I think China !

It is indeed china, as pakistan has not got an assembly line for this aircraft.
They saved it for JF-17..

good news

Now that's unfair and should be declared an illegal act in warfare!! I mean how the heck are any opponents supposed to shoot down such gorgeous pilots ???

On a more serious note, great going Pakistan for selling those planes to the Morales government. It is obvious that the Morales government has been put onto the CIA "hitlist" simply because they refused to submit to becoming a USA lackey in South America. I hope that those planes help them in their war efforts against the drug manufacturers in Sth America

 

[Musalman]

I think China !

Then why r we so happy !!! China is already selling this plane to other countries

 

[EagleEyes]

Not sure what is the big deal. Pakistan will not be making it.. May be some value in the deal, but even that i doubt it.

I think its still pretty good profit compared to the unit cost 3-3.5 m.
Selling price=close to 60million.

The news is reported by Geo TV, Master of Masala News. We should wait for ISPR/PAF version of news. Still if Pakistan is getting some share of the whole purchase, as the aircraft is jointly produced by Pakistan and China.

I think international laws should be laid down and strongly implemented that male pilots could not shoot a plane flown by female pilots.

specialized versions of fighter planes should be made which could be identified as the ones being flown by female pilots, there colour schems should also be different from conventional colour schemes, forexample instead of sky blue colour, Pink colour should be painted on the fighters flown by the female pilots.

this introduction of female squadrens will be the introduction of the latest and most lethal technology even advanced to stealth, it should be called "distraction technology".

 

[Aamir Hussain]

Dear All:

If Bolivia is set to use this plane for COIN ops. why are'nt we?

Wot a great idea !!! Actually make all international nuke and airforce personel women. In that way they would make their arsenal beautiful with the sole aim of not utilising it so as to preserve its beauty.

Where will these planes be produced? Pakistan or CHina?

i think in pakistan
