JF-17 PFX program

In your above picture 3rd part is Iranian with Pakistani flag what that's means? Are Iranian also participating/collaborating in in PF-X project or just consider as customer , I don't understand what's the meaning of Iranian flag

Yes they would be participating also. They may join this project in some capacity. At least they would be given an invitation. Saudis and Turks are already on board.

Once again. Please do not spin another fantasy story but answer the simples question already asked so often!

This is ridiculous to think Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey would develop a joint version of the JF-17.

The second picture shows a heat map of the aircraft. With the obvious hint that they will work on reducing the heat signature, thus making it harder for IRST systems to find and track the aircraft. That’s definitely a 5th gen feature.

If everything more or less remains the same this is irrelevant in terms of being rated 5th generation.

Again, I can only repeat once again we know too little to come to only concrete conclusions but spinning wild stories like assuming a multi-Muslim joint development of a semi-5th generation fighter is as ridiculous as claiming any sighting of a FC-31 demonstrator between 2016 and 2018 was surely a new secret J-31 prototype so that by now surely more than 5 are already flying.

These are pure speculative wishful thinking dreams, but devoid of any sense of being realistic.

Correction. PAF is sharing a long term vision and we are well within our rights to make educated guesses on how it will materialise.

Yes for sure, similar the current German minister of Defence is „sharing a long term vision and we are well within our rights to make educated guesses on how it will materialise“ but that does not mean these visions are realistic or even affordable.

"The JF-17 PFX programme, set to be formally launched alongside the Aerospace Village in February 2024, represents a significant milestone in the PAF’s pursuit of selfreliance and other niche technologies required for the development of the aerospace industry in Pakistan. The JF-17 PFX programme has progressed to 30 to 40 percent into the design phase."

What on Earth is an aerospace village?

The Russia-Ukraine has renewed the debate on the efficacy of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV) that are much cheaper and safer to operate in highly dense and technologically intensive air space. However, the US-led Western allies continue to use 5th-generation combat aircraft to pound their...

Good good. It's creating local jobs, local expertise, and transferring lots of tech. It's very good.

Sarcasm?

This slide was prepared and presented by PAF not me. So ask them why they have included Iran flag why they live in fantasy world and have included Iranian work without taking Iranian permission or doing background work. Do you really think they included Iranian and Saudi flag without talking to them? Now I am finding it to control my laughs.

Please tell me my eyes deceive me because I am seeing two engines.

Either there are two engines, or the single engine is way too big. But yes, looks like two engines.

feel free to work on ifs and buts

The fact remains, on both occasions, adversaries were stared down with Pakistan enjoying the superiority in the escalation ladder, by some margin.

According to a former PAF Chief, they're 5 years ahead in the realm of the EW vis-a-vis their principal adversary. On 02-27 they penetrated into the Mahrem of the IAF as even their IFF systems started to fail! It means a complete capitulation. Looks like the PAF is in no mood to relax......

Just a single engine - the way they’re showing this CFD type graphic makes it look like that.
