Eventually in 2026 timeline

Yes but even a 2026 timeline requires a signed contract or deal now?

Hello,

Isn't there already option to mount 7.62 and rocket pods ?

Seriously, i dont know but if we can mount that gun we must do it. It will by another layer for tackling drones

Attack choppers are slower then most suicide drones ? if so the k8 and mushak can be used.

Agree we will have an extra option for shooting down drones cheaply. We have F7 and miraj in numbers but due to their high speed it will be difficult to shoot drones with them

f7 has 3 cannons it is good for ground attack and destroying drones.

It was reported that JF-17C scored its first air-to-air kills on May 7, 2025 when it likely shot down an IAF Mig-29UPG with a PL-15E long-range AAM over Kashmir. This victory could boost it export prospect on the international market.

That is fine. It could also be that PAF is negotiating hard on specs, for example like it had to make efforts to make PL15 available on JF17 as one of the preconditions of buying J10C.

Love this quote.

The paranoid person and the optimistic person balance out each other's weaknesses and strengths. Good to have both for wider perspective.

It seems the contribution from the optimist is much bigger than the pessimist.
