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 is home to a vast fleet of fighter jets. They are used to defend the country against any incoming attack and carry out other duties. These aircraft are highly trained and capable of fulfilling their tasks effectively. They are also famous for their enchanting displays during flypasts and air shows.
These events are attended by almost all active PAF fighter aircraft, and the results are amazing. These aircraft are usually flown by highly-trained pilots to mark patriotic occasions such as the Pakistan Resolution Day (23 March), Defence Day (6 September) or Independence Day (14 August).
JF-17 Block 3.
The JF-17 Block 3 fighter was a lightweight multirole fighter which flew its first flight in late 2019. It is widely recognized as a 4.5th-generation aircraft. This aircraft has significant improvements over its predecessors. It has advanced avionics, weapons capabilities, which gives it significant advantages over rival fighters from India.
This aircraft is Pakistan's most advanced and features a sophisticated radar, avionics, and weaponry suite. Pakistani authorities expect to purchase at least 50 aircraft from this manufacturer, with the first JF-17 Block 3s arriving in late 2019.
The Pakistani JF-17 fighter is a crucial part of their arsenal. This highly-capable, air-to–air fighter can be used for all missions, including ground strikes. It has also been shown to be a very effective weapon against Indian missile defense systems.
The JF-17, in addition to its superior armament and cost-effectiveness, is an affordable way to modernize a fighter unit and allow it to field cutting-edge sensors, data links, and weaponry. This makes it an attractive candidate to replace Pakistan's old Cold War-era Mirage/J-7 fighters.
It can be used by the Crosshair to intercept and destroy surface air-to-air missiles. Crosshair is able to track and detect enemy aircraft, and then engage them with a precise fire rate.
Another vital part of Pakistan's jets' armament are the IR/LDWS systems, which can kill ground-based targets from air. This is used by the Pakistani army as well as other forces to attack enemy territories without having to contact them directly.
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. The ceremony saw Imran Khan, the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and other heads from Pakistan's armed forces officially commission the aircraft into the Pakistani military air force. The ceremony was also broadcast nationally.
