JH-7 as a Missile Hauler

Well. Your tendency to indulge in "daydreams" is even more pronounced than other people's!

This has completely lost any basis for rational discussion.

Based on PAF's experience of JF-17, PLAAF very possibly will transfer the technology and production line of the air frame, and maybe some other sub systems. Very possibly PLAAF will teach PAF pilots the tactical approaches of how to use JH-7, which is very valuable, as there is about 20 years of accumulated experience.

The poor veteran, who is already lying in his grave, and people still want to dig him up to keep working.

You want to replicate the path of JF-17, improve JH-7, and occupy the global blank middle and low-end FB market. But where does its investment cost come from? What about orders used for cost recovery? The JF-17 project is based on hundreds of orders from PAF, but PAF's demand for FB is not high, and PLAAF cannot be ordered at all.

Good points.
In 1980s, PAF invested 500 millions dollars to JF-17 projects. It was big money to China at the time. Now China is much richer, the price that PAF can offer yet will not increase proportionally.

Because the US dollar is in a high-interest-rate cycle, financing costs are currently very high all over the world. The smartest thing for PAF to do at this stage to buy nothing.

Pakistan can lease out its rare earth mines to Chinese companies for like 99 years to exchange low interest loans to buy J-10Cs.
