PAF raises two squadrons equipped with JF-17 Thunder jets

PAF standard is 12 to 18 depending on availability of the type.
eg; F-104A/B squadron was 12 a/c.
 
actually the 1st order of 42 a/c has been completed - add the 8 SLP a/c and we get a total of 50.

2 sqds of 16 a/c have been inducted.
the 3rd sqdn induction is imminent (by mid-year 2012)
the 2nd tranche of 50 a/c will start production in the 2nd half of 2012.

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

by end 2013 it is expected that 100 a/c will be inducted (this is the plan - delays do take place eg; the unfortunate crash of a JFT under test which was earmarked for the 3rd JFT squadron)

Is there a link or something that shows the inventory of JF-17s in PAF ?? or the status of scheduled production
 
we rely on information from 'reliable' media sources which are only 85% correct (no one has 100% information). the second info source is 'serving & retired officers' who are willing to share info without compromising anything.
 
It would be only fitting if we setup 2 squadrons in Shamshi airbase

yes 2 squadrons were so 2010 news we are now in 2012 , plus we also have 50 coming from China

2012 will be wonderful year for new arrivals
 
3rd was expected to be raised in DEC 2011, dont know the reason y it delayed ????

Besides, we were also getting our 8 F16A/B which were in MLU in Turkey and USA [4 in each country for MLU]....
No news abt them either ???
 
2 squad old new man more jets comming this yeras in large no as 50 from china and paf is making 26 per year :undecided: well man large no induction of jf15 is expected this year for sure:chilli:
