this is exceptionally relevant video as a hard learning in relation to the marketing of the JF-17 which is painfully flawed and has some very criminally insane pitch lines like "cheap", "affordable", 3 JF-17s for a western Jet etc.
people who have come up with such promotional pitch must be lined up and whipped until their behinds turn blue.
when it comes to the buyers of modern jet fighters, the seller has to understand that he should only market and pitch top end quality, high tech design and performance and absolute perfection exceeding expectations.
you never see Swiss watchmakers pitching affordability and cheapness their customers would run away for miles if a luxury item is sold cheap. price shouldn't even have a mention it should be an afterthought.
there is no chance that PAC will have a change of heart. from the pilots flying these jets in the airshows to the civilians at the JF17 counters in exhibitions with marketing material and the air chiefs and program directors start and finish mentioning how cheap and cost effective this jet is. the reasoning is that not every country can afford the western jets so its a cheap alternative. the problem is that it leaves very few countries , you pretty much rule out the entire middle eastern countries and the remaining countries that are left then cant buy more than a squadron and they too are looking for further discounts.[/QUOTE]
Sir you are quite right about words like economical and cheap as they may fit our culture but not proper in international arena. This is example of cultural barrier however on lighter side a K2 cigarette buyer shall always buy a K2 instead of getting an expensive one. Due to limited thinking the so called marketers are targeting only under developed or small countries only like Nigeria, Uzbeks, Sudan perhaps and one to two half hearted attempts to sell perhaps Egypt or few others every one knows. On other side latest perhaps Ukraine rumors are coming.
The team perhaps has people from within PAF though getting Marketing degree as secondary choice yet have brains of grounded fighter pilot or an Aeronautical engineer/Computer genius trying to explore Marketing by job compulsions only.

As per my understanding and knowledge no such system so far inducted in JF17 and many comment that as per roles assigned to JF17 and endurance such system was not required.sir is paf using oxygen generated system instead of oxygen cylinders?
