Export bids for JF-17 Thunder Multirole Lightweight Fighter Aircraft

This is very very nice, if real !

I always thought that if Egypt and Pakistan can get together, to build aircraft then there is nothing which can beat this combo.

Lets do it ASAP; Saudi Arabia will join in !

I never heard of this...

We already ordered 15 KT-1T from KAI in April 2015 as a stop-gap solution until we begin producing Hurkuş...

super mushak may be for low cost observation aircraft fitted with turkish systems... You dont want to send in F-16 if mushak can perform the same roll..

Responding to Ambassador’s interest, the minister said during the meeting that Pakistan is currently selling its weapon production to USA, United Kingdom, Germany and Far-East.

The defence minister proposed sale of JF-17 as well as Super Mashak to Egypt while bragging off Iraq’s signing an agreement to buy a score Super Mashak and Turkey’s agreement to buy 52 Super Mushak is almost done.

Pakistan only sells small arms to be used in shooting ranges for the west.. not that we are providing high tech 5th gen stealth..

Buying JF-17 is the very same reason why they buy China K-8. They want an aircraft with low maintenance while giving them more input in dealing with production of aircraft. This is something buying a Mig-29 will not accomplished. MIg-29 is a fine aircraft but Mig is nototious company when comes to spare and repair plus the 2 engine is quite hefty maintenance problem especially for not a rich country like Egypt.
the k8 is an exception as the aircraft performed similar to wester aircrafts [bae hawk] at the time. and it made sense to buy it.
mig 29's and typically Russian jets as a whole are notoriously maintenance intensive. the mig 29 engine, the rd-33 is similar to the the jf-17 engines which is the rd-93, and the rd-93 as done 7000 hours and it hasnt skipped a beat. so reliability of the engines is something i may disagree with.

Egypt is surviving on Saudi aid..they do not have any pockets..
their pockets are shrinking too. and that goes for other regional countries that are regional allies of saudi arabia too.

i can write a report which is completely false and inflated. Pakistan and turkey is working on defense cooperation. where has that led to?
no anka
no hurkus
no milgem
no tf2000
no t129


the only thing i can remember the mtrp -33 and armored vehicles.

the tfx is an option but unlikely as china will undercut them by a huge margin.
also what they can get in turkey, they can also get in china for a fraction of what turkey is offering.

whats left?

ISLAMABAD: Egyptian Ambassador to Pakistan, Sherif Shaheen met minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain and showed his country’s attention to purchase Pakistan’s JF-17 Thunder.

Responding to Ambassador’s interest, the minister said during the meeting that Pakistan is currently selling its weapon production to USA, United Kingdom, Germany and Far-East.

The defence minister proposed sale of JF-17 as well as Super Mashak to Egypt while bragging off Iraq’s signing an agreement to buy a score Super Mashak and Turkey’s agreement to buy 52 Super Mushak is almost done.

Lauding Egypt’s potent and close relations with Pakistan, Tanvir said Egypt is ardent for collaboration in the area of defence production.

“A close cooperation between the two countries will also help other Muslim countries over the world,” added the defence minister.

The Egyptian Ambassador expressed his country’s wish to collaborate in defence production as the core of ties between Pakistan and Egypt.

The Ambassador said that his country would send a defence delegation to pay a visit to have a brief look at the defence production establishments and look into purchasing defence weapons from Pakistan.
