Janes has quoted naf and the figure is over 2 dozen so assuming they want to replace all f-7 and alphabets plus older decommissioned Jaguars with jf-17s assuming over two dozen as 25 or over 24 Or so

This will be Pakistani defence industry’s first defence deal over a billion dollars

This sounds music to my ears, I swear and a tight slap in the face of those who used to say that Pakistan cant even make a needle.

I believe there is a forum round robin of Twitter posts and reposts following the usual pattern of spreading unverified news.

It may be a slow growth ~ 5 years or more to get all two sqn

Asked about future cooperation, author, analyst and former Pakistan Air Force pilot Kaiser Tufail anticipates incremental developments.

“The NAF has decided to induct the JF-17 in stages, as it does not have the wherewithal to support a full squadron strength all of a sudden. More aircraft are to be inducted in the coming months,” Tufail said.

This marks the latest development in the Pakistan Air Force’s involvement in the Nigerian Air Force’s modernization program.

What is the current production rate of the aircraft?

Congrats to Pakistan and CAC if true. I thought that three aircraft didn’t make any sense.

This indeed is a problem, Pakistan can build an atomic bomb and partially manufacture a fighter jet but our basic manufacturing structure is as strong as a spaghetti in hot water
