JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

[PakFactor]

Hi,

It is a misnomer that the Jf17 is made as economical as possible---. That is farthest from the truth---.

The reason it is less expensive is due to the cost factor of the labor involved---. It is primarily not a " for profit " aircraft---but for personal usage---.

It is just like a car mechanic claiming that it cost him nothing to re-build the engine in his personal car---.

Labor cost is a big factor considering our workers always been on PAF payroll (Books), facility was always there just retooling was needed.

Hi,

It become very clear when you compare the wages of our techs to their techs and our engineers to their engineers---. And then the profit markup---.

No, clearly not. The PSD1 looks very much like a reverse engineered US Mk. 20 or CBU-100 Rockeye cluster bomb.

Good view of the slats and flaps that are slightly different from the A version.

How many squadrons we are getting once the JF17-II-B comes online?
We should be able to field at least 1 Squadron or retire a older squadron
