JF-17 Thunder – Lightning Strikes Twice

[Dr. Abdul Basit]

Sirf al Khalid? Attach a independent armoured brigade , for vertical envelopment

lol that will be overkill

The Gripen yes. They struggled a lot. Not because of the flying but due to their lack of engineering backgrounds.

Maybe PAF pilots should be required to complete a few relevant engineering courses before being appointed as test pilots

Hi,

Two chinese & one european vendor competing for this contract---. Must be a tooth & nail fight---.

The Paf really does not have to disclose who the winner is at this time---it can wait when the aircraft is ready for the installation---.

But only if we can get a s400 from Russia and stick it on the JF-17s undercarriage pylon

That way the JF17 can be a big threat to other planes

Either you have gone full retard or being sarcastic.

Hi,

Absolutely---have 2 + 2---but then integration of two systems and then mating weapons to them---that would not be easy---.

i am not sure big things but we can add AIM9PL

Should have added an emoji. Now you'll have 100 notifications from people.

I thought it'd be obvious

 

[Thorough Pro]

Adopting two systems just for the sake of it will add to complexity and create logistic issues. Just choose the best option and equip all planes with it, why go for for both the best and second best?

PAF should buy 25-50 JF17s with the Grifo-E and the Meteor missile, all integrated with the Sab 2000 AEW&C !!!! this is in addition to the Chinese AESA system. It will really make the indians double think as they will be facing the same missile which they claim, can and will "rule" the skies of south asia. The deterrence value will be immense !!!!!

Its a GaN radar. impressive.

I agree.
Few thunders packed with western avionics/radar and weapons.... Dedicated air superiority fighters.

Or both, never rule out both possibilities

Hi,

It will stay with one system overall---. The weapons are already in place---integrated and used in service---. Technicians are trained in service---maintenance & operational use---.

Italy will fight tooth and nail to get this contract---it will have to come up with a special package and deal---.
