YANGON — Myanmar has ordered a fleet of Chinese-designed fighter jets worth more than half a billion US dollars from Pakistan, an Israeli online defence magazine has reported.

Myanmar placed an order “in 2015” for 16 JF-17 Thunder jets, each worth US$35 million, Defense Updatereported on January 11.

Myanmar was the first country to order the jets from Pakistan, the report said.

It said the jets were designed and developed by the state-run Aviation Industry Corporation of China to meet Pakistani requirements for a lightweight, affordable fighter jet.

The Pakistan Air Force was making the jets at its Pakistani Aeronautical Complex at Kamra in the northern Punjab.

“The Complex produced 16 JF-17 Block II Thunder aircraft in 2015,” the report said.

Baber Sher... IFR CHANGED FINALLY

Much Much better than this Plumbing

Most probably they borrowed it from J-10 A/B

That's slightly different from the old IFR probe that was installed before.Yes, it resembles more with that which is used on the J-10, for obvious reasons.

Thanks for the share.

Isn't the probe from South Africa?

Finally JF-17 with a much Better looking IFR probe....

Jet no 29 and Block II So they said that IFR probe will be installed to every jet after 29 jet will be made....

 

[S.U.R.B.]

Isn't the probe from South Africa?

Correct.Both can do the job.To me it seems that this will come down to user's preference.

 

[Paksanity]

New refuelling probe looks like a descendent of J-10 probe. As expected J-10 technologies are trickling into JF-17.

What is that? A new MAW sensor? But it is only on one side. Strange.
