JF-17 Dropping Dumb-bombs.

I think bombs were released after releasing empty external fuel tanks.
 
The pilot pressed the Jettison load button hence all load released.
 
The Azerbaijani Air Force has negotiated with Pakistan for the purchase of 26 JF-17, worth between 16 and 18 million dollars each. The Sudanese Air Force is also reported to be negotiating for 12 aircraft. The Zimbabwe Air Force reportedly ordered 12 JF-17 in 2004, but there are no current sources that confirm payment or intent of delivery. Several other countries including Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran and Nigeria have been identified as potential buyers - Wikipedia

Look yar lets not try to run before we can walk, all these potential customers are just potential. First we must fulfil our own needs strengthen PAF, We are already behind in qaulity BVR platform our neighbours are strong in that area and thus its a dangerous gap.

Iran might be intrested as it jets are old, mind you they do have decent mig 29 etc. What Iranians are keen and intrested in is modernising so therefore BVR comes in to play and Iran is shaky times at the moment. There many risks to its security so thunder is the better option. Russians are a big exporter to iran and can provide better then thunders but who is to say russia is not what america was to pakistan.
 
currently it wont be PAC to supply azerbijan with the planes as they are commited to meet the needs of PAF. however if any such deal ever happen the planes are likely to be manufactured in China but even then we may well get our share of money.
well what seems more important in this deal is not the money part but the ability to stand with nations able to export high tech fighter aircrafts!

regards!
 
First JF-17 fighter plane produced in Kamra to roll out this month: CASNovember 7, 2009

BEIJING, Nov 7 (APP): The first state of the art JF-17 Thunder fighter plane produced in Kamra will roll out by the end of this month..INSHALLAH :pakistan::pakistan::china::pakistan::pakistan:
 
2nd fighter is PAF colour scheme JF-17!1!!
 
yesterday was talking to someone posted at Kamra, he told that 17 or so JF-17 would in Pakistan by the year end, and most probably the raising of JF-17 first sqd in Peshawar is delayed to next year, it may be the 2nd fighter sqd to reach peshawar, first gonna stay at Kamra. Plus hopefully by next month the Saab 2000 would be at Kamra too, the first sqd of the AEW&C would be at Kamra most probably.

Plus also had a lot of other discussion too about JF-17, but overall the reviews about JF-17 were very positive, some kind of confidential discussion also did happen, sorry guys but can't disclose that.
