A fighter plane is a military aircraft specifically designed to combat air-to–air conflict. Typically, these aircraft have advanced weaponry and can be used to strike far-off targets at high speed, making them extremely useful in any conflict.
Pakistan Air Force maintains an extensive fleet fighter planes. These aircraft are used to protect the country from potential attacks, as well as other missions. These aircraft are highly-trained, capable of performing their duties well. 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. To commemorate patriotic events such as Pakistan Resolution Day (23rd march), Defence Day (6th september) and Independence Day (14) August), these aircraft are flown by highly skilled pilots.
JF-17 Block 3
The JF-17 Block 3 light, multirole fighter first flew in 2019 and is now available for purchase. It is widely believed to be a 4.5th generation aircraft with numerous improvements over previous generations. 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. Pakistani government plans to purchase at minimum 50 of these aircraft. First JF-17 Block 3s should arrive in late 2019.
The Pakistani JF-17 is an essential part of its arsenal. It is an air-to air fighter capable of carrying out all types of missions including air-to ground strikes. It is also very effective 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. It is therefore a viable candidate to replace the Pakistan's outdated Cold War-era Mirage fighters and J-7 fighters.
It can use it to intercept and destroy air-to–air missiles. The Crosshair can track and identify enemy aircraft and engage them with a precise rate of fire.
The IR/LDWS system is another important component of the Pakistani fighter jets' armament. It can strike and kill ground-based targets using the air. This is often used by the Pakistani army or other forces to attack targets on enemy territory without being in direct contact.
