Deino, why r u wasting ur energy, better put it somewhere useful for us.

There is no chance Pakistan can indegenesly produce a turbofan engine for fighter AC or Turboshaft for fixed rotor AC. These engines are the apex of materials and metallurgical engineering which I dont know Pakistan has any expertise. Best to JV with TAI subsidiary TEI for engine development. With 10 years of extensive local R&D in materials sciences, Pakistan may be able become a partner in providing some meaningful participation. No engine manufacturer shares secrets of alloy composition.Please report post rather than responding. It causes admin difficulties in determining who should be reprimanded if both parties are mudslinging.
The issue of US engines is one of sanctions which will forever hang on our head . What we should be looking at is progressively move over to minor parts manufacturing to full indigenous engine provision for our fighters. This may need collaboration from like minded countries like Turkey/ Ukraine/ China to name a few.
Hi Bilal
While I don't have any disagreement with your post but buying off the shelf will increasingly become a liability as IAF is finding out after having procured 36 Rafales for 7-8 billions. So to me the better thing is to have a robust economy based on agriculture as well as industrial output and a lot of dual purpose industrial setup which will then give money from the commercial side while it is reinvested in the defence side.

Brilliant! made my day. Big power houses mostly US are now actively killing off competition. So it is alright to produce a fighter for indigenous use because you are still buying from them, but not OK to sell it on for making money except in case of your loved ones (you can fill in the blanks here). Turkey and T129 is a very good example. I would love to see the day when Turkey breaks those shackles but am vary that a lot of harm will be done before they do. My best wishes to my Turk brothers

If you read my post again I have alluded to the same. Not only can Pakistan currently not produce a jet engine, given the economy of scales involved it is probably better to enter into joint ventures to produce an engine to be used in multiple products.There is no chance Pakistan can indegenesly produce a turbofan engine for fighter AC or Turboshaft for fixed rotor AC.

Yes producing top of the line jet engine is indeed right at the pinnacle of engineering. An engine that can enable the jet to have super cruise and has very high thrust to weight ratio is indeed beyond the engineering capabilities of Pakistan and majority of the countries of the world.There is no chance Pakistan can indegenesly produce a turbofan engine for fighter AC or Turboshaft for fixed rotor AC.

You did, Sir. And I commend you. The point I want to make, Pakistan has no such capability because of pathetic state of R&D in universities and engineering institutions.If you read my post again I have alluded to the same.

Yet another YouTube 'expert' with too much time on his hands.
Any body have any info on this?
Listen to it man. He's saying that the block 3 induction is being delayed...Yet another YouTube 'expert' with too much time on his hands.
don't listen the idiots blk-3 was not suppose to be inducted in the year 2020Listen to it man. He's saying that the block 3 induction is being delayed...
I did listen to it he said Block 3 is being made into a stealth aircraft LOLListen to it man. He's saying that the block 3 induction is being delayed...
No, but has the option and provisions for it. E.g, new high performance ECS software modifications to the WMMC and SMC.on another note the JF17B Block II was suppose to be ASEA !?
