Instead of attempting to play the role of a police officer, take a moment to arm yourself with the necessary knowledge.

AIRCRAFT MRO​

JF-17 AIRCRAFT MRO​

Established since 2017, JF-17 aircraft MRO at Aircraft Rebuild Factory is the sole organization in the world for overhauling JF-17 aircraft. New JF-17 MRO hangar has been established which is having 16 aircraft docks capacity including two environmental controlled docks and 02 overhead cranes of 05 tons capacity each.

Each dock is equipped with dedicated electric and pneumatic power supply, fire suppression system and ground support equipment. It is capable to annually produce 16 aircraft. The overhauling of JF-17 aircraft also includes establishment / upgradation of aircraft painting / de-painting, components overhauling, AME overhauling and spares manufacturing facilities to meet the standards of advanced state of the art overhauling facilities.

The first aircraft was rolled out in SEP'19, so block one as a whole was overhauled in 3 years, hopefully to your satisfaction.

I have a silly question, if mods don't like it, please go ahead and delete it.

My question:
Do you guys think it is worthwhile for the Chinese aviation industry (perhaps working together with Pakistan) to develop a twin engine version of the JF-17, with two RD-93/WS-13E.

My thinking would be that this would make this new twin engine JF-17 a potential CATOBAR naval fighter, which shares many of the same subsystem with the J-35 (with future potential to upgrade to WS-19), and acts as a non-stealthy version of J-35. This replaces the J-15, gives the carrier group a huge improvement and saving operational cost and ease of logistics.

If twin-engine JF-17 can catch up to J-15 in terms of the most desired capability that the PLAN sorts, would it not be a good idea to go with that?

If this question is not appropriate here, please inform me right away.
