JF-17 Thunder Multirole Fighter [Thread 7]

[fatman17]

@wiseone2 was hoping someone will post a list of all ongoing deals for JF-17. Fortunately, no one around here has that kind of information. It'll be like digging for gold in an oil well

Deals
16 ac Myanmar $500m. Additional order under process.
3 ac Nigeria. Follow on order 7 ac in 2018 budget.
Azerbaijan, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka interested in JFT. not a bad start for a new supplier.

Mushshak started the same way and now the order book has reached 144+ and continuing.

Per info 560 million and follow on order being negotiated AFM August 2017

Nigeria 2018 budget is out?? They have a sqn of f7s and another alpha jet for ground attack but number of Ac available may be few so 10-20 in the long run. Till jf in Nigerian color is seen flying its all hoo haA

Rest who knows Ac procurement is lengthy and expensive process

When it shows up on the country's budget and then is confirmed by their Air Chief, it's anything but 'hoo haa'.

Well done, Congratulations on the sucess of jf 17, it looks pretty neat in configurations. For export i still belive money rather than technology will be the factor in coming years for jf 17 as it packs quite a punch at slightly higher cost than that of an advance trainer.
I also saw some movements wd tejas wd twin seator variant already out and ifr integrated. Hopefully in 2-3 years world can really compair tejas anf jf 17 in terms of operational effectiveness as well. As of now apart from technology only thing i see missing in tejas is combat ready squadrn.

Per paf history 1999-2013 total goal for jf program when it started in 1990s was 150 to be ordered by paf and 100 by plaaf total 250 due to delays a decade was lost (western avionics requirement by paf and non availability ) when program wss started in early 2000 paf went ahead and plaaf ?? But paf knew actual requirement was 200 plus as a5s, f7s and some mirages so now Catac/pac focused on foreign sales plus paf getting 200 - 250 , I think it safe to assume they will sell app 100 plus to foreign buyers plus

This is my guess plaaf also have to replace a large no of f7s, f8s and a5s so who know like k8p they may orde r some later when ws-13 is available

 

[his5850]

if there is 200 or 250 planes to be replaced i think there would JF-17 block 4 and block-5 that make more sense it would be a bigger variant of JF-17 like gripen NG and in 10 year 5th generation planes are coming in the PAF
