Pak air force narrows gap as IAF struggles to get fighter jets

[omega supremme]

16 jf-17s during a year.this is a very high rate.this high rate is a big problem for iaf.

Production of 16 JF 17s was till 2014 we are capable of producing upto 25 if required every year and Pakistan is now producing somewhat near 20 to 22 JF-17's, now this is whether due to orders from other countries or PAF trying to fill their own numbers quickly.

They will finish producing JF17s block 2 to the 100 mark and then start producing for the export market. Until block 3 production is ready to start in 2019 I think

Here we go again,

This is one of those thousands of paid articles - that are paid for by defense companies that are meant to propagate dire situations so that sales are made.

So all those articles about rape and poverty in India are really all paid articles trying to get more money for those unscrupulous poor people and rape victims?

In the end of the day, the one Airforce with better strategy and situation awareness will win the battle. Comparing Aircraft vs Aircraft is futile. It has been proven again & again.

It all looks good on paper with pumped up figures.
Firstly compared to Block-52s, the SU-30 may carry the double load of BVRs not sure where did you come up with 5 times figure.....in any case, how much advantage does that give when a single round can blow any aircraft out of the sky.... and we both know how the lighter aircraft with shoot and scoot tactics have left these giant platforms vulnerable....

Hi,

10 BVR compared to 2 is 5 times the load---. The russian aircraft's ability to shoot a volley of 3-4 bvr's per target is something not taken lightly.

Actually all PAF F-16s can carry upto six BVRs.(The Lima rounds can be also be replaced with 120s)

Last year the JF-17 production was only 16.

The 16 production is for our requirements there are some additional also produced as at the moment the orders mostly given for JF-17s are not very big hence only Pakistan is creating them for the foreign supplies as well. When a big order will come in than Pakistan may produce up to it's limits and China will also do the production to meet the requirements.

NOTE: Additional aircraft are not mentioned as they are for foreign countries, Pakistan tells the numbers of JF-17s produced for PAF only.

Yup , like everything else India acquires, the trailer Tejas is also the game changer.

If it was, Tejas would have been the front-line fighter and not the MKI or Rafale. Unfortunately, you guys have to claim the JF-17 is the "game-changer"..of course insecurities because of that would be a natural byproduct or illusions, both of which we witness in plenty with the fanboys here on PDF.
