Aa I said... These projects exist in files... Not even on drawing board.. And even if Sweden or Turkey (Which has invested in F-35) start today it will take like 15 years or more to be inducted or to enter production...
Good luck although I doubt the 2023 timeline ... Looking at countries like China,Russua and US struggling with their fighters...That's the selected concept of TF-X. First flight is planned at 100. anniversary of Turkish Republic in 2023 If schedule proceeds as planned.
it will simply augment the already T-37 and K-8 fleet. K-8 willl probably replace all other types over time.
sorry, i meant to say t-37.Good luck although I doubt the 2023 timeline ... Looking at countries like China,Russua and US struggling with their fighters...
P.S; Is TFX a 4.5th gen or 5th generation .... It's design concept seems pretty conventional... Also has the work actually started? Which radar,engine etc would it use?
PAF wants LIFT... K-8 doesn't quiet fit the bill ... No wonder PAF has been looking at L-15 in the past and now Yak-130...
P.S; the T-38 deal sounds nonsense... As Turk members pointed out they themselves need these jets...
JF-17s twin seat variant is also under development so it seems quiet unlikely ... Apart from the fact that urdu press or "The Nation" arent worth shit.
So our K-8 is obsolete..?
Great news, if a little funny. Pakistan is a country with a great philanthropist society because it is in itself a subject of philanthropy.
That being said, I dont foresee any give or take here.. if this was an GCC Arab transaction I would be fretting what we just gave away that is not in the news.
These aircraft (T-37) are being retired from TuAF....i wonder how much life they have left?
These should have a few thousand hours left. These are trainers so a LOT can be refurbished and reused. There are thirty four of them, so you could cannibalize some of them over time and use the remainder of the fleet.
I'd imagine these will serve you for the next next 10-12 years. Even if you produced 1000 pilots out of these, its excellent return. These are gifts, or cost little, if I remember correctly !!!!
.we need supersonic jet trainers beyond this level.....
some1's pocket is empty, in fact there is a hole in the pocket.
so whatever they get donated they take it happily.
