So far, the reported bird colour scheme....

and the news regarding confirmation of JF-17/FC-1 for Myanmar along with possible name change and modifications.



"It is confirmed that Myanmar is buying FC-1/JF-17 but as per the article, as far as it can be understood, says that the Myanmar Modified A/C would be called with new name???"

Sina exclusive interview with Myanmar military said it had bought the Burma Army Air Force fighter Xiaolong

Congrats PAF n Pakistani bhaion.
$ 35 mill/piece ? And which block?
if $35 mill a piece then definitely it is block 2 or 3.

To Myanmar It will be JFT B OR Block 3 Block 2 is out of list...

Confirmed deals: Nigeria, Myanmar
Confused deal: Sri Lanka
Interested deals: Qatar, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia
Canceled deals: Argentina, Malaysia

Hopefully numerous nations will consider blk3 for export. It will be best replacement out there for Mig21/F5 operators.

Should Egypt be included in this list?

IMO it would be JF-17 B or Block 2 as block 3 is not ready yet, it will take time.

most probably JFTB...THe same time it will introduced and the same time it will be handed over to MAF

 

[C130]

if this is block 3 with AESA with a good deal on a weapons package, then nice buy

but for $15 million more they could be buying Mig-35 which is superior, but would cost more to fly and maintain compared to JF-17

@Windjammer

No EGYPT is not buying thunder...There were rumors but NO.

Mig-35 which are superior

More than block 3..???
NO WAY..

 

[khanasifm]

All counties which buy from China plus some new one because of pak will eventually buy but jf need something like k8 Egyptian customer which bought 4/5 sqn in number 80/120

If we add all Chinese african customers then 1 to 2 sqn by half a dozen coutries like sudan, Zimbabwe etc Chinese are also trying to sell to south Americans to add new market

Pak focus is also on new Russian republics like Turkiamistan Azerbaijan etc

Total 100 to 200 export number is feasible in next decade or so

Current 16 plus what ever is the final no for Nigeria rumors 20 i.e about 36 for now

Operational and Maintenance Cost will be much lower compared to Mig-35 of JFT ..
Put a AESA + HOBS and Moderate EW Suit in JF it will Take Mig-35 head on
might get the kill because of large RCS of Mig's

The officers of the Myanmar Air Force confirmed that the purchase of a JF-17 «Thunder» fighter jets was approved. They said the order was part of a deal signed by China, Pakistan , and Myanmar.

Le 1er Novembre dans l’après-midi, les journalistes du média chinois Sina.com ont rencontré le chemin des officiers de l’armée de l’air Birmane, ces derniers ont confirmé « avec certitude » l’achat de l’avion de chasse sino-pakistanaais FC-1.

Quant à la quantité concernée par cette acquisition, les officiers birmans ont refusé d’y répondre. Mais selon une source israélienne datant du mois de Janvier cette année, une commande de 16 appareils aurait été passée avec un prix unitaire de 35 millions de dollar US.

Au niveau des avions de combat, l’armée de l’air Birmane est dotée aujourd’hui d’une cinquantaine de vieux chasseurs chinois J-7M et d’une trentaine de MiG-29, ainsi qu’une vingtaine d’avion d’attaque Air-Sol Q-5.

Leur pilotes s’entraînent aussi avec des jet de formation chinois Nanghang K-8. L’arrivée de FC-1, de conception chinoise, devrait donc faciliter la prise en main par les pilotes qui ont déjà l’habitude de voler sur les appareils fabriqués en Chine.

Interrogé sur leur opinions autour de deux autres avions de chasse chinois J-10 et J-20, les officiers birmans indiquent qu’ils les « adorent », mais le pays n’a pas besoin de ce genre d’avion.

Durant la visite, ces mêmes officiers de l’armée de l’air Birmane ont manifesté de fort intérêt à un mini-jet biplace de surveillance, le « Aerial Survey Star » (航测之星), du groupe électronicien chinois CETC. Ils ont confirmé également leur intention d’achat sur ce modèle.

As per PAF sourcez, Myanmar was the first country to place an order, so they were ahead of Nigeria.

Based on saf inventory they will eventually replace it with Chinese /PAC as their current fighter inventory is almost all same origin Cj-6/k8/j7

Overhauled by PAC, even saf c-130s are now being overhauled/repaired (Pdm) by paf per paf history 1999-2013

Hi,

But the if you add a little more to that---then you can get to the next step after the mig35---.

Then it becomes just like buying a car---. I went to buy a toyota Rav4 LE---and drove out with an XLE---.

Myanmar made a very wise decision---it went with a tested and a reliable system---all weapons are available---all parts are available and after sales service won't be a problem.
