actually are. Not likely a viable sale.

Rafael, typhoon and f-15 are all same category do they need three types ? but ,.. so adding. Jf-17 do they need it ??? why not ?

They already requested but it was political move against uae and Saudi so ...

Im not really sure what you are asking or implying. Are you saying Qatar requested the JF-17 for sale but Pakistan refused because it didnt want to hurt Saudi or Emarati sentiment? If so please share where that was heard/reported because i havent heard anything mentioned even here to that effect. Also, if it were true before it is even more the case now, so still would be no sale.

As for why get Rafale, typhoon and Strike Eagle... That is the million dollar question, but that appears to be what they are doing. These are mostly political purchases but they are apparently going for all three types.

IMO like all sales you quoted if there is a sale of JF-17 it will also be a political. Be it with KSA/UAE or Qatar.

Hope we get few orders.

Egypt seems like it could be a customer, it would be a great purchase to replace Mirage 5, Alpha Jet, and Mirage 2k.
If Egypt ordered a high number it has to include SD-10, and TOT for weapons to a certain extent and possibly a work agreement where CAC makes a LOT more aircraft kits than it is now that are assembled in Egypt.

Pakistan and China have already gave an offer to Egypt to buy JF-17 like they bought K-8.

I know, but the purchase may not happen. I can hope for it, but in all reality it probably won't.

Who knows what happens. Egypt Air Force is in same situation as PAF, lots of vintage plane flying, needs new planes to replace them. Mirages and F-7s needs to be replaced with New BVR capable fighter jet.

 

[Zarvan]

All major countries are waiting for BLOCK III. BLOCK III if comes with 9 hard points plus AESA radar and PL-15 BVR and RAAD Cruise Missiles than that is the beast which all these major countries can buy without fearing any sanctions due to human rights or any other reason.

Exactly, but I actually may not like JF-17 for Egypt on second thought. Future war will not be against Israel, but most likely against Turkey over Eastern Med and you know the relations between Egypt and Pakistan. Rather not be faced with more sanctions and Egypt purchase 100 more Migs for 5 billion USD.

No he is right bro for such a small country and already have high tech jets from west, there will be no room for JF-17 fr Qatar and remember bro USAF base in Qatar there is huge Chance for USA to take close look at the of block-3 avionics+AESA+weapons (espionage)

well its your analysis and you may be right on your analysis..

as for sanctions from Pakistan during Egypt's war with Turkey. JF-17 is a joint project between China and Pakistan and China has its own share of technologies and policies to export JF-17.

If Egypt has done a deal with China with Chinese and Russian technology than Pakistan nothing to sanction.

Its unlikely that Pakistan will support a one-side during a war between two Muslim countries.

bro QATAR has least chance to get JF-17 block-3

Well I hope your analysis is right as well, but rather be safe than sorry and I believe the best chance to be safe is Russia.

[StormBreaker]

JF-17 won't be bought most likely, if it comes down to it Airbus, and other firms will bribe Qatari officials into buying their fighter.


No tard, Turkish tech is inferior and China won't let you access the source codes.

Bribe “qatari emir” ?
Lol, you mean the emir bribe airbus ? That seems more realistic.

Why the hell would someone own fortunes even get bribed ?

However, they can get bribed in ways apart from money, something that helps their national interests !!!
