A fighter jet is a military plane that's specifically designed for air to-air combat. These aircraft typically have advanced weaponry, and can be used at high speed to strike distant targets, making them extremely useful in all conflict situations.
Pakistan Air Force owns a large fleet of fighter aircraft that it uses to defend its country against incoming attacks as well as to perform other duties. These planes are well-trained and can perform their duties efficiently. They are also known for their stunning displays during flypasts, air shows, and other events.
Almost all the active PAF fighter jets participate in these events, and their performance is incredible. These aircraft are normally flown by highly trained pilots to commemorate patriotic occasions like Pakistan Resolution Day (23rd March), Defence Day (6th September) and Independence Day (14th August).
JF-17 Block 3
The JF-17 Block 3 was a multi-role, lightweight fighter that flew for the first time in late 2019 It is widely regarded as a 4.5-generation aircraft with many significant improvements compared to its predecessors. It is equipped with advanced avionics as well as weapons capabilities. This gives it a significant advantage over Indian rival fighters.
It is the most modern of Pakistan's fleet, and has a very sophisticated radar, avionics and weaponry suite. Pakistan plans to buy at least 50 of these aircraft. The first JF-17 Block 3s are expected to arrive in the latter part of 2019.
A JF-17, a Pakistani air-to–air fighter, is essential to Pakistan's arsenal. It can be used for any mission, including ground-to-air strikes. It is also very effective against Indian missile defense systems.
The JF-17 has superior armament. This makes it a cost-effective option for modernizing fighter units to a higher level and allowing them to field cutting edge sensors and data links. This makes it a potential candidate to replace most of the Pakistan's ageing Cold War-era Mirage and J-7 fighters, which are also considered outdated.
It can be used by the Crosshair to intercept and destroy surface air-to-air missiles. Crosshair detects and tracks enemy aircraft. It then engages them with a precise fire rate.
Another important part of the Pakistani jets' armament is the IR/LDWS system, which can target and kill ground-based targets from the air. This is used often by the Pakistani army, and other forces, to attack enemy territory without having to come into direct contact.
J-10C
The Chinese-built J-10C fighter jet is a key part of the Pakistani armed forces' arsenal and is designed to be an omni-role aircraft that can be used for all sorts of missions. On Friday, the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan attended a ceremony in which the aircraft was officially handed over to the Pakistani Air Force. The ceremony was also broadcast nationally.
