New Recruit
according to combat aircraft magazaine
venuezela has 12 K-8s and has ordered 24 more to be delivered this year
will pakistan get any money out of it?
the K-8 will replace the T-37 in the basic jet trainer category, so expect more K-8 to be inducted.
PAF has a need for a AJT (advanced jet trainer) and therefore the L-15 could be a choice, even though the chinese have opted to get a different trainer for its airforce (reported elsewhere on the forum already)
2 seat version of JFT has been cancelled. There are no 2 seat version of JFT.Could twin-seat JF-17 be used for both AJT role and fighter conversion, instead of inducting another type, I would imagine JL-15 should be on par with JF-17s interms of cost.
I highly doubt it as Pakistan doesn't manufacture it or has any technology in it other than that they requested China for it.
According to PAF officials at Farnborough, the two-seat variant is still in the pipeline. It may not be used as a fighter-conversion trainer, but it would have a lot of use as specialized variants for strike, ECM/EW, etc.2 seat version of JFT has been cancelled. There are no 2 seat version of JFT.

Apparently the K-8 will be fulfilling that role for some time..
unless the L-15 ends up replacing the FT-5's.
the FT-5s will be replaced very soon say 2-3 years.
Their life ends in 2011.
