First glimpse into jf-17 block 3?

[Armchair]

Saudi's are interested.

If PAF offered them an entire setup with pilots and ground staff, and taking on the Houthis in Yemen (from the air), the Saudis would very likely say yes.

But they have better ground strike aircraft than JF-17.

The Saudis (along with the Indians) prove that it isn't the machine that matters, but the man behind it. The Saudis have Eurofighters, F15s and Tornados. They still suck; quite bad.

You got all that - by an outline/cutout - and that too from a low-res image...

>>Here<< are some interesting BlockIII titbits. By the way, a redesigned nose with FC31 style chin EOTS would be a real shocker.

I dont think that the nose would be so much redesigned it would only be "enlarged" and no trusted sources said it would be redesigned. You are right FC31 would be a real shocker but it would require to redesign the aerodynamics of all the aircraft it would require much more money + effort.

That is precisely why they need a package deal with the JF-17s - the JF-17s would come with Pak pilots, the men behind the machine that matter.

Nose i meant.

We have a living example of this in our neighbours.

BlockIV perharps as was reported on CMA.

That's an overestimation of our abilities, or to be more precise, of our national will. I'm not saying Pakistan can't bolster the Saudi coalition, but that it shouldn't. Yemen isn't a question of military experience or might, but of political will and a clear, coherent strategy. The Saudi prosecution of the Yemen crisis is disastrous because it hinges on a half-assed strategy, and the national will rests solely on the ambitions of MBS. The US and UK among others have provided equipment and training to the Saudis, but you can only lead a horse to water, and it shows. We cant afford to get stuck in that hellish quagmire, as we'll stand to lose money, materiel, lives, and most importantly, our collective conscience(s?).

We offer them a squadron of JFT with pilots to defend Saudi territory and the holy sites. Sounds quite simple and straight forward.

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Why dont we lease out PAF in that case as well?!

Will you send YOUR son or daughter to Yemen to fight for some fat sultan's wet dream???
