JF-17 breaks cover at Myanmar air force party to mark 71st anniversary

• 17 December, 2018 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: Greg Waldron Singapore

The Chengdu/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 Thunder has appeared at a celebration to mark the 71st anniversary of Myanmar’s air force.

Images and video of the 15 December event on social media show four JF-17s are visible on static display in Myanmar’s distinctive blue camouflage scheme. One image shows a Myanmar officer inspecting a JF-17 cockpit, with a special ‘71’ logo visible on the jet’s fuselage.

Despite persistent rumors about a Myanmar sale for the single-engined type, and the appearance of a JF-17 in the Myanmar camouflage scheme last year, officials from Pakistan and China have not officially announced the deal.

On 16 December, China’s official news agency, Xinhua, reported that the Myanmar Air Force has inaugurated seven new types of aircraft and helicopters to mark its 71st anniversary.

Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that Myanmar has six in service JF-17s. Other additions in the last few years are 10 Yakovlev Yak-130 advanced jet trainers, a single Shaanxi Y-8, 20 Grob G120TPs, three Soko G-4s, 12 Hongdu K-8s, and 31 UAC MiG-29s.

We need to reach the “100% inhouse airframe manufacturing” quickly. 68% is too low for a jet that we own and claim to be OURS.

Baat aap ki 100 % sai hy. Par Maang to sakty us khuda se wo unchaaeya jo dosro ko naseeb hy. Bahar-haal, hidayat b unko milti hy jo isky talabgaar hoty hy. If we “desire” to reach 100% then i am sure kay Allah hamy mayoos ni kary ga. bs mehnat ki zaroort hy. Aaj Allah ne is muqaam par pohnchaya ab dua thory barry target ki karni hy.
