let me analyze the wiki source given for the 150-200 jf17 jigures. problem with the wiki is it does not reflect the actual source content which is used to back up a data. let's see
wiki has provided two sources for the f-16 figure, one the diplomat when pakistan bought 13 F-16 aircraft from Jordan. and it says
The purchase brings the Pakistan Air Force’s total F-16 count to 76.
other is tribune which assume the 8 aircraft US promised.
PAF currently operates 76 F-16 fighters. The latest sale, if it goes through, will boost the fleet to 84 aircraft.
but we both know the deal never went through, so currently PAF has 76 aircraft not 84. right?
now let's examine jf-17 figure and the source made to back up the 150-200 figure. two sources are provided but carefully examining the sources it's daylight clear that sources says something else.
first is quwa.org dated 7 dec 2016 just two days ago, here is what it says
Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) delivered a total of 70 JF-17 Block-I and Block-II multi-role fighters to the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) since the fighter’s induction in the PAF in 2010-2011 (Radio Pakistan).
The figure was released by PAC during a hearing with the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Defence Production on Wednesday, 07 December.
The figure was released by PAC during a hearing with the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Defence Production on Wednesday, 07 December.
Currently, the PAF has a firm requirement for 150 JF-17s divided across three production blocks, i.e. Block-I, Block-II, and Block-III.
Recent news reports posit that the PAF intends to increase this requirement to 250 units, which, despite being mentioned frequently, has yet to see direct confirmation from the PAF.
the other source radio pakistan says the same thing
Pakistan Aeronautical Complex has handed over seventy JF-17 fighter jets to Pakistan Air Force for its operational activities.
F-16: 76
JF-17: 70
not all of them are operational ready. these heavy machinery need a lot of maintenance and repair work spanning months. at any given time one third or half of them are ready to fly and perform.
operational ready figure
F-16: 30
JF-17 : zero lol as it is junk
look this is not defence.pk where other fella will inflate your ego and will clap for your claims, here we make sure you eat the dust.
