PAF eyes induction of JF-17B fighter jet by April 2017

MATEEN HAIDER — UPDATED Apr 28, 2016

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is eyeing formal induction of the newly-launched JF-17B dual seat fighter jet by April 2017, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) announced on Wednesday.

Production of the first JF-17B was initiated by Pakistan and China during a joint ceremony at Chengdu Aerospace Corporation. The jet is set to make its maiden flight by the end of this year, the PAF said.

The dual seat aircraft will enhance training value and operational capability, Air Marshal Muhammad Iqbal said at the ceremony. He also thanked Chinese leadership for their continuous support in the design, development and manufacturing phases of the JF-17 development project.

Chinese leadership paid tribute to PAF authorities for operationalising the aircraft and expressed their resolve to continue support for development work of JF-17 project.

The JF-17 Thunder's operational history

The JF-17 Thunder, a single-engine multi-role fighter jet, and was jointly developed by China and Pakistan. Development on the aircraft started in 1999, and the maiden flight was conducted in 2003.

The initial Block 1 JF-17s were received in 2007, with production of the upgraded Block 2 JF-17s started in 2013. The upgraded models have upgraded avionics, air-to-air refuelling capability, data link, enhanced electronic warfare capability and enhanced load carrying ability.

The JF-17 can be equipped with air-to-air and air-to-ground ordinance. The aircraft mounts both short-range infra-red air to air missiles along with longer ranged radar-guided BVR missiles, an essential capability for a frontline interceptor.

The aircraft can carry 8,000lbs of ordinance on seven external hardpoints, which is an adequate amount of ordinance for any mission profile. The JF-17 enhances the much needed capability of the air force in beyond visual range (BVR) engagements.

The JF-17 is a capable platform, and is on its way to form the backbone of the PAF. It was reported that between 250 and 300 aircraft will be inducted into the air force in order to phase out the ageing fleet of some other aircraft models that are still in operation.

For the Pakistan Air Force, the JF-17 fills the gap that had arisen due to an ageing inventory, which was further impacted by sanctions placed on the country following the nuclear tests in 1998.

Since last 1-2 weeks, lot of JF-17 activity, day & night at Peshawar Base. During night even with clouds and no moon light, the JF-17s are doing round the clock flights. Didn't even saw such activity during highmark exercise. Yesterday @10PM saw 2 of them taking off and with afterburners they looked majestic.

Are you close enough to get pics of serial nunbers ?

Sir ji, tried it once and the sentry started to shout and whistle. If hadn't stopped next step would have been a bullet for me.

hahahahahhaaahaha.

But as far I know, Peshawar has the operational sqds and a testing ground too after Kamra as Chinese staff is here also to assist us. So the new Sqd will be raised at Kamra. But from what i have seen all JF-17s are marked with Spider & Panther Sqd insignias. Serial number keep changing but not insignias. And yes the total green one is here too, once in a while see it fly also. I believe that was the 111.

As told above, don't want to get shot.

But i have seen a couple of weeks back a JF-17 starting with the 16-2XX serial number fly followed by the 15-XXX. So both Block variants are still here, or may be the 15-XXX ones are getting upgraded too. As i was told that we are not only making the newer 2nd Blocks but simultaneously upgrading the older ones also. So by the time we are completed with production of 2nd Block, majority of the 1st block would already be upgraded to the new configuration.

After deciding to purchase 16 JF-17 Thunder multi-role combat aircraft in 2015, Myanmar is now in advanced negotiations with Pakistan to licence-build the third-generation fighter, defence industry sources in Yangon and sources close to the Myanmar Air Force (MAF) told Jane's in mid-January.

If an agreement is reached, Myanmar's bid to manufacture the single-engine combat aircraft - co-developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and China's Chengdu Aerospace Corporation (CAC) - could mark a significant step forward in the country's efforts to expand its local defence industry.

As the MAF phases out its obsolete fleet of F-7M Airguard and A-5C 'Fantan' combat aircraft purchased from China in the 1990s, licensed production of the JF-17 Thunder would also mean that the aircraft will likely become the MAF's workhorse over the coming decades in much the same way as it has moved to prominence within the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).

At least 70 of the fighters are in service with the PAF, with the first ones having entered service in 2009. Expectations are that the PAF will induct up to 150 JF-17 Thunder fighters in the coming years.

The first of 16 imported JF-17s ordered by Myanmar are expected to go into service with the MAF later this year. Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources told Jane'sthat these aircraft will be of the Block II variant, which was first rolled out from the PAC's Kamra plant in 2015 and which, unlike the Block I variant, features an air-to-air refuelling capability and improved avionics and electronics.

It is unclear whether later deliveries to the MAF will include the far more advanced Block III variant being produced at Kamra since last year. Sources told Jane's that in the context of ongoing negotiations on licensed production, Myanmar is seeking to produce the aircraft's Block III variant.

Sir(s), any comments w.r.t. highlighted parts.

License production in Myanmar: Reportedly in advance negotiations with Pakistan.
Myanmar possible delivery= JF-17 Block-II (as per Myanmar requirements as reported during Zhuhai Airshow China 2016).
JF-17 Block-III= Being produced in Kamra since last year.
