Myanmar receives Thunders !

. . .
I think the Myanmar deal was PAC would build the airframes for them, while China would install an ejection seat, radar, the munitions for it etc.
whether a Pakistani export or Chinese export, this looks like the JF-17 Block II/III may have a very vital chance in the export arena in the upcoming years.
from what I heard in media is Myanmar wanted PAC/CAC to allow them to get license production in the country, however can someone please confirm... it would be much appreciated.

JF-17Ms delivered to Myanmar

In October 2018, it was reported that already six JF-17M fighter aircraft were delivered to the Myanmar Defence Force. The aircraft are based at Pathein Air Base. This airbase is part of the Western SOC (Sector Operations Center) with its HQ at Sittwe Air Base.

Early November 2016 it was confirmed that the purchase of the JF-17 was approved. Rumours on this purchase appeared for the first time in February 2016, where press reports suggested that Myanmar was the mystery launch customer for the AVIC/PAC JF-17 Thunder. Then it became silent for many months. According to the Pakistan TV Channel Dunya News, Myanmar will acquire sixteen aircraft, but the total figure could exceed two dozen.

Myanmar is the first country to buy the JF-17 Thunder, jointly manufactured by Pakistan and China.
The first two JF-17Ms were noted at the CAC factory airfield in Chengdu (China) on 12 June 2017. In October 2018, a photo appeared from the fourth JF-17M.

BD can't move an inch without the approval of India!!!! And, India keeps BD militarily as weak as possible!!!! Hence, they have an AF with mainly a/c for aerobatics only.....

It's the poetic justice for BD.....

A country needs a military when its sovereignty is impinged on. Since India does not, BD has no need for a military.

We are trolling Pakistanis and their UMMAH ambitions, not Myanmar.

Correct, I suggest you find a better hobby and do something better with your life .. trolling and hating on others wont get you and your dumb indian troll buddies anywhere. You pathetic country couldn't ever stop our ambitions before now nor in the near future.

Ok, guys no need to get heated here.
Let JF-17 have it's first export sale to Barmans.
It does not affect BD one bit as BAF is planning for higher performance fighters - remember the Mig-35 has already been rejected on performance grounds.

Previous news said the JF-17s were sold by China...
In which ways are Pakistan involved?

PAF themselves received 8(2+6) FC-1 at start from China, MAF is going same way. Its all linked to Belt and road initiative, they may also get a production like PAC. Full aircraft was build by CAC just like FC-1B.
