Dubai Airshow 2011

[Last Hope]

Thats some news!.........Have there been an evaluation from Qatar, because at least there would have been going......And 1000 JFTs for China.....That is huge! means we can even have block II well below the price of Block I!

I got the figure of 1000 JF-17s for PLAAF from the JF-17 thread 4.
Our Researcher ANTIBODY posted it, from a columnist of Jang as source.
Cannot be sure. But yeah, China will raise Squadrons of Thunders, that is confirmed. This decision was made after performance in huhai.

One in the picture is C-802A.... Recently pt was tested with C-802A or C-803, not with C-802AKG...

802AKG is more advanced version, with the range of more than 200 Kms while 802A has range of 180 Kms.

Yeah I saw that. Thank you. The Thunder in that prototype is equipped with SD-10 and WS-13.

guys i have a question how will we manage to produce JF 17 for other countries if we get order of 100 JF 17s at least and at the same time China also go for thunders for PLAAF ............ our current production rate is 25 thunders year ..........we have our own demands for thunder at the same time ..... how it will become possible that we cope with big orders ?

What is the status of WS-13, will it supplant RD-93 in impending block II?

 

[Areesh]

Bangladesh isn't an option now. They aren't buying any aircraft for now.

H Khan released this word that Bangladesh is "very likely" to select JFT as their future fighter...there is also a thread in BD on this.

RD-93 will be insufficient in Block II due to additional weight added by AESA. RD-33MK and WS-13(B?) are the likely contenders

i doubt Bangladesh will ink a deal for the JFT; i know of no actual plan for the BAF to induct or even look into inducting new aircrafts, they have a small fleet of Mig-29s already

Azerbaijan, Nigeria and a few other countries are still showing keen interest. Qatar is new to me, but a possible deal for 20 aircrafts could be very encouraging

Wont they eventually replace their F-7s ?

They certainly will if they can flying F-7s for infinity.......With Indian Military Buildup, I see not only BD but also Srilanka eventually opting for JFT....

Well we may have started manufacturing but we still have a long way to go to become good sellers

Is it not the motto of arms dealers around the world to sell weapons one does not need and convince them they do

their F-7s aren't that old

Nice to hear RD-33MK or WS-13 in lieu of RD-93... In either cases we gonna have smokeless block II..

Are we in contact with Russians for RD-33MK? It is their latest variant of RD-33 after all.

 

[Hasnain2009]

we should not sell it to bangladesh, they wont buy more than 20 and bangladesh is puppet of india, india can get their hands on thunder via bangladesh.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

we are waiting anxiously but patiently for WS-13 program to reach fruition

Well I don't think there is any classified technology in JF-17 or is there ?
