Azerbaijan Air Force Becomes Fourth Operator of JF-17 Fighter Aircraft, President Aliyev Confirms

[Awwad]

Fantastic news. Will Azerbaijan JF-17 be with fitted Chinese or Turkey missiles how about Avionics too , China or Turkey.

I doubt there will be any experimentation. Chinese Avionics ( KLJ Aesa radar). Overall Azeris JF-17 Block IIIs should be same as PAF JF-17 BIIIs. However, missiles can be integrated and some external turkish equipment will be there like ECM or other Pods for the 8th hardpoint.

here some info:

I don’t think this is anything more than some random twitter post.

I’m sure the weapons package will be what was displayed with the aircraft. What would be the logic when Block 3 already has SD-10A and PL-10E integrated? The time it would take to integrate Turkish missiles that has not even entered serial production, if it would be possible at all with a Chinese radar, make no sense to me.

No one's offering any LCA for free. It's fine by me if it doesn't log any export orders. There's a massive backlog for the IAF that I'm primarily looking at and concerned about.

Why don't you offer it with free ketchup and chilli sauce?

That may attract more buyers right?

Gay hind!

Azerbaijan and Turkey do have a joined air to air missiles program running. What I think Azerbaijan will do is not enhancing , only customizingJF-17 Thunders for the requirement suited For Azerbaijan.

Neither the Merlin nor the Peregrine AAMs are ready or integrated, not even in Turkish F-16s and even more so Bulgarian-BS-site is the MOST unreliable "source" to read!

As such, forget it.

I wonder what are ranges of Turkish A2a missiles?
Hopefully next customers ? Iraq , Egypt, Bangladesh airforces.

Next possible customer would be Benglastan and Iraq but Ejypt no hope I guess.

I'm sure we'll find out eventually but I wonder what engine is powering the Azeri JF17Cs.

Pakistan has already exported fighter jets. Turkey has not yet.
