JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 4]

[Luftwaffe]

We cannot under estimate SU-30, If Russians have latest SU-35 which has much lower RCS and large composites use then they can develop SU-30 variant with much composite materials, remember the market is still strong for Sukhoi.

SU-30 is the strongest point in today's Regional Air Conflict scenario we do not have anything like that beast specially with the input of highly sophisticated French, Isreali avionics.

Actually with the upgrades coming up from Mig-29/SU-30 a much powerful AESA could pave it way to IAF the capability increase multifold, again please don't under estimate. SU-30 pilots are not chickens they are also being trained in a very critical situational awareness environment after all their pilots regularly visit israel and regardless of you not acknowledging isrealis have one of the best pilots.

Now lets get back to the Thread topic.

thats not true - the production figures are 15 - 2011 --- 20 - 2012 --- 25 - 2013 onwards. china will also produce a/c to complete the 150 order.

two possibilities.
first

the chineese will deleiver us tested and fully manufactured JFT with new avionics and Pakistan will continue manufacturing of JFT 2nd batch apart from the 50 the china is developing

if pakistan manufacture 25 JFT per year than 100 by 2015.and 50 from china and 50 the block I.so total 200 JFT by 2015.

2nd possibility.
china might help us in supplying the kits of JFT to be assembled at kamra and the deleivery within 6 months or weeks were rumours
