http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/paris-jf-17-wins-first-export-order-413480/The Chengdu/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 Thunder fighter has secured its first confirmed export deal.
“A contract has been signed with an Asian country,” says Air Commodore Khalid Mahmood, the Pakistan air force officer who leads sales and marketing efforts for the type.
Citing client sensitivities, he declined to specify the customer and the number of aircraft it will obtain. Deliveries will start in 2017.
He says that sales for the JF-17, which is targeted for developing nations, have been held up by political turmoil in several Middle Eastern countries.
The aircraft is making its flying debut at this year’s air show. Pakistan’s air force has brought three examples this year. One will appear on the static display, one will appear in the flying display, and the third will serve as a backup.
The JF-17 contingent at Paris this year is 80 strong, representing a significant marketing push. Khalid says the show is a good venue for meeting prospective customers from French speaking countries.
He says that 11 countries are looking at the type, which mirrors previous comments made by Chinese defence export agency Catic, which also markets the aircraft, and Pakistan air force officials.
Khalid also provided an update of Pakistan’s induction of the type. So far, 54 examples have been delivered. The first 50 were originally delivered in a Block I configuration, and these are in the process of being updated to a Block II standard. The Block II configuration features improved avionics and better software, and adds a fixed air-to-air refuelling probe.
An additional 46 aircraft will be delivered in the Block II configuration. A subsequent 50 aircraft, which will push Pakistan’s fleet to 150 examples, will have a Block III configuration. These will all be delivered by the end of 2018.
The aircraft’s developers are still working out the specifications of the Block III aircraft, but upgrades could include an active electronically scanned array (AESA) or Passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radar, says Khalid. The configuration could also include an infrared search and track (IRST) sensor, stations under the forward fuselage for various pods, and expanded precision weapons capabilities.
A two-seat variant is also planned, which will serve mainly as a trainer. Pakistan produces 58% of the airframe and China 42%. The JF-17 is powered by a single Klimov RD-93 engine.

das wird halt kopiertWie ist das Problem mit dem russischen Triebwerk gelöst?
Wieso Problem ??? Generelle Lieferschwierigkeiten gibt es keine, das Russland zugesichert hat, die Triebwerke zu liefern oder meinst Du die Tatsäche, dass sie immer noch rauchen wie Schlote ?Wie ist das Problem mit dem russischen Triebwerk gelöst?
Tja, da hast Du sogar gar nicht so unrecht, weil das bisherige RD-93 als WS-13 schon seit längerem als cvhinesische Kopie / Weiterentwicklung geplant ist ... nur muss ich gestehen, dass dieses Aggregat - wenn es auch angeblich seit letztem Sommer die J-31 antreibt und schon seit November 2012 rumfliegen soll - für mich so mysterös wie der Yeti ist.das wird halt kopiert
Mir jedenfalls nicht ...Ist bekannt wie viele Flugstunden Pilot und Flugzeug pro Jahr abreißen?
http://www.dailymirror.lk/102017/slaf-unaware-of-agreement-to-purchase-jets-from-pakistanThe Sri Lanka Air Force yesterday said it was unaware of an agreement signed with Pakistan to purchase eight JF-17 fighter jets, although Pakistan media had reported of such a move. When contacted by the Daily Mirror, Air Force Group Captain Chandima Alwis said they were unaware of any such arrangement. “From the side of the Sri Lanka Air Force, we have not decided as yet in this regard. And also I have not been informed of the matter. So, I don’t have any information on the matter,” he said. He said the Air Force was reviewing a number of suitable aircraft to be purchased and that the Pakistani JF-17 fighter jet was one such fighter jet that was being looked at.
Nigeria's plans to acquire three CAC/PAC JF-17 Thunder multirole fighters in 2016, Nigeria's Punch newspaper reported on 6 January.
Citing a leaked copy of the budget, Punch reported that NGN5 billion (USD25 million) has been allocated for the acquisition of the three JF-17s, NGN2.06 billion for 10 PAC Super Mushshak basic trainers, and NGN11.6 for two Mi-35M helicopters. Jointly developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC), the JF-17 is currently only in service with Pakistan. IHS Jane'sreported in December 2014 that Nigeria was finalising a JF-17 order, but a deal was not subsequently confirmed.
