Pakistan rolls out JF-17 fighter plane
Pakistan yesterday celebrated the rollout of a multi-purpose jet fighter manufactured in the country under a joint venture with China.
The first locally produced JF-17 Thunder made its debut at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Kamra, a small garrison town some 65km northwest of Islamabad.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani described the launch as “a milestone” that placed Pakistan among an elite club of nations that manufacture fighter aircraft.
Pakistan had signed a development contract with China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industries Corp in June 1999, and the co-produced aircraft made its maiden flight in China in September 2003.
“It is indeed a landmark achievement, which signifies the triumph of the will of our nation,” Pakistan Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman said in a statement.
Suleman said the JF-17 Thunder project was not just limited to producing the aircraft for the two neighbours, adding that their sale to other countries “would God willing accrue substantial financial benefits in near future.”
The all-weather jet fighter is equipped with advanced avionics and weapons systems, and can reach top speeds of Mach 1.6. It has a combat radius of 1,350km, but is also capable of in-flight refuelling.
JF-17 Thunder aircraft are scheduled to replace Pakistan’s ageing fleet of French Mirages and Chinese F-7s and A-5s.
China is the main weapons supplier to Pakistan and has been assisting the only nuclear-armed Islamic country in undertaking big projects, including buidling nuclear power plants, seaports and highways.
Both neighbours have already jointly developed and produced the Karakoram 8 trainer aircraft.
“China has always stood by us and its undaunted support and willingness to go the extra mile for Pakistan has been a source of strength for the people of Pakistan,” Gilani said.

legal, what's your race? where from?
If you are really korean, lol it's a shame if you are even replying to this topic. Talk later =p first settle issues between North Korea and South Korea haha. and if you're hindi, which I am not sure about, talkin' about missiles, lol even you guys have accepted your accuracy level is far lower than our's. It is observed that your missiles deviate 800 miles away from hitting the target, lol and you're talkin' about "US" the Pakistanis. lol
Grow up, get your facts right =) though if you are really from korea, you've some nice chicks there. =P
True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing, & when knowing that you know nothing, makes you master of all (Edited version by me :p)
made in china?
is it painted with lead free paints? LOL
by the way, what do china fighter planes boast of? have they produced any planes already tested in air combat elsewhere?
or is this going to be the first?

Glass cockpits? I thought they are made of plastic polymers for safety issues when exercising ejection.

What technology F-16 had done in 1976 and been using for so many years in many of the small scale wars across the globe and has produced sooo many since was just a 2005 technological start for the China/Pakistan production.
30 years after the first F-16 design! That's a lot to catch up with.
So if I'm going to give JF-17 a bit of hope, I'm veering my vote for the preferred professional pilots for this new fighter jet...and where are they going to get them?

Babu Rao, The summary of the whole thing is that Pakistan produces one of the best pilots in the world. At the risk of making this more complicated, I want to state that Pakistani pilots (military people) have something which is specific to them and that is the passion 'embedded' in them. It is not limited to protecting their homeland but it goes far beyond. The religious values dictate loving your country and our people are rigorously trained with a speical mindset. If you could understand Urdu I would quote Dr Iqbal on this.
He got Shaheed in that mission.

We will produce more of it. It is just a beginning.

Oh don't tell me this is just ONE fighter jet and will not produce many more of it?

Heero, you should know about M.M ALAM, Pakistani pilot, who made world record by destroying five fighter planes in less then 1min. I am sure our pilot can fly your UFO too ;)

The only information I got from your comments was that you are a frustrated loser, wondering how that is going to solve any problem..
I just feel posting crap on internet isn't going to solve any problem..
Babu Rao you must have been so happy when they invented the internet no?
I mean nobody lets you speak in real life, everybody keeps f**king you left, right and center and then you come across this thing called internet where you can finally spill out the crap in your head using a fake name..
Pakistan Zindabad & Paindabad...
Long live Pak-China Friendship...(amen)
Live and let live...

prince - you are right, Big bros , US and China will always have their vested interest behind their stand. Both India and Pak has to be carefull dealing with them.
Leme tell you, both these countries would never want the issues between Ind and Pak to be resolved. They would luv it to be on forever, like stonecold and hannamontana here.
Lets hope for a good tomorrow.

MAJID mate, comprehende?
@ Majid,don't worry she's never heard of Solomon Islands either...
Am I responsible for your ignorance?
hannah ur from Solomon Islands i even naver heard of in in my life LOL and what are u talking about pakistan mind ur own bussines
peace :)
where is legalpade and his bee?
and off course your skill and craft are both no where to be seen lol
all pakistanis, comprehende? what gade is saying.
gade mate, did you brush this morning? Your posts stink. Your poor dental hygiene is effecting this topic. comprehende?
to all Pakistanis,no offence please,i just think a final review of a fighter jet cannot be made until it's tested in a real-life dogfight in the sky...until then,it's just data on paper as far as the capabilities of this jet goes...it might actually be better than the Sukhois,Mirages & the F-15/16's but it hasn't been tested against them yet...until then we ought to reserve judgement,myself included...
Truth always Satisfies you.
MAJID, is gade from Korea?
mathboy, don't mind gade. He is a certified idiot of QL. I like his idea of testing toy planes though.
Gade is obsessed with three words: mate, grammar and comprehende... comprehende??
Truth always Satisfies you.
Why do people always turn things into an "Us and them" issue ??
gade 'mate' 'comprehende'?
Made in China. Mad in Pakistan. Watch...it is mad, not made.
ur from koria so keep shut pakistan can blast ur a** china and Israel my foot and what u mean by made in china?? things and have been changed the militry is different then the toy products dude get a life china is an globle power more well then USA CHEAK youtube and news before comment.
peace :)
I understand your problem with this roll out.
Innovative and wise idea...
"i have an idea,why don't your air force boys do a little sortie over Indian airspace,wait for the Indian boys in their Sukhois & Migs & have a real dogfight & see who comes out tops?...that's the only way to prove the worth...of this jet & the pilots flying it...going up against some of the best trained fighter pilots on the planet,now that would be a worthy test for this jet..."
don't understand what all the fuss is about...Pakistan,you guys have just ASSEMBLED as opposed to DESIGNED & BUILT from scratch a jetfighter from Chinese components of a Chinese design that has NEVER been tested in a real combat situation...so like i said,why the fuss?...let a situation come up where it's put to test in a real dogfight & not some silly training exercise against some REAL fighters like the Russian Sukhois or MIG's or the French Mirage or the American F-15/16's & then let's discuss this...until then,this discussion is pointless...the article said "rolls out",it doesn't say anything about it's capabilities as a fighter jet & only a real test will prove that...i have an idea,why don't your air force boys do a little sortie over Indian airspace,wait for the Indian boys in their Sukhois & Migs & have a real dogfight & see who comes out tops?...that's the only way to prove the worth...of this jet & the pilots flying it...going up against some of the best trained fighter pilots on the planet,now that would be a worthy test for this jet...

Even the nukes they have was just shipped from china, so as this crap machine. Then they claim we invented.wht a joke!!!! Take it from me.. its going to crash on its test flight. lol
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Those planes fly so fast that the skin of the planes peels of, yet the plane has not been tested in combat at all.
Why don't you ship a couple of those planes to Syria?
Then try to cross the Israeli air space, probably by the time you armed your rockets you are blasted out of the sky by some Israeli jet fighter.
Then they will send you the remains of the shot down plane via DHL, back to the drawing board with your Chinese junk....

Capable to beat F16s??? ROFL
MADE IN CHINA dude , wake up, hope it lifts well and land safe.
It is very clear - the fighter jets rolled out of the hanger. It didn't flied yet.
Better yet, the next generation UAV's are really cool. No pilots to lose in air combat.
Cool but you should see what the F-35 Lightning II can do... ;-)
i heard that the technoclogy for the JF 17's are capable to beat the latest F16 series?
