If production is to commence in late 2019, then prototype & first flight would have to be in early-mid 2019 at the very latest, which is in accordance with what @Dazzler has stated in recent weeks.
This will provide the PAF with its first AESA-equipped fighter platform and also a competitor to the Gripen-E in the export market if prices can be kept in check. Impressive milestones by any standards.
Gripen was marketed to Brazil and Switzerland way before the first flight.
JF-17 may be a solution for Pakistan, but in many countries it will fail,
simply because it is incompatible with either this or that.
some JF-17 blk-II are still in production, during a documentary at local news channel few months back 7 JF-17 blk-II were counted at different stage of productionso the question is what will happen for jf-17blk2 - is production still in flight or stopped?
Yes, I think they may keep the production line going still as there are a lot of replacements still to be done even though with blk 2.some JF-17 blk-II are still in production, during a documentary at local news channel few months back 7 JF-17 blk-II were counted at different stage of production
The line is open working on the last few airframes for that run and also for components going on the Myanmar order.so the question is what will happen for jf-17blk2 - is production still in flight or stopped?
operational by 2021 mean serial production will be 2020 else how will it be operational in 2021. this is pakistani operational not indian?As witnessed during Zhuhai Airshow, seems like we do have option of LKF601E (AESA) Radar for existing JF-17 Block II fleet which can cover the gap of possible Rafale threat till 2021. India will start receiving deliveries expected by 2019 & onward.
JF-17 Block-III prototype could be expected by the end of 2019 means, lot of things will be finalized till then especially AESA Radar. 2021 seems serial production after all the testing etc.
operational by 2021 mean serial production will be 2020 else how will it be operational in 2021. this is pakistani operational not indian?
correct.... i see that way as well. it will take a while to get it readied overall. so late 2019 it should be in the air. plus all the integration testing etcI kept the period in larger aspect. 2021 is set for operational that means Block III flying into squadron & we are into serial production as well. May be it is about the period between 2020 start to 2021 end.
makes senseI kept the period in larger aspect. 2021 is set for operational that means Block III flying into squadron & we are into serial production as well. May be it is about the period between 2020 start to 2021 end.
Block-2 upgraded with AESA is also low cost option and good competitor with Gripen.
Nope, JFT western system based option is available if customer wants it, even western engine is available.
I invite You to show one possible customer interested in Gripen,
which also has announced interest in the JF-17.
I doubt Pakistan has access to all documents needed to make stuff NATO compliant.
Even if it had, there is no NATO compliant JF-17 flying.
To prove that it is compliant, You need several years of testing.
Noone is going to trust PAC, until it has done its homework...
But he also said that radar selection will be made in one year timeI kept the period in larger aspect. 2021 is set for operational that means Block III flying into squadron & we are into serial production as well. May be it is about the period between 2020 start to 2021 end.
