[🇵🇰-✈JF-17] Azerbaijan Air Force Becomes Fourth Operator of JF-17 Fighter Aircraft

[Old School]

Given the deteriorating relationship between Russia and Armenia and Armenia's increasing closeness to NATO, China is unlikely to approve this JF-17C Block-III export to Azerbaijan. So do the Western backers of the upcoming Pakistani government, as the Western backers are also supportive of the Armenians.

Interesting. Doesn't make much difference. It seems Hürjet is just around the corner and it's not that far off from JF-17. We could give Azerbaijan that. But I'll wait and see if Pakistan confirms or denies the sale anyway.

1.6 Billion $ is a good amount of money for Pakistan and should amount to a nice number of planes for Azerbaijan.

Last time I checked the price of a JF-17 was around 30~40 million per unit , Block III would be ~50~60 million so , if the deal is true 1 squadron plus weaponry and training would be good for the amount .
But still let's wait for official confirmation from either party

A JF-17 or an F-16 life expectancy over let’s say the Donbas or Lughansk or Donets can be counted in minutes or maybe hours at best. Same same for Su-35 or F-35. I don’t see neither the western NATO nor the Russians using any military aircraft at all since the last year straight. All warplanes are grounded because it’s pretty clearly understood what happens if they fly……..I believe that warfare has radically changed over the last few years and almost all legacy weaponry is on serious borrowed time.

failure of the Russian Air Force really warped your minds
