This was his statement:He commanded everybody to stop talking about M88 being fitted to the JF-17. I provided solid evidence that it has been considered - not by the PAF, but by the Chinese themselves. Not only that, the French were willing to sell the engine for fitting to the JF - albeit with a Rafale sale to China as well. It doesn't matter how old the source is, I proved Mr Gucci wrong, all you're proving you have an agenda and don't care about facts. Now you provide me a source that says M88 cannot be fitted to the JF or quit trolling.
This was my question related to him:i haven't seen any news reports about new engine so stop talking about one.
Better read the question carefully next time and you'll understand that there is no trolling and you don't have to be offended!Didn't he asked for a source that JF 17 will get a new engine?
Really? I got another impression from your last post:I think its clear I don't care who loves who more, because the fact is the FC-1 and possibly PAF's JF-17 could end up being fitted with Russian TVC engines - deal with it and again, quit trolling.
and now you are offended because I used your own words?From Russia with love - the same people who provide your over-rated MKI.
As you self explained, they could end up with a chinese made TVC, but it's doubtful that it will be Russian. If it was on offer in 2007 as the contract was signed, China would take and use it already in their aircrafts right?
Once again I request you to read carefully, I saidLOL. Clearly you have no concern for facts. On the one hand you say upgraded F-16s would be a threat, but on the other hand the JF-17 won't be even though we know it will also be upgraded with similar systems as those F-16s. Keep trying. By the time there will be 250 upgraded JF-17, PAF will be perfectly capable of using them to hold off 230 MKI in a defensive role.
So as I learned from this thread and Pakistani members, JF 17 won't get AMRAAM, but the upgraded and new F16 block 52 will right? It was also posted several times here, that AMRAAM and R77 has ranges of 100 Km and more at latest versions, but SD 10 only 70 Km. To me that means, just as I said before, that these F16s will be the main threat for Mki in near future, because of better radar and BVR missiles!They will be more capable than JF 17, because of better radar and BVR missiles.
