I hope Pakistan can take this pressure. UK has given refuge, in fact citizenship to Pakistan leaders who openly offer their services to their foreign intel service against ISI, who run extortion and target killing networks in the financial capital of the country and whose political cadre at city level have been found to be working for British intel.

I dont want to politicize this thread, but you know what I mean and who I mean.



16 is quite a good number for a year. Dassault produces 11 Rafale every year. I m not saying French cant ramp up production but just a comparison.

France could produce a lot more aircraft a year. the numbers are low to keep the production line running as long as they can

Pakistan and China develop two-seat JF-17 Thunder fighter

To introduce the FC-1 Xiaolong multirole fighter, also known as the JF-17 Thunder, to the overseas market, China and Pakistan are going to display a two-seater version of the aircraft during the Paris Air Show held from June 15-21 this year, reports the Moscow-based Military Parade.

Known as the FC-1B or JF-17B, this two-seater fighter is likely to be equipped with the French-built M88-2 engine. It is currently equipped with the Rafale twin-engine fighter designed by Dassault for the French Air Force.

With this new engine, the range of the Xiaolong can be extended from 800 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers, according to the report. A refueling probe will be installed on the FC-1B or JF-17B as well for aerial refueling according to an unofficial source. Other defense analysts have queried whether the M88-2 can be fitted to a two-seater Xiaolong.

Yes some changes will have to be made in air frame to accommodate 2nd pilot / WSO / Navigator etc.
