Pakistan’s pride, the JF-17 Thunder Block-III fighter jet, has arrived to create a stir at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) air show. The air show is taking place in the United Kingdom.
The most advanced JF-17 Thunder of the Pakistan Air Force landed at Fairford Airport in southern England, accompanied by another C-130 Hercules passenger plane and a tanker refueling an IL-78MP aircraft. The beautiful art design of the C-130 Hercules caught people’s eyes.
RIAT hosts an aircraft show every year, with over 60 countries participating. This year’s theme is “Eyes in the Skies,” and looking at the beautiful eagle eyes on Pakistan’s jets, it seems that Pakistan has once again gone to make its falcons famous.
According to the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), Pakistan delivered the commendable JF-17 Thunder Block-III to the UK, along with refueling tankers to meet the in-flight travel requirement.
The JF-17 Thunder Block-III is a 4.5 generation multi-role fighter aircraft, equipped with AESA radar and advanced missile systems. In addition, the C-130H is a transport Airbus and the IL-78MP is required for aerial refueling.
