With African market in the eye, JF-17 Thunder to roll in Morocco Air Show.

[Kompromat]

These rather fine ideas should be explained in a Quwa report exploring the possible avenues of cooperation. We can also add SA HMS to the list. @Quwa

The incentives align. South Africa is looking to make in-roads against the incumbent players, and while that country has all of the right munitions (e.g. Denel Umbani, A-Darter, Raptor II and in-development Marlin BVRAAM), it doesn't have a platform which it can market from without dealing with the incumbents.

On the other hand, the JF-17 doesn't have a set of native origin munitions. Instead, it uses weapon systems from China, Brazil and (if A-Darter is acquired) South Africa.

South Africa and Pakistan could basically get into a commercial agreement where each party could market the goods of the other party. Denel could use the JF-17 as the poster-bird for its munitions (especially when facing developing country air forces), and the PAF can line-up and talk-up Denel munitions at every air show it attends.

To make things even smoother, Pakistan could license manufacture the Umbani, A-Darter, Marlin, an export-oriented ALCM (which would ideally double as an AShM), etc, and be a vertically integrated vendor.

Heck, I'd even try to set up an agreement with South Africa's Paramount Group where it could buy a few JF-17s for use as training aircraft for 'Top Gun Training Academy' for African air forces. It currently uses the Mirage F-1, but if the PAF can proliferate JF-17s across the continent, it could change that.

Overall, Pakistan would be able to achieve public and private sector defence ties unlike any other.

I have seen some excitement about JF-17 in Moroccan Defence Forums. They are even giving opinions about what should be the Camouflage for RMAF's JF-17s. I found these Pictures on Moroccan Defence Forums. Its Good to see that people are admiring this Aircraft for being cost Effective, Free of Conditions and Advanced.

Fund is not a problem , you already fortified half a million USD in recent air show, which shows you have ample of fund isn't?

I dont think so as we never announced PAF is going for BIAS. The same idrw.org which claimed we had lost initially half a billion bucks also claimed that Thunder has participated in last 3 episodes of BIAS. Come on man one should atleast not be in hang over state while claiming serious stuff. Also if PAF had paid this money, do U think our news channels wud have spared us?

you already fortified half a million USD in recent air show

U actually meant forfeit? Right?

We really need to add AESA and more hard points on JF-17 along with good targeting pod. That would bring us more market
