150th JF-17 Rolls out of PAC

[LKJ86]

Yeh, I still remember. China respond Pakistan's request to deliver 50 units of JF17 jets within six months to PAF after bin Laden killed by American. It's an emergency order.

50 units in 6 moths ?!
Awesome!

Well the information on that is that ''China is only producing their share of 40% of the air frame. The final assembly takes place at PAC''.

A few months ago we had inducted the 100th JF-17 into PAF. How can they make 50 in such a short amount of time? I don't think its legit news.

And we haven't overhauled 150 JF-17s.....so let's wait and see.

I remember it very clearly, should be no wrong.

I think both CAC and PAC can produce it. It's an emergency order, very unique.

In normal procedure China is only responsible for part of JF17 production.

CCTV reports it.

 

[hussain0216]

maybe it includes export builds

 

[Maxpane]

Confusing

 

[帅的一匹]

And that time there was also a breaking news that China will deliver 20 J-20 to Pakistan...

What about that?

I'm no joking, lots of Chinese members knows that.

I'm no joking, lots of Chinese members knows that.

Even I am not joking....

I read this news on various sources even at that wikipedia list J-20 on list of Pakistani air crafts.

And the reason why 40% of the airframe still produced by CAC is becos Paksistan aeronautical factory still not able to meet the requirement required by CAC.

 

[POPEYE-Sailor]

What ever, Now PAF has 150 units. On other hands LCA still in testing phase xD

Ok, so there is no question of CAC producing 50 JF-17s and supplying them to PAF. It will go on making the 40% of the work until PAC has achieved full capacity.

150 ordered units?


Good day gang, Tay.

150 ordered units?


Good day gang, Tay.

I doubt they can cap on the numbers at this stage, even if one was to ignore the 150 figure, it's believed that PAF has some 120 air frames currently and then the anticipated Block-3 and add to that the current export orders.

no, PAF does not have 150 JFT, this is a wrong news item. PAF has 98 operational JFT of them 8 are assigned to CCS. rest are broken into 5 operational squadrons. PAF to date has inducted 100 JFT's of that 2 examples crashed.

there is a plan to induct another 50 Blk 3 starting 2019 of that production should be in full swing. 2018 might see another 12 to 14 new JFT blk 2 to be produced for PAF. by end of 2018, PAF might have 110 fully operational JFT with maybe 4 dual seaters.
