PAC KAMRA has now attained capability to manufacture 2 fighters per month as was mentioned in recent AFM magazine. By the year end, PAF will have two squadrons of jf-17 block 1 configuration and after 50 aircraft of block 1, block 2 production will commence as its radar, avionics are being tested in China progressively at the moment. Block 2 induction will begin by 2011 onwards and will include our indigenous avionics, IRST, AAR etc.....
Nabil,
Thanks for giving as great info on JF-17s. Had couple of questions, Will IRST be nose mounted or are we talking about adding an IRST pod.. Do you anticipate engine being changed to WS-13 in Block 2 as well? Can't wait to see Block 2 Thunders..
Manufacturing of many parts of jf-17s began in Pakistan in mid 2008 and we are already manufacturing more than 25 % of the aircraft that includes vertical tail, front fuselage, wings etc. For this purpose and to maintain very high manufacturing standards, most of the heavy machinery is imported from Sweden and not from China although some did come from there. It has also allowed easy and relatively quick assembling/manufacturing process due to high standard achieved by using state of the art machinery and highly professional and skillful local labor.
Hi Nabil,
Thankyou little brother for presenting that gem of an information---hein hein hein---swedish machinery for a chinese fighter.
Paf does have its shortcomings but they are not stupid all the way. This equipment will mean that pak manufactured frame will be of superior quality than the chinese manufactured one.
Now wouldn't that have been a coupe de grace if they had bought a swedish plane bulit with swedish machinery---------I guess they would have to name it Grippen.
But if a chinese fighter is fabricated out of a swedish machine--what would you call it---a Chrippen

No body knows the reality. But promotional videos are not always realityHello,
People of the forum, i think we have had enough discussions regarding JF-17 radars, missiles, engine, avionics etc. so just for a change what do u people think that who should direct the promotional video of JF-17 Thunder, Pakistan has some good directors like Jammi, Asim Raza, Saqib Malik who have the caliber to perform this task but since this project can earn us billions so we can also go for foreign directors. Pakistan has always lagged in the promotional skills so if Pakistan want to export JF-17 we are going to have to do a lot more than flying a green colored JF-17around the skies in ISB or few pictures of JF-17 carrying runway bombs isn't enough to attract the customers, strong advertisement always lure the customers irrelevant of the true capabilities of the product. So it's time for a change PA never advertised Alkhalid tank the way they should have, similarly i have a feeling that the same treatment will be given to JF-17 thunder. However, i am hoping that PAF wont be slacking off like PA in this respect & will try to glorify the image of JF-17 as much as possible
