JF-17 Thunder Block 1 [Add-On / Replace] [Beta]

The PAC JF-17 Thunder (Urdu: جے ایف-١٧ گرج‎), or CAC FC-1 Xiaolong (Fierce Dragon; Chinese: 枭龙; pinyin: Xiāo Lóng), is a lightweight, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft developed jointly by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) and the Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC) of China. The JF-17 can be used for aerial reconnaissance, ground attack and aircraft interception. Its designation "JF-17" by Pakistan is short for "Joint Fighter-17", while the designation and name "FC-1 Xiaolong" by China means "Fighter China-1 Fierce Dragon".

AS Pakistan Air Force had to retire old obsolete Aircraft like Mirage III . F7p\PG A5. Mirage 5 etc Pakistan started its own project of light weight Multirole Aircraft that could replace existing old aircraft while bringing new features of Fourth Gen aircraft, like F-16s and F-18s . with the joint collaboration with USA CHINA and Russia JF-17 evolved from old legacy F-7PG aircraft and Chinese, usa , Russian cooperation bore fruit for Pakistan, as it is the world's most affordible and deadly lethal Fighter yet. brings alot of features with fraction of the cost.
later Due to political spit between China and USA and Russia backing out too. the project slowed down, but with chinese help and Western avionics the aircraft reached its goal. now it is replacing old aircraft of Pakistan Air Force as we speak. currently pakistan has more than 150 block 1 aircraft ready. and block 2 with more advanced Avionics and radar system (Aesa) has started production.

This Mod , brings BLOCK 1 JF-17 of Pakistan Air Force Black Panthers Squadron no,11 To GTA 5.
