JF-17 and its arms for static display

The Staff of the Argentine Air Force (FAA) does not require that the Sino-Pakistani JF-17 fighters that come to buy have the ability to fire anti-ship missiles.
The information was obtained by Airpower near a source of the Argentine Congress next official in charge of negotiating the acquisition of aircraft. The explanation for this decision is that it follows a doctrinal position of the FAA on the employment of its combat component. Position aimed at, even (or especially), avoid discomfort to the Naval Command of the local Navy.
Anyway, the option of Argentine generals is a diplomatic nod to the British authorities, who fear that the purchase of fighters by Buenos Aires government means a threat to maritime traffic around the overseas territory of the Falkland Islands - Falkland calls by the Argentines.
Probe - The command of the FAA concluded that the supply of JF-17 Block II Sino-Pakistani fighter is superior to the proposals made by the French government (Mirage 2000 fighters), by the Spanish government (Mirage F.1) and the IAI (Kfir fighters modernized).
The Argentines will try to even your corporation receives three copies of the JF-17 Block I this year, even if these aircraft are delivered lacked, among other equipment, boom refueling ( probe) - component that could be installed later in Argentina.
JF-17 Block II with refueling probe
In the chapter on requirements, the leaders of the Argentine Air Force presented the Block II that their fighters can receive avionics and / or weapons of non-Asian countries systems that still export high-tech products to the Argentine armed forces with some liberality, as Israel.
Ecuador - There is very little thing decided so far, on the acquisition of JF-17, in addition to the decision to buy them as soon as possible, and so that they can receive components of the Israeli defense industry.
Remain undefined, for example, of paramount importance items such as quantity and unit value.
Payment of aircraft should be done through semi-annual discharges in a period of 10 to 15 years - uncertainty that prevents the fixing of interest rates.
Unlike what was reported, do not apply to a cancellation scheme of debt through the delivery ofcommodities , but through a financing 90% of the total cost of commercial operation in significantly facilitated conditions.
Radar principal do JF-17 Block II
Possible participation Aircraft Factory Brig San Martín (FAdeA) in mounting fighters in Argentine territory depends on the ability of manufacturers of aircraft get other customers in South America.
The Argentines have suggested that the Chinese make an attempt by the Ecuadorian Air Force (which, four years ago, she received a dozen South African fighters Atlas Chetaah, modernized).
Another issue that seems to be over is on the fear of some officers about an aircraft that does not have a two-seater version.
In recent weeks, the Argentine military elencaram a list of combat aircraft were purchased without the instruction version: Sabre fighters, A-4B and 4C-A, all of American origin.
Remember that the Super Etendard fighter-bombers imported by the Argentine Navy from 1981 also were all of one seat.

China will turn over the last batch of 50 FC-1 Xiaolong fighters, also knwon as JF-17 Thunder, to Pakistan over the next three years, said Li Pei, the former head of the aircraft project under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, in a report by the Chinese newspaper People's Daily.
Pakistan Air Force fighter aircraft
Known as the JF-17 Thunder in Pakistan, the Xiaolong is a multirole fighter designed jointly by the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex. The aircraft is a symbol of the friendship between China and Pakistan, according to Li. Pakistan is currently the only other country that uses the fighter.
Under the contract signed between Beijing and Islamabad, Pakistan will receive a total number of 110 Thunder fighters from China.
Pakistan has already received 60 fighters from China since 2007. Ten of them were devoted to the test and evaluation unit, based in Minhas, the other 50 aircraft were assigned to the 16th and 26th squadrons of the Pakistan Air Force.
The fighter, co-developed by China and Pakistan, is considered a symbol of national pride by the people of Pakistan, according to Li.
The has been responsible for escorting the aircraft of Chinese leaders during their visits to Pakistan. When Wen Jiabao and Li Keqiang, the former and current premiers, visited Islamabad in 2010 and 2013 respectively, their aircraft were under Thunder escort after they entered Pakistani airspace. Xi Jinping's aircraft was also escorted by eight JF-17 fighters before his arrival in Islamabad on April 20.

Very Interesting! However, I remain a pragmatic cynic. Remember that this is an election year in Argentina, so “La Presidenta” will appear to be strong on defense and pro-military. After that it will be the status-quo, which is basically bread and circus for the masses.
I hope that this is true and that the FAA will purchase more than 14 aircraft. 36 should be the minimum acquisition.
