JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

@Rashid Mahmood @Sulman Badshah @Bilal Khan (Quwa) can you please explain this part? What is meant by TEUs?

Technical escort unit.

It's not Technical Escort Unit. That particular TEU was a one-of-a-kind US military unit used for transporting CBRNE materials and equipment and responding to crisis involving nuclear, biological, radiological or nuclear materials, so definitely not what Damen, a ship maker, was referring to.

TEU in this case means "Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit" and is a reference to PNS Yarmook having space to two standard 20 foot containers, some of which can be outfitted with materials to support special missions.

This ship down in this cut-away is one of Damen's OPV designs, similar in apperance to PNS Yarmook. It can carry 3-4 20 foot containers. PNS Yarmook is either a tad smaller or has additional structures or features internally which prevent an additional container from being carried internally.

These might look like standard shipping containers, but often they contain gear for special forces, AUVs or UAVs, submersibles, diving gear, that kind of thing.

These are TEUs. Standard 20 foot containers, but outfitted with all kinds of non-traditional cargo

Navy suit and tie uniform looks great. Army and air force should learn from them.

Come on guys, if you are serious with the names of the Ships belonging to Pakistan then there are plenty of options such PNS Indus, PNS Gasherbrum, PNS Khyber, PNS Tirich Mir, PNS Broadpeak, PNS Derawar, and so on.

Mainly A naval term TEUs [Twenty-foot equivalent unit] meant for cargo specially designated to ship containers

A very good post. However I will point out another factor and a huge advantage which the JFT has given us. That is fleet replenishment and incorporating a wide array of armaments in a cost effective manner. This effectively allows PAF to remain relevant now and in future by simply upgrading its home grown platform at a nominal cost. 10 16/52s were costing us 800 million whereas for this much we can construct 20 to 25 platforms of our local fighters and equip them with all relevant weaponry. In house assembly of key note weapons will also expand our knowledge base and allow us to tinker with our weapons. At 1/10th of what IAF is spending on the rafales we will have a significantly improved fighter of our own.

And that's precisely what I meant by Thunder redefining the conventional deterrence [emoji4]

In that respect navy should learn from army and air force.

There are speculations about this boat being just for maritime role.My question is, do we have that much extra funds to buy expensive but lightly armed ships?I mean shouldn't we but all in one options, rather spending money on simple boats?
Thanks

No Air Defence and Radars? No Torpedo Launching Capability?

I hope Swift Corvettes comes too

Its a boat, so definitely its realm of operation is within maritime domain. What else you want it to do? Climb mountains? Fly in air?

The ship doesn't have a radar or any jamming equipment installed. Any idea about the potential sensor suite to be installed alongside the armament?

Pn ships heli deck is smaller may be only z9 /4 ton and no need for heavier sea king class 10-12 ton

Are u talking about these Damen corvettes or our all ships including Milgems and Type 054As?

The Joint Fighter Jet platform , built by Pakistan & China , is now almost 13 years old.
The fighter jets arrived on the scene at the height during War on Disturbances and they have played a vital role to freshen and liven up the Air Force with fresh breed of potent Air Machina (Machines)

No longer is Pakistani airforce only reliant on F7 and Mirages (upgraded) to defend it's airspace , now the Pakistani Airforce can boldly state that they can give any intrusive uninvited guest a rude awakening no matter what would be their ill intention.

Block 1 - JF17 Thunder Guardians of Pakistani Airspace

Block 2 , JF17 with Air - Air refuelling

2019 has had been also a benchmark period as we saw the arrival of the Twin Seat variants which can play a vital role to Train new pilots and also have a great impact for better air/ground operation capabilities



BLOCK 2 - JF17 Thunders

The plane has regularly graced multiple Air Flying Jet sale exhibitions and have attracted the interest of crowd as an eye candy

Pakistan has slowly matured the planes , to take up advanced level responsibility within the airforce, with continuous improvement in various capability matrices of the plane various records have been set

• Accident-free flight hours

• Advance level and capacity to produce 12-16 units per year

• Performance upgrade to revitalize the First generation Thunders with MLU

• Engine Repair and installation capabities

• Addition of Refueling capability to allow thunders to fly advance level distances

• Addition of Enhanced Sniper pods from Turkey for pinpoint Ground missions
