IF they want them...i think Turkey has done alot so as Pakistan in reward we should give them some JF-17s

Rights of airframe are 50:50 based on funding...but I am 100% sure export to Turkey will be approved very quickly. I think JF-17 would be a decent replacement for the F-5 in Turkish Air Force.Actually the idea of JF-17 ain't so bad at all, IMO Turkey should take it into concideration. There is only one thing, does the JF-17 really belong to Pakistan with all it's rights or does China have the rights?
SIgh!....they are part of the F-35 program............

I don't know where you gathered the above from but it is completely false.Ada class corvette / F-100 class frigate
Eight of the twelve Milgem class warships will be named the Ada class and will be classified as corvettes, while four of them will be named the F-100 class and will be classified as frigates.
The F-100 class will feature a significantly longer hull and be equipped with the Mk.41 VLS and ESSM, along with other additional systems for improved multirole combat capability. The Mk.41 VLS (Vertical Launching System) is capable of firing RIM-66 Standard, RIM-162 ESSM and VL ASROC missiles, and the F-100 class frigates will be used as a testing platform for the new class of four indigenous AAW frigates of the Turkish Navy, known as the TF-2000 program. The experience and technological know-how gained with the Milgem project will play an important role in determining the design characteristics and the development process of the TF-2000 class frigates, as well as the selection of the systems and equipment which will be used on these ships.
Replacement for the F-5 is not an option since Turkey doesn't use the F-5 as a fighter aircraft but as a lead-in fighter (trainer aircraft). Turkey has upgraded the avionics of the F-5's with HUD and MFD's to serve as advanced lead-in fighter.Rights of airframe are 50:50 based on funding...but I am 100% sure export to Turkey will be approved very quickly.

I agree...but keep in mind that the JF-17 platform will evolve to include:Replacement for the F-5 is not an option since Turkey doesn't use the F-5 as a fighter aircraft but as a lead-in fighter (trainer aircraft).

I was thinking more in the lines of backup fighter with Turkish avionics installed to it.
The first line of fighters in the future will consist of about 100 - 116 F35A aircraft, second line of aircrafts of 240 modernized F16 block 50+ and third line about 100 modernized F-4's.
So to recap
100 - 116 F35A
240 modernized F16 block 50
100 modernized F-4's
JF17 (although honestly saying that the chance is small) could function as light bomber / fighter equipped with Turkish avionics. Turkey is strongly interested in building advanced military electronics hardware including missiles etc. whereby the JF-17 platform could serve the goal.
Dear Mark Sien, I am absolutely not opposed to the idea of JF17 I am only trying to look at the matters objectively. If the advanced version of JF17 is to be ready by 2015 then Turkey will already have received the first F35's.This variant should be ready by 2015, and I think it could be a cheap contender to replace Turkey's older F-16s and serve as a "start-off" fighter for new pilots before they move on to more expensive fighters like JSF.
