Qatar's a wealthy country, but the majority of it's air-power is currently based on Mirage-2000s. JF17s equal or exceed their performance in many areas, so this would be a good fit.

(1:18 and onwards) The Pakistani Defence Minister reported he was informed(on a recent visit to China) that Chinese Premier Hu Jintao was very profoundly moved, to tears of joy and pride, on seeing JF17 Thunders flying escort for his VIP aircraft on his way to visit Islamabad. The Pakistani...

It's nice that he comes across as a very humble and unassuming person from the video. He actually seems a little nervous, as we all would in front of a large audience. This is a very informative presentation nevertheless. It seems that some critical specs of JF17 are higher than previous...

Absolutely, my point was that he could have worded this better. The Azerbaijan news sources have also said that while they'd like to get this jet, the manufacturer(Pakistan Aeronautical Complex) is completely busy with PAF's own orders. They said they'll get this "in the nearest years", so it...

Thanks! Lets hope you hear back from him soon... JF17 vs Eurofighter would be some super-exciting news. Hoping and praying that we were able to hold our own against it, like we did with the F-16s.

Mann I really dislike this Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar. Some of the comments he makes about the JF17 end up embarrassing this aircraft internationally rather than helping it. For example, the way he worded his statements about the JF17's affordability in that reuters interview(which Express...

If we follow your line-of-thinking, are all Pakistanis not to be helped/supported, and should be hated for the criminal actions of "their" government? Most governments in the Muslim world are lacking. The government in Pakistan only managed to come into power with American support, clearing all...

I'd like to ask about that line sticking out at the wing root(where the wing connects to the main body). I hadn't noticed this in the earlier models - is this something new that's been added recently?

Can you please ask Alan Warnes about the JF17 vs Eurofighter engagement? He mentioned this engagement last week, said he'll provide more info this week but hasn't so far. Here's what he's said so far...

@Mosamania your comment really made my day. I hope this Jet lives up to this name, over the course of it's lifespan. I personally feel that it's a huge mistake that many Muslim countries in the Middle East/Western Asiatic region either have compromised US-origin fleets, or really outdated...

Given that the excerpts are from Azeri news sources, that should answer your question. Other people are DEFINITELY interested in the JF17. Why wouldn't they be, this offers superb modern capabilities at a 3rd of the price. Imagine that, even after the Russians doubled the SU-30's price from <50...

The Korean F/A-50 enjoys the full benefits of involving Uncle Sam in it's development... They wanted to go for an European Vixen AESA radar, and the US forced them to choose an inferior Israeli radar. They wanted the EJ-200 turbofan, and had to go with the GE-404 which offers inferior thrust...

The F-16's video was much longer, there were times when it was making sharp turns and there were times when it appeared "lazy" as well. Also, it's video was professionally taken with a stabilized camera, most of the earlier vids of the JF17 have the whole frame jittering because it's being taken...

This image is my favorite coming out of Dubai so far. Quiet a striking bird we've got. I hope the potential sales announcement @nabil_05 mentioned goes through. If the JF17's second customer's Egypt, our negotiations probably factor in the question of what things and technology we want to...

Facinating and informative analysis @EjazR. The facts really do speak for themselves.

You have to understand the difference between an interpretation and a translation. I'll use an allegory to illustrate what I mean. Say in some English story like Jane Eyre, a character like Edward Rochester says, "The cat's out of the bag. I know everything". People who are familiar with...

Well this is a simple point that can easily be cleared up, logically. This is the Verse in Arabic(Surah Ad-Dhariyat, Ayat 47): The Arabic can be difficult to read for some people, so here's the transliteration: Wassamaa banaynahabi-aydin wa-inna lamoosiAAoon And here is a detailed analysis...

@wild_fire1979 Your talk about Harry Potter and cloud shapes is all very amusing, but it is not a concrete example or anything.Which Ayat/verses are you referring to specifically... you do not seem to have read the previous discussion on this thread. I gave specific examples above, to have a...

Well, if you read back to when SAARC was founded, a main concern of India's was that this would lead to smaller countries that it likes to keep nicely under it's thumb, grouping and collectively dealing with India. It's a pity that, other than Pakistan and China, most of India's neighbors are...

Hmm... Again, some interesting points raised here. You have to talk specifics though, you can't make a logical point while being vague. Which blatant lies specifically are you talking about, and what scientific facts? Which random quotations stretched beyond their original meaning? You need...
