Sri Lankan Air Force Commander visits Air Headquarters, PAC, Kamra

[sathya]

And we have inducted 4 Sqds of JF as of right now? with BLK II in production? As far as export of LCA is concerned... I doubt that very much considering its probably going to be inducted by 2017-18? by indian airforce...



“We have nearly confirmed orders from seven countries for JF-17,” Mr Hussain said.

Pakistan, which is at present producing Block-2 of JF-17 at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra, is eyeing orders from countries in the Middle East and Africa.

“The PAF has a requirement of 250 aircraft, but now we have decided that we’ll sell some of the JF-17 Block-2 to international buyers besides fulfilling our local demand,” the minister said.

I doubt those...

Only 50 JF 17 block 1 orders are over, yet to see a new block2 , not upgraded block1-2.
So 4 squadrons is not possible..

I am thinking few African countries will be buying JF 17, 7-8 countries again is not possible I think..
And there is no trainer version yet ..

Selling it to Sri Lanka or Myanmar is difficult.
India will put pressure to buy Russian if not indian ..

When your country is in pressing need to replace your old planes, how would you spare JF 17 block 2 for exports ?

Only if you had any knowledge reguarding the JF developments..(see the JF threads)... all BLKIs are getting upgraded to BLKII standard and an order of 4th Sqd (BLKII) has already been placed:

Okay... whatever sails your boat...

Selling it to Sri Lanka or Myanmar is difficult.

haaan?

Sri Lanka is already an exporter and reliable defence partner of Pak...

Myanmar also bought some VTA1 (export model of MBT-2000)..

When your country is in pressing need to replace your old planes, how would you spare JF 17 block 2 for exports ?

Coz we have 2 production facilities (one at PAC and other in China) ..

@desert-fighter

I meant I haven't seen new block 2 yet, photos of upgraded block 1 to 2 are seen

You said 4 squadrons are in service already..
When u order next 50 in block 2 version , it's obvious you will buy avionics for 3 , 4 the possibly 5 squadron too..

Myanmar I am not sure, yeah Chinese can pressurise them..
India have sold naval equipments to them too

Okay..

Production started around mid December 2013, that 2014 approx.. According to the source you have given.
So by this year end or beginning next year you will see block 2 flying .. That's is consistent with everyone saying.

There are 2 squadrons in service as far as I know..

Black spiders and panthers are two squads you have

Zarrars are third one when block 2 rolls out , if I am not wrong ?

Few planes are with testing and evaluation centre I think.

U r correct about black spiders and black panthers,both of them have 16 aircrafts each.Around 5 jets r test beds for weapons.The 3rd squadron is here and operational but is not complete(thats why it does`nt have a name yet).But it is a known fact that we have more than 50 JFTS
