The pictures of the Thunders look very good. I always like to see a fighter with something mounted on its wings.
blain2...JF-17 Thunder Gallery
With three drop tanks, its best not to have anything else on on such long hops across the pond.
I am sure the aircraft put on display will have some inert ordnance.

Yes I saw them. Its done.
their argument is that MKI is invincible because it has Israeli Radar, Avionics, Jammers and most importantly piloted by Martian Indian Pilots capable of sustaining 20G's
Though i agree with most parts of your posts, but still JFT project is not that bad for PAkistan as you are considering it.. If you hype enemy airpower at ur brain more than normal, then it will surely make you scared which is shown in ur posts (no offense)..
Everything is not for war, everything is not for fighting, lots of project are there for experience and preparation for future.. What do you think why india is wasting its money at LCA while they have access to more potent and better air crafts from all over the world.. Reason is, they want to gain expertise at home made air craft manufacturing.. Look they have initiated development almost every field of Air fighter development including Engine development, Avionics, radar and other state of the art techs just because of single project of LCA..
Same goes with Pakistan, before JFT we weren't even able to think about manufacturing of any fighter locally.. 90's saga is still there as horrible dream. Just because of JFT we are now familiar with lots of things and our engineers are getting experience at lots of advance techs with the passage of each and every day..
Now involvement of turks will bring a new era of learning for our engineers, we can co-operate with turk engineers in manufacturing of advanced state of the art avionics tech, advanced air - air and air - ground missile tech.. I think you better know Turk's capabilities in these fields and will consider their experience and wast knowledge regarding advanced techs..
Just be patient, and see, there is bright future of this fighter. even if at the end this fighter won't be able to score kills against su-30 etc still this project worth a lot for our newly born aviation industry and our in-experienced engineers..
if we'll be successful to create a good market for JFT in developing nations, we will be able to earn alot of money and we can use that money for whatever we'll want.. at least future will be better than today.. we can use that money to either purchase better fighters for front line attack against su-30's and other chanllenges imposed by enemy or we can use that money to start development of new better fighter with help of china and turkey in future.
Funding is main problem for pakistan right now, we need money and we all know we can't earn that much by selling wheat and rice to other nations..
JF-17 lookin so beautiful

Why JF17 is without country flag tattoo?
BTW Thunder is looking more solid and compact!
what mirage contract ??????
care to elaborate
How do you define air supriority? Is JF17 the only platform PAF is pursuing? What is the role of F16 blk 52s/MLUs? Where does the FC-20 comes into mix? What is an optimum high low mix for PAF? What is the optimum cost benefit air defence structure for a resource constrainted country like Pakistan facing a much bigger enemy with greater resources. What is your recommendation on how PAF should replace 350 odd obsolete aircrafts. Lets say for the sake of discussion if JF 17 is a wrong decision, what alternate route PAF should have taken? Defence is as much about deterence as it is about fighting a war and Pakistan military in general and PAF in particular has done commendable job, with very limited resources, in deterring a much bigger enemy over many decades. Only a fool can think that Pakistan military can dominate the battle field in a conventional war with India so Pakistan's strategy has been to make it very expensive for India to try any misadeventure. This strategy has been tested and has worked and JF17 fits in very well with this strategy. Yes PAF has made mistakes but not to the extent you state and much less than the neighbour's airforce.
Once again your posts have no information, no substance, just pretence and opinions. You have little or no knowledge or understanding about topics you try to talk about with authority. I have read your posts for many months, you have a condenscending attitude towards other members on this forum. You put down posters like Nabil-05 who, I must say, has access to good information. I don't mind people making wrong statements or having wrong opinions as long as they know that they can be wrong but you pretend to be an expert and expect others to respect you but in reality you are a fake.
