This bird is wicked. A great rival to JF-17.

The bay looks much smaller compare to hercules C-130. Why didn't they go for Y-9? It will be much modern although the bay will still be the same.

Well... our Budget was already gone for dozens of JF17 Block 2.. we're currently operate total 6 Y8s and still meet with our requirement with low price... in near future , Y9 will be considerable cargo planes to replace our aging Y8 fleet. but it will not happened till 2020...

Actually Shaanxi Y-8 Cargo Bay is in the same size with C-130 Hercules.

Shaanxi Y-8 Cargo Bay = 13.5 x 3 x 2.4 m
Hercules C-130 E/H/J Cargo Bay = 12.19 x 3.02 x 2.74 m

And yes, Shaanxi Y-9 is much modern, bigger and better capabilities.
But, Shaanxi Y-9 is more Expensive than Y-8.

With Myanmar Air Force Budget, maybe that's why they choose Y-8 instead much modern Shaanxi Y-9.

Shaanxi Y-9 is a Beautiful Aircraft

The Zambian air force showed off its new Hongdu L-15Z advanced trainer/light attack aircraft at the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) show, held September 14 to 18 at Waterkloof AFB near Pretoria, South Africa. One aircraft was placed on static display while the other took part in the daily airshow. Although the type has made appearances at several Chinese shows, and also at MAKS in Russia, this is believed to be its first showing at a Western event.

Zambia ordered six L-15s in early 2014 to become the first export customer for the type. The first aircraft flew in December 2015, allowing training to begin. An initial batch, believed to comprise three aircraft, was delivered for service with No. 15 Squadron at Lusaka in July. Deliveries are due for completion in the first quarter of next year. Venezuela has also ordered the L-15, while China itself has received a small number with the designation JL-10.

Developed with technical assistance from the Yakovlev Design Bureau and first revealed in mock-up form in 2004, the Hongdu L-15 first flew on March 13, 2006. The aircraft has been developed in two versions: an advanced jet trainer (AJT) with non-afterburning Ivchenko/Progress AI-222-25 engines and an advanced fighter trainer (AFT) with a range of weapon options and afterburning AI-222K-25 engines, which confer supersonic capability. The prototypes flew with ZMKB/Progress (Lotarev) DV-2 engines. China’s Gas Turbine Research Establishment has developed an engine known as the Minshan that may power future production aircraft, although this might be a version of the AI-222.

Zambia’s aircraft are in theAFT configuration, with a small fire control radar that is believed to be a PESA (passive electronically scanned antenna) system. The aircraft have wingtip launch rails for PL-5E air-to-air missiles and can carry a PC-2AI23-mm cannon pod on the centerline. Four hardpoints allow the carriage of various weapons, including 250-kg and 500-kg bombs, HF-18D 57mm rocket pods, LS-6 GPS-guided bombs and the TL-10/YJ-9E air-to-surface missile. Zambia has ordered all of these weapons.

For the Zambian air force the L-15 represents a major step-up in capability and introduces the service to fly-by-wire controls and a modern aircraft with embedded training systems. Zambia already operates the Hongdu K-8 jet trainer, with the MiG-21 as its front-line fighter. Two K-8s from the Zimbabwe air force also attended the AAD show.

i think probably more to KAI's T-50 or FA-50 and Russia Yak-130 than JF-17..

T-50 and L-15 are actually more suit for small air force than JF-17. They are already configure in twin seat mode. Can act as strike aircraft, trainer and fighter jet due to its after burner and more powerful engine, giving them the thrust needed as fighter. Small air force need not buy so many aircraft to do so many task.

JF-17 is an aircraft build to suit PAF needs, the lack of twin seat is a big drawer back Becos small airforce do not have the luxury of bigger airforce with experience pilot transit from other aircraft like F-16. L-15 has a better export prospect for China as most of our allies are small airforce only. If not for the Ukraine civil war, I heard Ukrainr airforce too want to induct it.

ok bro.. but i want to know L-15 can carry anti-ship missile..?

C-705 small antiship missile against corvette but not C-802.

Video of the model on display at the African defense expo. Model itself seems a bit crude. The actual laser has a variable output wattage between 5KW and 30KW. Stat-wise, it appears to be superior to the "Low-altitude Guard I" we saw in 2014 since it could shoot down drones within a range of 4 KM, twice that of the "Low-altitude Guard".

The quality of Chinese weapons have no doubt set new quality standard year by year.

• The quality has been quite wonderful just for example the Al Khalid Tank , flawless Tank (Collaborative effort with China)
• JF17 Thunder , another quality product

Now the new Helicopters Z-10 & F22P frigate another mile stone

Pakistan wishes to see more collaboration on Next generation of Frigates.

The best part of modern Chinese Engineering practice is QUALITY product

• Minimum crashes in J10B Thunder
  
• Minimum crashes in F22P frigate technology
  
• Minimum crashes in JF17 Thunder
• K-8 another reliable product

The list goes on and on , QUALITY & Effective choice = Chinese Engineering / Collaboration with Pakistan

You would need a wingman in more ways than one if that is the goal.
