What's new

Karakorum - 8 (K-8) | Jet Trainer Aircraft.

Apparently the K-8 will be fulfilling that role for some time..
unless the L-15 ends up replacing the FT-5's.

it will be the JL-9 trainer.

at US$20m/aircraft - too expensive.
 
why don't Pakistan join JL-9 or L-15. I believe they are more capable than K-8 and can be used as attack aircraft in war time crisis. It can also train pilots for coming soon J-10, F-16 high-tech aircraft.
