Karakorum - 8 (K-8) | Jet Trainer Aircraft.

Apparently the K-8 will be fulfilling that role for some time..
unless the L-15 ends up replacing the FT-5's.

it will be the JL-9 trainer.

at US$20m/aircraft - too expensive.

@fatman17

@fatman17

how many FT-6s?

There are 25-30 FT-5s in service.

15-20 FT-6s in service.

why don't Pakistan join JL-9 or L-15. I believe they are more capable than K-8 and can be used as attack aircraft in war time crisis. It can also train pilots for coming soon J-10, F-16 high-tech aircraft.
