Did Pakistan use the JF-17 in real combat situations yet?

Nope.Did Pakistan use the JF-17 in real combat situations yet?
My concern is that, JF-17 doesn't have the bubble canopy like that of F-16s and F-15s. Doesn't it restrict the pilot's view on the back side??

Yes it was used in WOT in FATA areas.
nope, i dont think they used thunders in combat...
it cant carry smart bombs (they are now testing it) and PAF/PA doesn't want any collateral damage
i think only mirages and f-16s are being used.
I know this is off topic. But how come we haven't used our best technology, for instance our Al Khalids?
My guess is that he is Sardar Abdul-rab-Nishter.. or Zulfiqar Badar-udin Ouchkzai. I could be wrong though =)

paf has used jf-17 in fata.f-16s use mostly gen purpose bombs in fata areas.during any operation the area is evacuated completely then air force is called n then army moves in.so the jets can use gpbs.still sometimes there have been civilian casualties as talibans try to hide them among the civilian populationnope, i dont think they used thunders into combat...

well like u said al-khalid is the best tank we have in our inventory, and its quite obvious that army wants to save them for our eastern border...
however al-zarrar, which has become a fairly new tank because of extensive upgrades, has been used in combat in waziristan and other places.
and it proved to be quite effective.
couple of them were attacked by taliban with RPGs, but the tanks were strong enough to keep the crew out of harm..
No its not a problem, the 'bubble canopy' gives extra advantage to the F16 pilot, but has few disadvantages too...dis-orientation is one of them. In the first 15yrs of F16, 58% mishaps and pilot related accidents were because of disorientation....PAF wants to have safe track record of JF17...the present design is just a start, who knows whats coming ahead in 15-20 yrs.
Tht was seen in zuhai airshow aswell........FC-20? anybdy?
Come on people, are you kiding? Instead of J10 he deserve a fighter conversion first.
No PAF pilot has flown J10 yet. Neither there are any plans in near future to send pilots for it.
The J10 batch he is wearing is not official, neither its embroidered on his name...its attached by a sticker, can be removed anytime with no change in shape on his name plate. It was exchanged by August 1 aerobatic team of PLAAF during Zhuhai Air show as a good will gesture...their is nothing serious in it.
Some new JF17 pilots also wears similar JF17 insignia on their coverall, which is un-official too.
Just like other air forces, in PAF patches are alloted to specific pilots/crew members assigned to a specific program...only related people are given these, wearing un-deserved patch is an ethical crime....the exchanged patches are mostly worn by pilots/crew during those events, when they come back to Sqn they remove them.
