Burma to Purchase Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Fighter Jets

[Donatello]

And Pakistan will not be supplying anything to Myanmar even if it purchases JF-17.
They are buying FC1, that should clear things to you.

You do realize that FC-1 is not in production, it is only the JF-17 that is in production. FC-1 is Just the Chinese internal designation. It is yet to be seen If Myanmar is ordering JF-17 and if so, which version. They can customize it (like PAF did) and call it some other designation.

So please, don't be stupid and naive.

I said that it should have been an indication. No equipment will be ordered from Pakistan. So a Pakistani who was saying that Pakistan's internal needs have to be fulfilled first has misplaced concerns.

If Myanmar purchases the JF-17, then all equipment will be supplied by China. It would not impact Pakistani production line, which currently is in itself heavily dependent on China for supply for equipment.

A great slap to Hasina, who is only buying trainers after trainers to keep Indians happy.

It would be very nice if BD bought a few squadrons of JF-17's as well as a couple of squadrons of J-10B's.

There is no production line in china ... sunshine... only PAC has the production lines running.. and as of "last year" almost 90% of the avionics and over 70-75% of the body was produced in Pakistan which is increasing the production capacity... and new facilities are already set up ... apart from tht Pak owns 55% of the project .. so any profit will be equally divided between CAC and PAC...

How are Burmese Muslims related to the JF-17 sale by Pakistan?

This is normal nation state business which everyone is doing. The Rohingas need to learn to live in peace by themselves.

but kashmiris are suffering not the rohingyas and uyghurs because there is interest there right ?

"last year" almost 90% of the avionics and over 70-75% of the body was produced in Pakistan which is increasing the production capacity.

The PAC website states the following regarding the production of the JF-17 airframe:

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) holds the exclusive rights of 58% of JF-17 airframe co-production work. A comprehensive infrastructure comprising state of the art machines and required skilled human resource has very quickly been developed at the Complex. The final assembly and flight testing of the aircraft was the first JF-17 co-production activity to start at PAC. The first PAC produced aircraft was handed over to Pakistan Air Force in November 2009. Since then, aircraft are being produced regularly to meet the required schedule. The co-production of sub assemblies and structural parts has also commenced and is sequentially attaining the sustained production status.

For Pakistan's contribution to the Avionics Suite, please see the thread being maintained by @Aeronaut
Avionics Systems produced by Pakistan.

Thanks,but is there info on percentage of components produced by Pakistan ?

A large number of Parts are only made in Pakistan, from metal structures to printed circuit boards. The radar is also assembled in Pakistan, China does not have a production line to assemble and put them together in a shape of a plane, and thus it cannot supply pre-built parts to Myanmar in large numbers. Now whether Myanmar or any other nation buys JF-17 fully produced or want production line, that's up to them, but considering their small requirement and technical/financial resources required to set up a production line, they would probably opt to go for fully fly-able JF-17s, and as such the only plane that produces them is PAC. Pakistan took the load as it was involved in the project from the gitgo. Plus Pakistan is a sharing partner in FC1/JF-17 program, so any deals will make sure that PAC would get it's share of work. Otherwise Pakistan WOULD NOT be pushing JF-17 for export.

Now i can understand why are you blabbering non-sense (by looking at your flag) so i would suggest you offer your expert opinions to those at HAL for fixing LCA.

It mentions 58% for work on the airframe. So that would be the 58% components made in Pakistan in that regard. From spars/panels to whatever. It was also mentioned by former director of the program in an interview (should be somewhere on this forum, as i read it here on PDF) that slowly this 58% would be pushed upwards to 70%

It would be nice but I don't see that happening as long as "that league" is in power.

Yeah, I know the sad reality.

 

[Metanoia]

This is good news...finally a part of all that hard work paying off.

so you think it is morally okay to support brutal regimes by supplying weapons that may be used to bomb innocent people? thats like pakistan selling tanks to Serbian government back in 1990s when muslims were being persecuted.

 

[Metanoia]

Pakistan and Burma have a very cordial relationship on government to government basis. The people would like to believe differently but that is not how the state works.

That is an internal matter, it should not be a hindrance in state interaction. The Rohingyas are Burmese nationals and thus their interaction with the state or other groups within their borders cannot be an influencing factor in our foreign policy. To put it very plainly, they are not our responsibility, it is a business opportunity and if we don't take it, someone else gladly will.
