Dear if we equip thunder with double barrel shotguns at all its seven points and market it as ultimate houbara bustard hunt machine package for Arabs along with of 2 years of free hunt. I bet people like you wouldn't agree with its sales potential or capabilities of the aircraft in that configuration/role either
Probably the reason why Gripen is doing so poorly, eh?

To stay on topic, whatever happened to the potential sale to Burma for the JF-17?
.........
2. The news about Burma was based on a questionable source. We shall see in the future.
Neither of us are, it seems. I do not take export stories seriously any more. We keep telling everyone how Block III is going to have this or that. Why would anyone consider Block I or II? So, export will happen - just probably not now.Most claims about export deals regarding the JF-17 are tenuous. As you say, we shall see, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

It depends on so many factors what will be in. But also we need to see what will be developed in the next few years for fc20/J30/J31 and if these products can me made smaller to fit in JF17. What we will see is laser weapon next to chaff flare to confuse missiles. As you know many AAM have laser proximity fuses... I do not think I have to explain more. We will hopefully see this for J20 and hopefully for our block3. I cannot tell much about what will be exactly in it. I have no clue. No one will share that info. Not now. Not even till 2017. But we can be sure that new weapons will be added. New avionics will be installed. That is the whole idea of building a newer block every 3-5 years.

Agreed.
Once Blocks 1 and 2 are fully integrated and have proven themselves in service, any future Blocks with updates would stand a much better chance at export success. While that would be desirable, the JF-17 program does not depend on exports for success. It is already serving PAF admirably and will do so for a long time to come, exports or no exports. I would hazard a guess that this plane will never have CFTs or a diamond "stealth" front section or extensive major structural composites, but its avionics and armament suite would certainly be competitive well into the future. Later versions might have a better engine, or they may not, that I would not be able to guess. (Of course, its competitors will also improve by then.)
Overall, some export success will be likely at some point in the future, but not assured by any means.
has anyone spoken to an PAF pilots who've flown the JF-17 how have they said it compares to other fighter jets like the F-16 etc.
i Know that the JF-17 is still early in its life, and hopefully later models will fill the gap but wasn't the whole purpose of the project to give PAF a BVR platform which its currently lacking in the F-16s?? won't this make a major change in the concept of how the PAF operates, they seem to be stuck in WVR engagements and have not trained in the BVR arena?Yes, that has been published many times. The pilots think the interface is just as easy to manage and the plane works very well with every command issued. In fact some thought JFT was easier to handle than the -16. I don't know if I agree to it but then I've never flown a JFT. But I do know, technologically, the -16 is more advanced. JFT does give similar capabilities to the PAF but it's still considered a lower tech fighter with some nice, higher tech avionics and weapons.
