JF-17/FC-1 Fighter Aircraft thread

[Lion]

Chinese government gives a ultra cheap loan/cash to pakistan, pakistan use it to buy JF-17 parts from AVIC for its assembly at Karma. Pak Gets a very cheap very good airplanes, AVIC and their cronies at CATIC counts the bills. Chinese government gets a nifty ready-for-sale export fighter for geopolitical influence. every one is happy.

From the slow down induction of JF-17 into PAF, I can conclude CCP feels enough of giving cheap loan to Pakistan and they are not doing that anymore. And the very fact, J-10B deal stall. Clearly, Pakistan is having finance problem.

And the very fact, JF-17 dual seat is not getting any progress clearly is another indication. AVIC is not interested going deeper into JF-17 project. So far what we seen is only talk and paper modelling of dual seat and air refuelling system. Progress is extrememly slow. I can conclude that if JF-17 wanted to be fasten. PAF needs to clog out hard cash rather than Chinese side to push the project.

Think about it, if JF-17 is so profitable. Why so many things is so slow? From WS-13 engine, dual seat, air refuelling. Finally, the very fact, JF-17 so far has not bag any export order. AVIC clearly is making a loss money venture in this JF-17 project. But politically and also as a technology testbed point of view for China, JF-17 is consider a success for AVIC. Remember , China is deep in pocket. They can stomach this little venture loss but they are no fools to continue pouring more money in.

Obviously a very informed person, Pakistan paid $800 million in 2007 for production of 42 JF-17

50th JF-17 is a last of Block I , not first of the Block II , correct ?

I think that is what the Ads says. they are starting Block II now. So the 50th plane should be the last of the Block I.

 

[ANTIBODY]

The Block-II will have improved versions of avionics sub-systems, air-to-air refuelling capability, additional weapons carriage capability and some extra operational capabilities.

so does this mean #50 is actually the 1st Blk II unit? The refueling probe is pretty obvious.

 

[ANTIBODY]

109 used as a prototype for inflight refueling system

50th jft is the basic blk1 without upgradations atm
