JF-17 Navy Variant???

[.]

I was thinking why doesn't PAF and PN work together to produce a Navy variant since you have the ra'ad for Stationary warships and providing air support to the navy.
How about a completely new JF-17 with everything from Avionics for sea-warfare?
Ultimately Pakistan Navy should be the one to operate these!!!

 

[Shah Xaib]

we'll need an AC too

^Dude you don't need an AC,Pakistan will Never need an AC,We have the arabian sea ,We can easily defend ourselves ,Our soil is our aircraft carrier !!!

Exactly, "Naval varients" do not exist in the age of multi-role fighter aircraft.

The only time one sees a "naval varient" is when a "carrier variant" is required ie to operate from an aircraft carrier. Unless Pakistan has such intentions, there is no need to create such a derivative- how would one even be different from the base a/c?

 

[Ghazwa e Hind]

JF-17 is already operating with multiple anti-ship munitions. It will enhance its range & avionics in upgraded blocks.

 

[Windjammer]

No 2 squadron converted last year for this very purpose, based in Masroor, it's equipped with both CM-400AKG and C802 ASM.

I want a completely new Jet something like having having ASW Capability Sonobuoy launchers ....lol ?,weapon stations to carry homing torpedoes,
How about sonar? something like the long range Heli Sonar to a Long range Jet sonar???? or you can operate a Sonar at the speed of an Jet?.
look man I'm not a professional but I think It's about time Instead the navy asking the Air-force for help should get itself its own Pilots and jets.
That will also help the air-force focus on more Important places like providing air cover for Land forces ETC if there's ever a war.
