Azerbaijan Pakistan sold JF-17C Block-III worth 1.6 billion USD to Azerbaijan

Oh wow, I think those are some interesting assumptions.

Though, only going by what is actually known, it already is interesting that a program of sort called PFX exists. We'll be able to figure out what it is and how much it coincides with your guess in the coming years. Thanks for the heads up.


Okay, that's some actual figures I've not found anywhere else. Thanks for the info. If that started in 2010, then it must have been part of the original agreement with the Chinese. I wonder what that 50% actually consists of. To me it's quite surprising, since that would be something what the Pakistani government could greatly boast about because as we all know, avionics ain't easy. If you can find details, I'd very much like to ask for your kindness to share. Thanks again.

PFX is at the design stage at best and the costs for such a program will be extensive. Where the funding will come from is a big Q. Already the project AZM has been quietly shelved

Nothing new. If there were any compromising factors against the JF-17, the Russians wouldn't miss the opportunity to announce it to the world like a rooster at dawn

We will probably see Azerbaijani JF-17 version during ADEX-2026 in September, if I had to guess, Azerbaijani JF-17 is gonna be different than Pakistani one, possibly fitted with a lot of Turkish subsystems, thats most likely why we haven't seen any deliveries yet.

Wants TF35000 installed according to the article. That is nonsense, isn't it?

I follow publications related to our military aviation quite closely.
TF35000 is a completely different topic, unrelated to the JF17. Until now, I haven't heard of any connection between them. Perhaps the author is confusing it with... the F35
Indeed, you shouldn't take everything journalists write at face value.

What about the Aselpods mentioned ?

Do we have an estimated delivery date of JF-17 fitted with the subsystems ?
