Fatman17 is right, JF-17's objective has always been to equip PAF, the additional orders are bonuses.
Availability of UCAVs have lessened chances of Gulf orders but it still will offer the ability to carry the type of weapons western suppliers refuse to supply. Gulf orders threaten US interests so should not be pushed for. JF-17 exports prospects will dramatically change once Block-3 is operational and it has to be remembered there will be NG variants of JF-17 in form of future blocks. PAF was never interested in a JF-17B and it was developed for a export client request, so will soon find out which nation it was intended for. If there was real desperation for orders JF-17 would have been offered to Iran which will not happen because of the host of problems it will create for the future of this jet. Patience needed.
They dont have money
Last I checked, Venezuela was oil rich, and unlike the Saudis, Qataris, Kuwaitis & Emiratis, Venezuela has a large population and the Oil money is spent on the welfare of the citizens of the State. They've been doing this since Hugo Chavez came to power. They have the money, but American economic mafia prevents Venezuela to conduct commerce. Just like America has done with Iran. Best case scenario, if the Venezuelan Govt really wants to buy Thunders, is for the deal to be conducted in Chinese Yuans (Pakistani Rupee is too weak at the moment). Currency swaps is one method to bypass U.S economic mafia. The question still remains, whether Venezuela would rather buy twin engine jets like the MiG-35s or Su-35s. But if it Thunders, then PAC/CAC better get their game face on and ramp up production. Regardless, we ought to wait and see what happens.
Had you checked again, you would have known better.
Venezuela is broke.
Inflation is sky rocketing
internal structure of the country is under stress.
Hi,
Who in this day and age does not know that Venezuela is a financially broke nation---!

The reason is simplethere may be multiple threads with following question asked before...but kindly re-answer the same...
"why China/ PLAAF does not use JF-17 for replacing its old J-7/other jets?"
also, wouldn't it be counter productive that to give extra burden on shoulders of PAC of supply/maintenance of JF-17 of foreign air forces after sales?
Umm a country's "WEALTH" is weighed in based on how much natural resources it has, quantity and quality of its agricultural products, finished goods and services it is able to export. In terms of natural resources and agricultural goods, Venezuela is well endowed. The "broke" part you so casually flaunt about the country, is directly caused by American meddling. By isolating Venezuela in its home continent, having pro-western countries not trade in currency swaps, barter or otherwise. This adversely affects Venezuela's ability to trade and that has a very direct effect on its GDP. Venezuela has an abundance of oil, and it's just a matter of time before they along with the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, the rest of BRICS+SCO+EU figure out how to neutralize America's WB, IMF, Swift global payment system and the Petro-Dollar. Once there are alternatives to bypass American hegemony, like ADB is the counter weight to WB/IMF. Countries like Brazil and Argentina, would forge closer trade ties with Venezuela. So your premise that Venezuela is broke, isn't accurate, the country isn't broke because it has nothing to trade. It's broke because of external playing a dirty game by attempting to isolate it. They did it with Iraq, Argentina, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Vietnam and the lost goes on.
Pakistan can sell the JF-17 Thunders to Venezuela and Argentina, using currency swaps with using Chinese Yuan as a median or reserve currency.
don't you feel a little suspicious that china is "reluctant" to induct Thunder in PLAAF?
you have no comments on my second Q above?
i will not indulge in comparing Tejas Vs Thunder because there already are too many threads dedicated for that.
To satisfy Indian ego, why else. Forget the doctrine and completely different requirements of PLAAF and PAF.The real question should be "Why PLAAF needs JF-17 while having several ACs platforms as per their need/requirement?"
The reason is quite simple.don't you feel a little suspicious that china is "reluctant" to induct Thunder in PLAAF?
you have no comments on my second Q above?
Yes PlAAF is reluctant cuz jft is inferior to j10 ....which they already have.don't you feel a little suspicious that china is "reluctant" to induct Thunder in PLAAF?
