JF-17 production commences

Production of the JF-17 Thunder combat aircraft started on 22 January at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) at Kamra near Islamabad.

The JF-17 has been developed under a joint Sino-Pakistani venture for a lightweight multirole combat aircraft powered by a single engine - the Klimov RD-93, a derivative of the RD-33. The manufacture of parts for the aircraft began at the PAC Kamra facility in 2005.

According to Pakistan's Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) expects to receive its first eight aircraft of an initial production run of 16 within the next few months.
