there aint any - suggest we close this
Our problem is both with "KASH" & "CASH". It is best to focus on our problems for now. We can solve other peoples' problems once we are done with ours. Plus, we can not help those who do not want our help and have not time to think for us. Concept for Ummah is good, and I am with you on this. But we can not help others if they are unable to reform themselves. Arabs have effectively killed Pan-Islamism.
Operationally, JF-17 is not some super-duper weapon system that can solve all problems of the Muslim / Arab world. Nor can it be supported by wishes alone. It needs resources and commitment on ground. Who will maintain it, once it has flown to Syria? Who will foot the bill? Who will manage the supply chain? When Arabs can not maintain their own old weapon systems, how will they maintain our newer ones? Assuming that JF-17 goes against Israelis, how we shall protect it against superior systems that Israelis field currently?
If you wake up from your flight of fancy, you may notice that:
1. More Arabs are dying of repression at the hands of fellow-Arabs.
2. Arabs generally can only talk about Palestinians. They actually do not care.
3. Arabs do not care about what Pakistanis have to say. For them we are irrelevant. How can we solve their problems for them?
4. Ummah feelings ought to be applied to our own home first. Case in point: baluchistan.
5. While we have Mullahs and Nationalists braying against democracy and institutionalism all across the Muslim world, what hope is there for development and future? How can you solve problems when you have no frame-work for addressing them to begin with?
Your "KASH" is a delusion that people use to ignore own problems. It is just an escape fantasy and it feeds a mind-set that is divorced from reality. Such people are liable to pine for a Salahuddin without realizing that there is no alternative to cultivating forebearance and ethic of hard work. Do you know the importance of sweat and how it saves blood?
It seems that unless enough staff and pilots are trained we wouldnt see the third squardon raised
You are right of what happen in the Middle East crisis, so are you suggesting, we should cancel JF-17 project to focus the problems on our people's mentality or lack of education?
but weren't the first two squadrons raised without it? Oscar said that second squadron is still not fully combat ready

can anyone please tell me what is going on with the third squadron. from about march we have been hearing that either third squadron has been in secret or about 47 or 48 JF17s are produced and third squadron will be raised anytime. No news till now. What actually is going on with it?
Unfortunatley, the intellectual level of Pakistani minister being interviewed is well known.

Pakistani JF-17 to start mid-air refuelling by end of summer - IHS Jane's 360The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has successfully completed ground tests on mid-air refuelling probes fitted to its Chengdu Aerospace Corporation/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft and expects to carry out the first mid-air refuelling by the end of the summer, the service's chief has told IHS Jane's .
Air Chief Marshall Tahir Rafique Butt said in a 6 June interview at the PAF's headquarters in Islamabad that the addition of the refuelling capability to the JF-17 will improve prospects for international sales of the aircraft, which is jointly produced by China and Pakistan. "The ground tests have been very successful.
the 3rd sqn is slated to replace a mirage sqn at PAF masroor. the infrastructure (ground facilities) are being updated to service the JFT. the question is will the JFT sqn be a air superiority or a maritime strike sqn.
