^ I brought it up, because I read somewhere that this was a possibility for the thunder. Probably the cancelled French deal.
As far as technology goes old is gold. ( old doesn't mean it's a bad engine )
Produces 95 kN of thrust with after burners. How it will suit the thunder of course is debatable.
I do agree however that moving away from the west is a good idea. They can stop the flow of spares anytime.
Great discussion.
Lmfao! You think I'm actually suggesting to put old engines in new JF-17s?it can be gold or diamond, but thats not the question, will it be sufficient in numbers ? no it wont . & the most important question is what about the life expectancy of this engines after serving the mirage lll/V for nearly 3 decades how many hours of life expectancy are left there ? the answer is not much & insufficient so think before posting such immature suggestion
a better suggestion would have been if possible we should try our hands on reverse engineering of the mirage engines , expand & setup an engine making plant & fighter jet engine related R&D's at PAC kamra with Chinese assistance
With the present security situation, I do not expect PAF to be forthcoming with details of newest developments. The third squadron is probably functional, but PAF has not announced it as of yet. Notice the drying up of most leads from PAF about any developments.
The best we can do as of now is to base opinions on chatter and an odd sighting or too. PAF is doing its job, which is not to keep us fanboys well-supplied with gossip.
first batch of 50 (51) completed a while ago, most likely October/ November 2012, now concentration is focused on blk 2 first batch induction which is expected by mid - late 2013. Formal induction ceremony is likely to occur in a month or two.
