What's new

JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

They don't really have any enemies, none worthy of having a strong air force for at least.

Yeah, but 3?

Maybe it's an initial order and they will slowly build up to a single squadron which even for a country with no enemies is a reasonable

Nigerian Thunder,,, all three Ns are likely to be delivered by the end of this year.

Correct, they will buy 1 squadron of 12, finances is the hurdle. They have also purchased 10 Mushshak trainers.

PAF totally redesign the JF-17bk3 like Mitsubishi F-2
25% larger wing span
taller like Mirage fighter
than this will help thunder to carry better weapon payload
ie AA & AG weapons
PL-15 & Raad missiles
otherwise thunder bk-3 will be same like bk-2

Please correct. PAF did not design this aircraft. This was done in China.
