This is Dubai show not the Paris one.

I mean announcement of new customer ,earlier we had a similar announcement/news during Paris Air Show ,What`s so different about this news.

Two Points.

1: PAF Officials speak out over the first deal of JF 17 Thunder.

"The contract is already signed, but we will leave it to the customer to announce it first,” says Air Marshal Javaid Ahmed

He further adds Pakistan has full access to the JF-17’s source code, which gives it significant flexibility in tailoring the jet for customer requirements.

“Having the ability to do all the programming sends a very good message that whatever weapons they have, they can be integrated onto the aircraft. You don’t have to go China.”

2: A prototype JF 17 Thunder has flown with the new WS-13 engine which produces roughly 20,000 lbs of thrust : say Chinese officials during Dubai Air Show.

They further added J-31 will be powered by the same twin engines but currently J-31 is powered by Russian RD-93 turbofan engines.

I think its the same one, the statement from AVIC fails to differentiate that the buyer is a new one. Purni gari phir chamka rahay hain.

Could be, the Air Marshal Javaid Ahmed. said “The contract is already signed, but we will leave it to the customer to announce it first”.

Pakistan keeps mum on first JF-17 buyer

 

[pak avatar]

I thk this a second buyer
Wont make sense to announce the first deal again.

1) Burma
2) Nigeria

Both Burma and Nigeria are interested in JF-17. I think Burma finally signed the official contract to purchase 6 - 8 Thunder.

This probably has more to do with us than with them. As per most estimates the buyer is Myanmar, a country which ranks pretty low at the moment on the list of nations Pakistanis especially the right wing mullahs, see positively. The sale will probably be disclosed as the situation in Myanmar improves.

The "upgraded JF-17" refers to Blk II or III?

Block II probably...Hence 20% increase in production rate... And deliveries beginning from 2016.

Block III will probably start production from late 2017-18..
