Next year... Embarrassing

May be this delay is for installing new sensitive machines for the production of block-3

WTF !!!!


However, more the delays, better the expectations !!!

@MastanKhan @PakSword @HRK @Signalian
yarrrr

BTW, it is justifiable.

2 Block 3 if produced in 2020 wouldn’t mean much so better produce Bravos ONLY.

Focus on one.

Could be that some export order might have caused this delay or rethinking of production schedule due to this below
BIG DEAL

The PAF said only 2 Block-3s would be built in 2020, most likely for subsystem integration and testing. No surprise that it would take until after 2021 to raise the first squadron.

...also bear in mind, Pakistan's dirt poor atm.

What is "extremely capable"???

 

[airomerix]

Only the serial production is starting next near at AMF.

2 Block 3's will be joining PAF next month. A few things need to be done before AMF can handle Block 3's.


Also, AMF is running at full capacity as far as 2020 is concerned. If we secure 'that' order, PAF might as well have to invest in another facility. Its all good news. Have patience.

Rafale will probably be operational and in numbers too in 2021. MKIs are being built moreand UPGs are being imported more. Tejas are being built more. PAF will certainly be short of Capable Fighters

So we all got it wrong !!!

It is quite sensible now that you have distinguished between LRIP and Mass production.

Since i think 2 are ready, 2 more prototypes might be built at Chengdu most probably while we are busy making Bravos !!!

Khair, jahan itna sabar karlia, thora aur hi khair.

ATM might not be the real issue at the moment, something in terms of development or maybe that producing just 2 would increase costs instead of producing many together so just stick with total bravo production.

What are your thoughts on the possible new major order PAC is getting ?

Mushak or Thunders ?

Could be bravo followed by Block 3 later on since no words on mushak procurement by anyone lately !!!

PAC Pa-inda-bad !!!!

Quite obvious. Remember the model on display of Bravo on AVIC stall had dual racks on 2 hps so it is quite evident that those hps can support PL-15

Have patience.

Paitience kartay-kartay kuch Members kay baal safaid hogaey hain.

What special features are there in Bravos for which they can use PL 15s unlike Block 2s? @HRK @Hodor @Dazzler
