How long is the loiter time?

It is, air to surface, precision guided bomb and fits the role of close airsupport.

I hope tht the announced block 2 of thunders will bring in the desired role frame into action but as we speak still thunders far more better thn of PGs we hve & for ground support missions still we, hve enough of mirages & F7pgz the upgraded ones?
Problem is that our air hero,s doesnt like to even think of twin engins concept for PAF, they always like to follow a dam old frame of mind which is bassed on single engine theory in air!
Well I think times has changed & we need a dedicated type of fighter\bomber plateform , which can become a deciding factor in any situation?
If our militry leadership change its mindset , we can hve a nice balance of different forms of plateforms for different situations?
I hope we can get around 30 more new block 2 thunders by the end of 2013, it will bring us an oppourtunity to rethink our future airpower .
If we can induct 120 thunders by the end of 2014 & can get some J-10bz it, can put our eyes on maturing J-16z or J-11bs as a Fighter\bomber role model for PAF?
With advancment they can find good grouping along with thunders to provide full scale securty to our skies!
But it all depends on how the block 2 thunder evolute itself.

Cut the A-10 discussion, This is JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter Thread!

Cant say about A-10..But V-22 manufacturer’s rep was at farnborough and i asked him why the plane isnt in use anywhere else except USA...
He said there is no restriction from Government..its just that they haven’t been able to market it properly and couldn’t find a buyer yet..
Same can be said about A-10???...Countries prefer attack helicopter instead..

Even people live in Okinawa protest USA deploying V22 there, cause it has notorious flying safety record around the world.

CHANGE THE ENGINE, USE LOT MORE COMPOSITES INCREASE PAYLOAD AND RANGE GET A BETTER RADAR........... PLZ BLOCK2 SHOULD HAVE ALL THESE CHANGES EVEN IF UNIT COST INCREASES TO 30 MILLION A PIECE.... I SIMPLY DONT GET IT WHATS THE FUN OF HAVING JF17 IN ITS CURRENT FORM NAME ANY OTHER JET IN ITS CLASS AND U CAN SEE THAT WILL OUTPERFORM IT (IN MANY AREAS) WE REALLY SHOULD HAVE WORKED MORE ON IT..... GOD IT SO DEPRESSING WHEN I SEE THE BEST WE HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY THESE ARE THE CURSE F16S......

Of course.

How can the JF-17 be adapted to serve the CAS role better, given that such a role probably would serve an important task?

JF-17 flight simulator was open for civilians during the 2010 Zhuhai Airshow. Otherwise, strictly no, it's for pilot training ONLY.

Just buy yourself a PC game and a joystick.

Why are we even contemplating this? Even if PAF buys them, what are we gonna do with them? It takes finances to arm and fuel those beasts.
