I am sorry I cannot quote every post, it will make the work only longer.
But general reply:

1) All JF-17s are ready to serve, 38 are in service and pilot conversion is taking time for the third squadron. It is expected to raise be late September to mid October.
2) The diamond nosed aircraft is just a prototype which has been kept aside (as for now, other prototype is being worked on).
3) SD-10 is active and the JF-17s serving ADA at No. 16 and 26 Squadron have SD-10.
4) There is no problem with production line. The last batch of JF-17s was completed over around 15 months ago and have been under tests and trials, nothing to do with production.


Anything else?

Hi,
As nuclear capable Ra'ad Cruise missile Integration is in progress for the JF17,
In future, After test of Ra'ad cruise missile from JF17, then
Can we say that Jf17 is nuclear capable aircraft? As India is saying Rafale is nuclear capable!!

 

[Last Hope]

Ra'ad ALCM is NOT under the process of integration, as it already is. Because JF-17 can launch and carry three cruise missiles, yes JF-17 is a nuclear capable aircraft.

Lalay RAAD,MAR-1,SD-10,H-2,H-4,LSBs,C-802AK,LS6,C-803 etc etc are already integrated on the JFT...So yes JF-17s are nuke strike capable.

In my view, Integration and testing is like theoretically proposing something and Practically doing something. If RAAD is actually integrated than latest test of RAAD missile in late May from JF-17 would have boasted it's capabilities, because it's 4 years since JF-17 were inducted in PAF and 4 years are enough to test basic weaponry from some aircraft. But yet Raad was tested from Mirage, which shows JF-17 is still not trusted to Fire this weapon...

A basic question, Why not latest RAAD was tested from JF-17 rathey PAF chose 30 year old Mirage? JF-17 is 4 years old now and by now PAF must have known it's in's,out's,strengths and weaknesses. And yet they trusted Mirage? Which means RAAD was integrated on a static JF-17 just to check weather it does not faces integration issues like SD-10 A had

Three Ra'ad missiles, theoretical limit, not practically possible. due to RD-93 limits, Low Thrust to weight ratio. as 0.98 TWR is with After burners and operating TWR would be around 0.80 with dry thrust. or If JF-17 can operate on Afterburner for a longer period than your 3 Raad missile theory could be bought.

Which bring us to conclusion that Myth of integrating RAAD is another smoke screen being created just like IRST and other myths were created by insider sources

Our armed forces have the habbit of keeping important stuff secret.... just use ur logic... if old mirages can fire RAAD ALCMs than what on earth can stop the PAF from integrating it on a brand new indigenous fighter which is going to be our work horse?

What's so important and secret in showing RAAD being fired from JF-17? if that was the case, the JF-17 display banner in IZMIR would not have mentioned JF-17 can fire RAAD. There is no problem with integrating RAAD with JF-17. Problem is firing RAAD from JF-17 which PAF is not doing and making perception they are not trusting this Block-1 to carry this much weight under it's wings and that's something to ponder.

I guess Raa'd is yet nt integrated.

i)why was Raa'd inducted before..ii)and why would it be integrated in upcoming years

It was nt tested on JFT I as it simply cant carry a 1100kg.

ii) it would be integrated in the coming years as recently tests on JF-17 wings were done to strengthen them for more payload on each HArd point

 

[Nishan_101]

I am hopeful that the Block-IIs will be much better and would be produce in 150 in numbers and 150 Block-IIIs.
