Even people are now saying that there are clear signs that Saudi Arabia might release the real and original country of Hijazz where Makkah and Madina are present. And they will rule Najd as KSASaudi Arabia keen to buy JF-17s, then I guess the stories are really true the oil is really drying up
true, i agree with you the jf17 is perfect. it's a light multirole fighter also the dual seat version can possibly be used for a lift program so yeah, win win but they will use ej200 engines instead of rd-93
if you look at the rd 93 engine 79 kn dry and 98 wet and the ej200 which is 60kn dry and 90kn wet . it makes sense to choose the rd93 as its more powerful as it is. but ksa already operates the ej200 on the eft. and the rd93 does not have a complete combustion hence the smoke trail to find on the rd93 engine .also the ej200 is already being upgraded to 78kn dry and 120 wet and thats very powerful. even more powerful than the ws-13.What difference ej200 engines will bring to JF-17s performance?? Do ej200 need to be modified for use in a single engine plane??
If KSA went for JF-17s and with western equipments like Vixen-1000E/Raven AESA Radar and advance more reliable western engine then JF-17 will become very potent 4++ gen jet.

china is know for making it export products in a modular aspect this means customers can choose what they want on their desired jet. and if an aesa radar can fit, then yes you can have it on the jf17. but block 3 jf17 are already having aesa radars so it make sense to buy them. and the ej200 engine being able to fit on the jet read the link below.
JF-17 Presses On After News of Egypt's Plans
the vixen 100e radar is a good radar and is something potential middle eastern clients may want along with avionics. but then this significantly increases the price of the jet and does not justify paying for it as they can purchase a block52+ f16. the jf 17 was intended for clients to replace the j-7 and those who would want a cheap multi role fighter.Vixen 1000E was offered for JF-17 that is why I think ME clients can go for western avionics and as you mentioned ej200 engine can be a possibility too, so a good light 4++ gen jet for them to be used as work horse.
If it is sold to some ME country which want western systems, will it be possible for manufacturers of ef-200 to upgrade the engine output specifically for single engine jet??
New Recruit
Why anyone replace eurofighter only 2 years old yaar plz make some sense at once yes may be for Tornado which RSAF has it 2 decades ago its sgeing to endJF-17 is the best replacement for their Fighter Jet F-5. Euro Fighter is way to advanced and expensive and also KSA can get JF-17 with complete TOT, which in the end would give big boost and also experience to Saudi Defence industry.
What has happened in my country is a catastrophy where it has become the playground of international vested interests. But this is besides the point. I will accept the mistakes Pakistan has made during the last 40 yrs willingly because I am not the one to usurp others territories and call it "my atoot ang"!! But again we are not discussing that. If you want to discuss our weaknesses regarding the WOT open a thread and I will respond. However the point in contention is Saudi Arabia and its acquisition of JFT. Shall we return to that!!Re bhai apna territory to defend kar le..pehele....har din log marte hain terrorrist attack se tere desh me...
