You have made an assertion, you have been challenged to try and back it up with evidence/proof by multiple people and you have failed to provide any evidence at all ...

So, people are right to call you out on it.

Sigh.

Technical Problems Ground Myanmar’s JF-17 Fighter Jets Bought From China

The $25-million jets arrived with structural problems but post-coup sanctions and a lack of local expertise make it impossible to fix them, ex-Air Force pilots say.

I am not, but please feel free to ignore anything that does not align with your already-decided views. No problem.

Even if we assume you're not making it up (you can't provide any support), why do you think there's no issues with PAF's JF17 fleet but only Nigeria's and Maynmar's, as you claim? Could be lack of adequate maintenance? Poor training and ground handling? Improper use? It doesn't suggest anything inherently wrong with the aircraft or it's systems. An example would be the poor operational performance of the Vipers in Iraqi service, mostly due to poor training and maintenance, or do you think there's something wrong the Vipers too?

Not at all. All combat aircraft have their own particular issues. I just posted this information to provide one possible reason for the Nigerians to order more than the three aircraft, as mentioned above. That is all.

Do you think an indian news source that calls the JF17 "Blunder" with a fake pic of a crashed JF17 is reliable?

None of the sources I have quoted are Indian.

Have you bothered to look at the images and description of what they're saying? There's so many holes in the article I don't know where to begin. But hey, if you think that's accurate, that's entirely your prerogative.

That is one reason I avoided any Indian sources. Public release of such information usually adds in some chaff with the wheat on purpose.

The JF-17 is a fine aircraft, no doubt. The Nigerians and Burmese air forces have had issues with them, as I pointed out above, but that is probably not because of the jet itself. After all, the aircraft is just one part of a complex system.

The only reason I pointed out their issues was as a possible explanation for their reluctance to order more. Nothing more, and nothing less.

You said Nigeria's JF17s are grounded, can you provide support for that too?

Their "technical issues" limit mission availability significantly. That is about as far as I can say for now.

Why the change? You specifically said they were "grounded".
