Oman examines JF-17 fighter jet purchase with Pakistan and China while operating F-16s and Eurofighters

[PakAl]

Why are you guys assuming that we are not inducting more BLOCK III? BLOCK III is our beast we can induct as many as we can and don't announce things for as long as we want.

How many Block 3 have we inducted so far.

People putting a number of 30 out there, but I guess in reality PAF would want to keep that figure ambigious

Previously, it was reported that the production capacity for the J-10 series of fighter jets at the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) is approximately 60 aircraft per year. ------ Among the primary fighter jets currently in service with the Chinese military, this represents the lowest production volume.

For the JF-17 series, the primary constraint is the volume of orders—encompassing both requirements from the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and export contracts. Without a large number of orders to support it, there is no point in increasing the production line's capacity.

If PAC were to invest in expanding the capacity of its existing production lines to enable an annual output of 60–100 JF-17 series fighter jets, how many years of production could the current order book sustain? Ultimately, any investment in production facilities is incorporated into the cost of production—this is a fundamental principle of industry.

Yes, all valid points and thus the current situation managing the orders and domestic needs. The key for Pakistan is whether it even makes sense to invest in enhancing the production lines given the uncertainty of future orders.

All the export Rafale order have seen the first delivery 3 years after 1st bank wire. It doesn't mean all the jets are delivered all together.
It's the same for all the jet manufacturer. Even the USA or China.
Your J-10 were not all delivered in a single batch.

Technology can change? you are right. It is why a F5 std is on the drawing board.

Bhai leave it to nations producing and exporting jets in reality.

If your nation doesn't produce and export any jets, you can always fry a samosa and have it with some chutney. Even better for you if the samosa is fried in UAE.
