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.
 
Last induction of JF 17 was in Feb 2018. After that, no news of new jf17s induction. Why?
 
One more sqn will be officially converted sometime this year

Assuming 12 plus two b models will go there, per last year program there were 7 sqn of jf in paf including ccs

7th is not know officially yet

No 2
No 14
No 16
No 26
No 28
Ccs

Are know so there is 7th one in process of conversion

IF
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
 
There are changes to block 3 but the nature is TBD public ally

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