Thanks, fatman.
Interesting. Does this mean Pakistan currently plans to produce only 42 of the 250 JF-17s? or does this mean that initially we will produce 42 JF-17s, and then we will produce more until we have 250 overall? How many JF-17s does Pakistan intend to buy from China and how many are we planning to produce at home in the end?
Also, I have only read of a "JF-17 Block II" or "highly upgraded JF-17" after the first 50 on this forum. Has this already been planned or is this just a hypothesis?
Clarifications will be extremely appreciated.
Pakistani defence ministry officials said the first of the 42 JF-17s to be produced in Pakistan would be manufactured and airworthy before the end of 2009.
The PAF intends the JF-17 to become the main backbone of its fleet and it plans to acquire up to 250 of the aircraft by 2013-2015.
