JF-17 Thunder/FC-1 Xiaolong and Project Sabre II edit

  • http://www.janes.com/news/defence/jdw/jdw101224_1_n.shtml - "Pakistan to build radar for JF-17 'Thunder' fighter", By Farhan Bokhari, 24 December 2010
    • ACM Rao Qamar Suleman tells Jane's in an interview on 21 December 2010 that Pakistan's first facility for manufacturing fighter aircraft radars has been built at PAC Kamra. The radar to be produced will equip the JF-17.
    • Earlier reports suggest the radar will be China's CETC/NRIET KLJ-7, which has "received full marks" from the PAC personnel.
    • According to a PAC officer: "I have flown with this radar and with other models that we have looked at fitting to this aircraft, such as the Thales RC400, and the Chinese radar is every bit as capable as its contemporary analogs."
  • http://in.zinio.com/reader.jsp?issue=416150032&e=true - Aviation Week & Space Technology, December 20/27, 2010 (page 31) article on JF-17:
    • About half of first 42 JF-17s ordered are delivered, first squadron operational and second planned to be set up.
    • Second batch of 50 fighters to be ordered in 2011, with "enhanced features"
    • Interest shown by South African and French firms to provide updated avionics and weaponry but PAF is believed to prefer staying with Chinese suppliers.
    • Despite interest in enhancement, Air Cdre Junaid states the baseline JF-17 avionics is a positive surprise, "better than expected", pilot transition has proceeded smoothly, operations in high mountainous regions have not posed a problem.
    • PAF preparing to fully qualify crews with A-A and A-G missions, full operational clearance not far off, progress is much better than when F-16A/B Block 15 was introduced.
    • The last of 12 F-16C, 6 F-16D Block 52s were delivered on December 13 to PAF Base Shahbaz. First of four ZDK-03 rolled out in November 2010 at Hanzhong, China.
    • 20 armed CH-3 UAVs, still under development, ordered from China.
