What will be the estimated price of the FC1 with an AESA radar?
-thanks
Not much of a difference if its a Chinese one, if a western one, then may be.
But with just radar change to AESA, i don't there would be a very drastic change in the price tag.
I believe at the most a few thousand dollars it will add to the cost, not millions.
But it depends on the cost of the tech to produce the T/R modules used in the AESA radar. If the manufacturer produces the T/R modules at lesser the cost, the selling price of the AESA radar would be low. As more and more of these AESA radars are produced, the cost would continue to be reduced.
Sir, TaimiKhan
Can you share here a picture of nose difference between JFT-17 & JFT-17 Block-II ?
base price of FC-1 with 100% chinese radar, avionics, weapons is US$10-12m
base price of JFT-block-1 is US$ 15m. block-2 could cost as much as US$20m. still very cheap by western standards. if the french had allowed the avionics and missile package, the JFT-block-1 would have cost US$20m per copy.
I do not know the details of once proposed french avionics and missile package to JFT.
Current French operating weapon system is MICA for A2A.
Guessing the weapon system is MBDA MICA for JFT, both IR as well as BVR variant.
Under Mirage-5000 up gradation deal, France is charging 800 Million USD for 52 air craft weapons. Means USD 15 million per air craft. I do not think they were offering the same @5 million to JFT, not to mention the French radar
JF-17 blk-II version will also equipped with mid air refueling pods?
the other pic of V-head JFT PT in yanliang was taken by mr.G(goneless) in cdf
new JFT PT's vertical stabilizer was redesigned tooHoushanghai don't know why but this vertical stabilizer doesn't seems to be a JFT one, there is a clear difference in the vertical stabilizer of this aircraft shown in the pic and that of JFT
new JFT PT's vertical stabilizer was redesigned too
this new JFT PT's vertical stabilizer look like Eurofighter's by the rumor.
there have a hole in the vertical stabilizer like Eurofighter's
