What's new

Pakistan Navy planning to buy 30 JF-17 Thunder Block-II.

Is that going to be forever...???
.

It survived UPA-II type deadly foreign ruled government.
Now its nationalists!
So it will double.

In 8 days = 4 in Japan and 4 from China, India rcvd 55 billion worth of investment (Thats nearly Pakistans yearly IMPEX)
Where is Pakistan?
Not a single American European Airline visits Islamabad.

Think about how you will survive, don't bother about others!
 
.
Or perhaps the Jf-17s for a Naval Role can be built with more composite material to lower the net-body-weight of the platform ?
I'm not sure if that would be worth the money spent on the new design - airframe modifications and changes in distribution of weight on the airframe would require a lot of flight tests, not to mention a major redesign. At the end of the day, that's not going to increase the range by a lot, although there are benefits of lower radar detectability and better airframe life for composites.

Every one chill, we all know its not 5th generation, newspaper all over the world make mistakes. Nothing new here.

I have doubts over the Jf-17's usefulness for a Naval role ! :unsure:

Maybe @Oscar @Bratva and @fatman17 can shed some more light on this but isn't the Jf-17 a bit under-ranged for a Naval platform ?

Nobody can rule out the usefulness of JF-17 loaded with a pair C-802A (AK or AKG), C803 or with CM400AKG in naval role, the only shortcoming is its RANGE which could be taken care with IFR as pointed by @Oscar in his post.

So in my humble opinion, it's an ideal platform with a shore base 'light weight coastal defence fighter' role, but for me the more important question is the ability of Pakistan Navy to Operate and maintain the Naval Air Defense wing of fighter jets.

Mull it over!!

It is better if you STFU for good on this thread or even on this forum. By the way I have muted most of the trolls from India on this forum. I hope you are not next in line.

what is the budget of PN ?

Is Modi govt going to pay for it? If not then PN's budget shouldn't be your concern.
