Any idea which block they would buy?

Exactly my question too.

So, it will be the backbone of the Nigerian airforce ... an excellent achievement.

This indeed is a problem, Pakistan can build an atomic bomb and partially manufacture a fighter jet but our basic manufacturing structure is as strong as a spaghetti in hot water

And onus is upon who? Aren't the civil government's from previous decades responsibly for not investing and heeding towards this vital aspect?

More to the point, why now Pakistan is able to produce ventilators, PPE supplies and now cell phones?

I dont want to turn this thread into a political discussion and derail great achievement shared here, however, the point is that my country and fellow countryman do possess all kinds of skillset and are no less than any other nation or country.

Waiting for confirmation.

What is the current production rate of the aircraft?

Buying JF17 is not only about the fighter jet but having a relationship with one of the best airforces of the world. They can train and learn from PAF and become a force in africa.

Logical Choice , the earlier order was less then expected ,
24-36 fleet force is reasonable

• Azerbaijan Deal (12-20 Unit)
• Malaysia Deal (24-48 Unit)

Would be a great win situation for Pakistan Aerospace

You can add Tajikistan they will likely order 24 unit or around that ball park to begin with.. They are under pressure to buy due to Kyrgyrs border issues

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Good for the buyers , nice to see JF17 has more success vs Al Khalid Tank Sales

I recall at one time people thought , Pakistan will manufacture Agosta Submarines for Middle eastern customers we all know how that turned out

 

[Dual Wielder]

Malaysia Deal (24-48 Unit)

Unfortunately I doubt the Malaysian transaction will come to fruition, as there is quite a bit of friction between them and the Chinese over the sea boundaries, and just recently there was some confrontation..

How so?

 

[colonel rajesh]

What is the current production rate of the aircraft?

depends on how supplies come from china .
