Re: JF-17/FC-1 Fighter Aircraft thread 2009
All your so called previous modification you indicate comes with blessing from China side, not yr so called go ahead even without Chinese approval which is mention by yr buddy. You can try that at the expense of cease of support from China side.
Even using the American engine on K-8 was first tested by Chinese side before passing the know how assemble process to Pakistan.
It is funny someone always try to credit from things they never do it.... Do u have wind tunnel to test out the plane with modification??
Regarding the Grifo radar fit with American missile. Western radar are design to have easy intergration with any NATO standard ammunition. Nothing rocket scientist about it.
Mastan Sir, don't sweat about it, leave it. Let them have a field day by thinking what they think.
Simple thing is, JF-17 is a joint venture and PAF had specifically showed its intent of an engine change in future if need arises at the start of the project, whether it be a Chinese engine or a western one, all it matters is, it should be an efficient engine in operational and maintenance sectors, thrust should be appropriate.
The Chinese partner would not say no to this as it is a joint venture and as told above, PAF had told about a future engine change if need arises, and Chinese have no problem with that, as we have money invested in it too, and if we look at our past record with China, we have made many modifications in Chinese equipment bought or manufactured jointly, and China has never said anything about that. Be the F-6s equipped to fire US made A2A missiles, F-7P&PGs equipped with Grifo radars and firing western weapons, Al Khalid tank equipped with Ukrainian engine, other western electronics, LY-60 SAM system integrated with British Type-21 frigates, K-8 being equipped with western engine, and other equipment. They have never said anything in all the above examples and would not say a No in this JF-17 also.
But if someone wishes to bring smiles to their faces that China will say No to it, then let them keep smiling, no worries.
