[Shabi1]

yes..!! that headline said We bought 16 JF-17 with $ 560 m.. but there is no detail about deal... such as Block 1 or Block 2.. include or exclude the weapons and training cost...

then i got one question... 16 we bought are block 1 or 2..? what it can be. anyone know...? hope to be block-2....

Will likely be Block-2, that is the standard production model now. All Block-1s in PAF being updated to Block-2 as well.

1- No blk-I in production ... so it must be blk-II
2- if thirty five million usd price is confirmed then in my opinion (which may be wrong) it includes Training & 'basic weapon package' for the jet, for additional weapons 'if needed' separate contract with China will be concluded by Mayanmar ...

Forget WMD-7. CHinese are testing new ATP on J-10 B these days by the name of OC-5

any link of ATP OC-5?

 

[Mughal-Prince]

that's $35 mil per jet. If this cost includes weapons and training then its quite low.

It says including training and weapon systems that means most probably the whole aircraft may comprised of Chinese and Pakistani sub systems and weapons package thats why its reasonable cost and I believe it also includes the support systems at home.

Indian pressure stalls Pakistani JF-17 sale to Sri Lanka
Rahul Bedi, New Delhi - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
10 January 2016

Key Points

• Indian diplomatic pressure seems to have stalled Sri Lankan plans to procure JF-17 Thunder fighters from Pakistan
• Pakistan has been looking to close a deal for 10-12 JF-17s for around USD400 million

Diplomatic and political pressure by India is believed to have stalled Sri Lankan Air Force (SLAF) plans to procure JF-17 Thunder fighters from Pakistan, which the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) developed jointly with China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC).

Official sources in New Delhi said this influence had prevented Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif from closing a deal for 10-12 JF-17s for around USD400 million during his visit to Colombo from 4 to 7 January.

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.

I think the color scheme of JF17 looks much better than Tejas. Tejas uses a darker color for its upper portion, which looks less shiny.
