Elaborate on that mate. Where did you see that number?

On a side note, do you own (have personally taken) your avatar image?

Well it has to certainly get completed , and ideally if we also had facility in Baluchistan would be great due to ideal location for testing aircraft's in remote areas

20-25 planes is reasonable goal

We have 180-250 old aircrafts to replace

The number of total aircraft to be replaced is 343 (MIRAJ + F-7's)

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) on Monday rolled out the 16th Block 2 JF-17 aircraft and formally handed it over to the Pakistan Air force (PAF), marking the completion of four squadrons.

Technically this info is incorrect.
1: 26 Squadron (Spiders)
2: 16 Squadron (Black Panthers)
3: CCS (Dashings)
4: No. 2 Squadron, (Minhas) converted earlier this year.

Nice great work by PAC and thank god they're finally increasing the numbers from 16 to 25 but imo that is still a bit low

The spokesperson stated that authorities have decided to increase production capabilities
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Spokesperson for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Monday has said that Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) has achieved its annual production goal.

In a statement issued, the spokesperson stated that authorities have decided to increase aeronautical complex’s production capabilities.

The complex has handed over 16th JF-17 Thunder aircraft to the air force in the ongoing year.

Earlier in September, Kamra complex had made the Airborne Warning And Control System (AWACS) aircraft operational on half the cost as compared to foreign companies. As a result, USD 15 million were saved due to the indigenous repair to the aircraft. Feasibility study of Gwadar deep waters shipyard was also completed.

The aircraft had been damaged in an attack by terrorists during on Kamra aeronautical complex.

Then clearly PAC didnt produce 229. News report are clear. 16 JF-17 were produced in Pakistan this year. But We are seeing nearly 30 JF-17 being produced

Try to understand dear its the upgraded version. Shhhhhh top secret! Like nargis fakhri

Contrary to sensless statements coming out of Pakistan. It has become more of routine for our Airforce to obscure facts contrary to visible evidence coming out of other sources. It is not possible only 16 JF-17 were produced because

In January 2015, JF-17 0213 were revealed in china

How come from January 2015 to December 2015, Only 3 JF-17's were produced ? Impossible

Then JF-17 229 came in to picture in November 2015. This picture was posted by official chinese sources which indicate another JF production line setup in china. We can clearly see two JF-17 in the workshop

So as per my understanding, there were 30 JF-17 produced from June 2014- December 2015. PAC may have produced 16 JF-17's while China may have produced rest of the 14 for the export customer.

i read that pac is producing 16 jets pa and is capable of a maximum of 25, but is increasing production . when you say 30 jets is that from both china and pakistan?

Yes exactly.

Going by that logic, 216 is the last to come off the production line, while 212 was seen escorting the President of Tajikistan, a couple of months earlier.

 

[Blue Marlin]

Yes exactly.

also to what rate is pac producing jf-17's now? since they decided to increase production rates
