alert! Kid FoundOkey....pakistani member says saudi are eyeing for JF 17...but why..they can buy much superior jets from west..which will be much more advance and reliable,...
so, what's in there for saudis in Jf 17....
They are also eyeing the creation of an air wing for the Saudi Arabian National Guard. Which will focus on defensive operations and provide a second tier to their primary forces. However, they do seem to have little need for more aircraft if the additional 72 typhoons go ahead. That will give them some 230 odd F-15s and 144 Typhoons.. Those assets seem enough to offer credible defence for critical Saudi areas unless further urban and industrial expansion is undertaken.
But hard to believeWe always have backup plans
Every fcking country in this world talks about jobs when it comes to defence stuff except india...Pakistan will benefit with much needed funds for further development of Thunder, plus Jobs, & experience.
@Aeronaut they might end up having the most advance JF-17 variant till now, because they can afford advance tech from west which Pakistan was not able to get due to several reasons, if you remember Pakistan initially wanted French avionics and engine for JF-17, there were also news of Vixen AESA offered for JF-17 which was not entertained mostly due to non available of funds and JF-17 is designed to accomodate western systems so it will not be a huge problem if KSA funds can get TOT of some important tech like radar and engine.
Dear all members,
All above is watching dreams only. Saudia will never buy or participate in this project. Please live in reality. They will always buy US, European made weapon.
Let me tell you a true story," I asked Dr. AbdulQadeer Khan when he always use to come and stay in IHG Jeddah. sir, you are coming after every 2 months and you are getting royal protocol did you ever give them ideas to do something big? he said well, i can only say that once i told the Crown Prince that why you should make car factories here. Ask any Car company they will agree to built plant here, assemble the cars here you will have jobs plus the cars will be low prices. He replied leave it Dr. our people will not buy these cars. so dear members, they will not buy your machines except any food items. hahahah
This is the fact and truth.
Salex Galileo already operates in Saudi Arabia.
Request Rejected
If they can fit in this radar, it will transform the jet altogether.
Vixen-1000E - AESA Radar
Not to forget that the JF-17s they will get won't be the ordinary pieces. They will be pimped up, especially for their needs.
I am awed, they have about 300 F-15 and Eurofighters, in service and on order. And yet they want more! They don't even have any concrete threat from any enemy, yet...
Saudi Arabia keen to buy JF-17 Thunder fighter from Pakistan
NEW YORK: Saudi Arabia has shown interest in buying JF-17 Thunder jet fighter aircraft manufactured under Pakistan-China cooperation.
Citing a report published in US journal, Geo News reported that Saudi defence ministry and Saudi Air Force are keenly examining the JF-17 Thunder program and mulling over their participation in it.
The report claimed that Pakistan has offered Saudi Arabia for joint manufacturing of JF-17 Thunder aircraft along with technology transfer. This offer was made to the Saudi Arabia Deputy Defence Minister, Salman bin Sultan during his visit to Pakistan last week.

Get ready to be more awed dude..
Saudi reserves in dollars and gold = ~ $800 billion+
Remember, these are just "reserves"...
For a nation of just 30 million people, this is crazy.
Saudis have wealth to spend..they'll spend it...
