JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[aziqbal]

But if it was indeed an "old" report from September, isn't it then highly likely that Ruby 1 & 3 are already finished ??

How long does PAC in general needs to manufacture one JF-17 ?

Deino

The R units were at the structural buildup shop

The 32nd Block II was more advanced than the Ruby units it was getting its front fuselage joined with the Middle and rear fuselage

After this workshop they moved to final assembly

Then to flight testing

The Ruby units by now therefore must be either at final assembly or flight testing

I would guess we see them soon

Any more details on the crash it was from no 16 squadron using Block I?

Which serial ??

10-127 crashed in 2011 about 5 years ago

A rare unmarked JF-17, it's said to be under test after being upgraded to Block-2 standard before being delivered to a unit.

AWAIS LALI, a fellow artists, aviation spotter & a good friend, normally removes most of the serial no.s and Sqn. markings from his pictures as per the request from PAF, to keep these things secret.
Nothing special here !

I may have overstated for other jets but in case of JF-17, yes !
Most of his recent JF-17 snaps don't have Sqn. markings.

Dude, compare the images you have posted and the subject one, it doesn't even carry a serial number and i find this rather odd that while all other images appear in full markings, only your friend is required to keep the secrecy.
Usually such policies are carried across the board.... Israelis being a prime example.

lol easy dude .... He photo-shops serial nos. before posting his fighter jet spotting, unless appeared in public display .. end of story.
You can verify the news you claimed over this particular picture of JFT, by just inboxing the photographer or commenting on this picture on FB and then show us his reply.
Whats the big deal !

[Cool_Soldier]

good work PAF, we must appreciate it.

any idea when they will be delivered to Myanmar .....?

 

[khanasifm]

I am assuming most of European eqpt like electronic warfare and other stuff may be different for Nigerian and other customer , i.e they may want to go with Chinese version or what ever they prefer like k8 case paf and Egypt has US engine while rest all use chinese / Ukrainian.

don't know exact time but it won't be too late ... They will go through final quality control and testing before handing over to myanmar

sad to see us selling arms only to countries where Muslims are being exterminated (like pests) or where Muslims are fighting each other.

blood money never bodes well for anybody.
