It’s an (yet to be aired) episode of a tv show called "Zaman sükanı”, each episode has a different topic.

JF17 winning "orders" is bad news for Pakistan unfortunately as it means the PAF fleet is not being refreshed with younger platforms unfortunately.

I think B3 was a stop gap, whatever the last iteration is going to be called B4 or JF-17PFX... Is the one that's going to replace the older frames.
Maybe there would be some upgrades to the B2s.

Engine being the most crucial part of the next upgrade package and necessary for supply chain security. Considering everything going on with Russia.

Some of the block 1 will have to be replaced in 5 to 10 years.

This is a video screenshot of Uzbekistan Air Force pilots flying the J-10CE fighter jet.
The helmets they are wearing are the PLAAF-style "Panda helmets."

Is that what you wrote @Michael that an Uzbek Pilot Flying J10-CE? If this is the case, when did this happen?

The Uzbek Air Force has purchased Chinese J-10CE fighter jets, with the first batch of six aircraft having already been delivered a few months ago.

This is public knowledge, fully confirmed by official bodies on all sides. Have you not been following the news?

Thanks for responce.
Actually, I have been away from the media, especially electronic media, for the past few months, which is why this news came as a surprise to me.

The warning markings on the air intakes of the Uzbekistan Air Force’s J-10CE fighter jets feature white lettering on a red background. This is a highly distinctive and easily recognizable feature.

Extremely hilarious.

Fanboys: some Blocks 1 will have to replaced in 5 to 10 years. Block 1s which were acquired in 2008 to 2013.

Reality: PAF still flying fighter jets it acquired in 1960s.


Its not too difficult to understand that first F-7PGs & Mirages will be retired (these are over 100 units in service today) . It can take upto 5 to 8 years for these ones to be retired. Then all the F-16s acquired in 1980s will be retired. Note Block-1s were aquired at the same time as F-16 block 52s, yet Jeff block-1s are much more versatile, anti-ship missions, air to ground cruise missiles, and now home grown BVR tested via the same block-1s. By all practical means Block-1s WILL remain in service till F-16 block 52s are in service. PAC invested so much effort in overhaul capacity for a reason. They will be overhauled, upgraded but won't go anywhere in most of your lifetimes.

The beauty of the JF17 is that in theory Pakistan can zero the airframe if required, allowing them to fly longer. Something not open to it on other platforms.
