JF-17 - Updates, News & Discussion

[m52k85]

Sorry, I stand corrected.

• 14 Block-2B aircraft (however, these were produced in 2020, so they fall within the previous decade).
• 15 Block-3 aircraft produced in 2022.
• 6 Block-3 aircraft produced in 2023 (could be more).

We don't yet have the acquisition data for the PAF covering 2024–2026.

PAC has become extremely secretive since the new government took office in February 2024. Or, I would say, since the attempted coup on 9 May 2023.

I don't think PAC going secretive has anything to do with any political situation. We just have not been producing Jf-17s for PAF, they latest ones have gone Azerbaijan, along with PAF's own block-2. Fighter procurement has taken a back seat in the age of drones and rockets.

That's most hilarious line in this thread. I won't digest a immoral political propaganda on JF-17 thread without setting the record straight.

Whole planet knows the soft coup was done on 2022, MNAs on run, hiding (both who wanted to avoid military capturing them and ones who agreed to vote to avoid jail). Even judges weren't spared by military. VNC in Pakistan in IMPOSSIBLE without military intervention. THAT IS CALLED soft COUP. when military intervention threw a govt and installed new set of puppets who effectively have destroyed economy & security of the country in last 4 years.

I am wondering you are talking of one Col. (R) Liaqat who used have an office in the parliament building and used to control/force MNAa and Senators to vote in support of Imran government. Disgracefully enough, that dude reportedly used to put some MNAs in a containers on suspensions on their loyalty.

For 9th may 2023, its basic / common sense:

1- Who benefited from it most? Who got the licence to do unlimited crackdown, throw leaders into jails and brute force any political threat.
2- Who triggered the event? Who felt the need to trigger the nation by rangers storming into the court and grabbing and arresting a popular leader.

3- Also remember, it was a political party who wanted everything to happen with law and order and according to constitution. They knew they can win an election. They would NEVER deliberately do such a thing.

4- How many RPGs, / guns / weapons did the perpetrators used for this "coup". Lowest IQ people would call outburst of a nation as a "coup" attempt. BTW, no one in their right mind can really outgun the military with one or two generals even supposedly onboard. Did they try arresting COAS or something lol.

Lastly, people of Pakistan knows what happened in last 4-5 years. Military threw a govt and installed new one that's it. There's nothing hiding in it. No amount of silly propaganda can twist the reality of how things happen in Pakistan.

Rather than talking all this nonsense, just realize the simple ground reality that military stopped Col Liaqat from doing his disgraceful job. Then whatever followed was expected given the infamous stupidity of khotakhails. He lost all his political 'allies' within no time.

All that ended in khotakhail being the first PM of Pakistan disgracefully getting kicked out through a democratic process of no-confidence motion in the National Assembly.

Blaming the presumed beneficiaries cannot hide the incapability of Imran government and utterly stupid actions it resorted to for dealing with the no-confidence motion. And the khotakhail cult's incompetent government fell flat in no time.
