ACM Sohail Aman has been pragmatic. Earlier on in the year ACM Aman mentioned that JF-17B would be used as a LIFT platform in the PAF - i.e. transition rookies for fighter flying. In this sense, the JF-17B serves two valuable roles for the PAF: First, it enables it to prepare pilots for fighter flying along modern lines in an affordable manner, and second, we'd have new pilots ready to join JF-17 squadrons without any lead time.LOL. What happened to all those statements PAF doesnt want two seter JF-17 ? This news is equivalent to PAF forced to ate humble pie.
There is another aspect which the PAF hasn't overtly discussed yet, but that is using the second seat for a WSO who can guide LGBs and laser-guided AGMs in ground-attack missions.
