JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

Just in case people are wondering why funds are not available for high-tech defense procurements for PAF. Below is real problem we have. Challenge is not Brahmos and Rafale. Challenge is this

What I was trying to point out is the amount of of money ($s) being lost to corruption that makes up the Indian budget compared to the Pakistani budget.
Maybe, I can offer you some completely different perspectives on the issue.

1. When the public is still aware of and calling for the government to address corruption, it indicates that there is still hope for resolving the corruption problem in that country. However, if any data or information leads the public to completely ignore this issue, it means that the corruption problem in that country is beyond redemption.

2. Official corruption is not a good phenomenon, but it is not the main factor causing a country's backwardness.

These issues need to be viewed dialectically. Don't attribute all the problems to corruption.

This is a technical thread about the JF-17 series fighter jet, not a political thread about Pakistan!
 
Given that the price of the JF17C and J10CE are now apparently very close after the upgrade to Block III, why is it that the JF17C is starting to rack up more sales to clients than the J10CE ? Why do we think that is happening ?

With the exception of Pakistan, and now Indonesia, there are no other actual confirmed sales of the J10CE. Egypt is an unknown, and no one truly knows what Iran is up to for her Airforce if anything.

We have the potential of Nigeria ordering JF17C as part of their next procurement type of around 40 units ( though it may go elsewhere as well for a new type given the way the requirement is worded ).

The prices of the JF-17B3 and J-10CE are relatively close, but there are still some differences. It is generally believed that the price of the JF-17B3 is approximately US$32-35 million, while the price of the J-10CE is approximately US$40-60 million. The exact price depends on the internal configuration chosen by the customer.

Arms sales are not simply determined by price or performance factors. In fact, many times these factors are irrelevant.

BTW.
Regarding Egypt's procurement plans, there are some rumors:
Due to pressure from the United States, Egypt canceled its plans for the J-10CE. However, they purchased 10 WJ-700 UAVs.
 
We, or China? 🤔
The Pentagon released its "2025 China Military Power Report" today. This is a screenshot of the report.

Many people on Chinese social media are discussing the report today. The general consensus is largely the same:
The report's authors are talking nonsense, simply modifying last year's report and submitting it again. The content and data in the report are completely worthless and only for entertainment purposes.

I expect many similar posts to appear on this forum in the coming days.

It's pointless.
