PAF Commences Production of JF-17 Thunder Block III
Air Force inducts 14 new fighter jets into fleet
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Wednesday formally announced the serial production of the indigenously developed fourth generation JF-17 Thunder Block-III dual-carrier fighter jets equipped with a long-range radar system and advanced firing capability that is said to be a step above the Indian Air Force’s Rafael jets.
Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan told a ceremony at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) that the aircraft’s inclusion to the national fleet was a “significant” milestone, and hailed the JF-17 Thunder as a battle-tested aircraft. He specifically cited the aircraft’s use in Operation Swift Retort after the Indian Air Force violated Pakistan’s territorial integrity on Feb. 27, 2019.
