December 22/15: Malaysia may consider purchasing Pakistan’s JF-17 aircraft as part of its current fighter replacement program. Malaysian High Commissioner to Pakistan, Dr. Hasrul Sani made the announcement citing the excellent relations both nations currently have in terms of defense cooperation. The sale would also see further increase in the bilateral trade between the two, which...
The above update is a recent abstract from our full article, itself part of our subscription offering. Keep reading to know more.
The FC-1/ JF-17 Thunder is a joint Chinese-Pakistani project that aimed to reduce Pakistan’s dependence on western firms for advanced fighters, by fielding a low-cost multi-role lightweight fighter that can host modern electronics and precision-guided weapons. It isn’t a top-tier competitor, but it represents a clear step up from Pakistan’s Chinese MiG-19/21 derivatives and French Mirage III/V fighters. This positioning addresses a budget-conscious, “good enough” performance market segment that the West once dominated, but has nearly abandoned in recent decades.
Pakistan has fielded JF-17s in squadron strength, with more on order and a Block II R&D program nearing completion. India’s competing Tejas fighter is overcoming project delays by looking to foreign component sources, but Pakistan and China remain out front with their offering, even though they began their project much later than India did.

Sir can u predict abt speed of JF17 block-iii currently given frm 1.6 to 1.8 max. Further do speed play any role in air combat.
source of the news was a Pakistani "news outlet"
source was a Pakistani media outlet "quoting" the high commissioner of Malaysia.Source was their high commissioner in the pakistan..
75 are in service as reported by Dawn news.66 JF17 are potentially in service with the PAF in 4 front line squadrons replacing 2 A5III and 2 F7P squadrons
That seems a more likely estimate, as production of the Block-II's began in March 2014. 16 Block-II's have been built in 2015. At least 10 to 12 Block-IIs must have been built in the remaining months of 2014.75 are in service as reported by Dawn news.
