Saudi Arabia expresses interest in JF-17 co-production with Pakistan.

[Zarvan]

Of course its a big YES.

By the way why all of a sudden your entire focus is on Pakistan and visiting Pakistan

 

[Gentelman]

What does that agreement say about third party sales?

Its just buy…
Russians just have to provide there is not anything mentioned that they can meddle or block sales.
They tried to block for Pakistan in past but that agreement did not let em.
Pakistan also negotiated for local overhaul facility of RD-93 at Kamra but don't know how things went.

Coz they have agreement with china CACTIC i guess so Pakistan is too a third party for Ruskies.

KSA is getting several times better EFT why should they even bother with a thirld world JFT ? .. they just wanted to check how far lagging is PAF . PERiOD !

Show them the arrows which perform like missiles .. and people going round the moon and coming back ...
Rather just hand over the great religious books of knowledge ..

BC .... Issue between PAkistan and Saudi ARabia ... and the Hindu-stani menstrual cycle goes of the sync.

Pagan !

Source? I highly doubt it, Turning a regular fighter into a stealth fighter takes to much time and money, it's not worth it. You'd be better off just building a new one from the ground up.

Saudi eyeing Pakistan’s JF-17 fighter jet, modeled from U.S. F-16
Special to WorldTribune.com

ABU DHABI — Saudi Arabia has been examining the prospect of becoming a partner in Pakistan’s fighter jet program.

Officials said the Saudi Defense Ministry has been reviewing Pakistan’s JF-17 fighter jet program.

The officials said representatives of the ministry as well as the Royal Saudi Air Force were examining the feasibility of procuring JF-17 as part of cooperation with Islamabad.

“This project could provide the kingdom with technology that could be used in future projects,” an official said.

On Jan. 20, Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Salman Bin Sultan visited Pakistan and toured the JF-17 project, modeled after the U.S.-origin F-16 and which entered production in late 2013. Salman, hosted by Pakistani Chief of Staff Gen. Raheel Sharif, was said to have focused on enhanced defense cooperation, including training and an exchange of expertise.

“During the meeting, matters of mutual interest, regional security and
enhanced bilateral defense collaboration including training exchange program
were discussed,” an official statement said.

Pakistan has been deemed the leading strategic ally of Saudi Arabia.
Western diplomats said Pakistan, with assistance from China, has provided
ballistic missiles and non-conventional weapons expertise to the Gulf
Cooperation Council kingdom.

Officials said Pakistan has offered to supply the Saudi military with
aircraft, main battle tanks and submarines. They said the offer included
technology transfer as well as co-production in Saudi Arabia.

“The expectation is that Saudi purchases from Pakistan will increase
over the coming year,” the official said.

YUPS .. Partnership is right.

That is what we should get into; lets join hands and help ourselves by helping each other.

Make a team; 50 + 50 engineers, and let the young people come up with a surprise !

Roger that. 4 squadron of JF-17s to go for the Saudis

 

[IceCold]

A sale to SaudiArabia will be a big boost to JF-17 program. Imagine the possibility with other middle east countries following suite.

Wrong .. the point I want to make is;
Want the planes .. come and make them with us for your self.
You will learn some thing, we will learn some thing.

 

[Secur]

@Yzd Khalifa I hope that the news is true since it will be a massive boost to our JF 17 programme and pave the way for further modifications and modernization in the aircraft . But tell me , what exact role would the RSAF be eyeing for a light multi role fighter . It appears somehow that you are trying to start an aeronautical industry in the country .

 

[IND151]

Surprising, given that Saudi has many other options.

 

[Secur]

Want the planes .. come and make them with us for your self.

If they actually want to purchase it , they will be co-producing it , in their country , because I do not think that either Kamra or Chengdu can deal with such large workloads , at the moment , fulfilling the demands of both countries without of course enhancing their present production facilities .

 

[think@best]

it will be very surprising, if happened ............ and a real boast for JFT programme.

True. That's what I was implying.
