Recently, military blogger ‘Xiaolong’ posted on social media: ‘The FC-1 Xiaolong fighter jet has already sold 60 units—but this is just the beginning.’ The statement quickly drew widespread attention. Co-developed by China and Pakistan, the JF-17 Thunder (also known as FC-1 Xiaolong) is a lightweight, multirole combat aircraft that entered service in 2007. Thanks to its cost-effectiveness, modular design, and continuous upgrade capability, it has been exported to several countries, including Myanmar, Nigeria, and Argentina. While 60 delivered units may not rival the export volumes of major U.S. or Russian fighters, it represents a significant milestone for an emerging indigenous Chinese fighter. The blogger emphasized that the new Block III variant—equipped with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, advanced electronic warfare systems, and enhanced weapons compatibility—will further boost its global competitiveness. Moreover, China and Pakistan are actively promoting the JF-17 in more developing nations, with future orders expected to grow steadily. ‘Sixty units is only the start’ reflects not just confidence in the aircraft’s capabilities but also China’s ambition to expand its aerospace industry globally. This progress marks a shift in China’s high-end defense exports—from ‘Made in China’ to ‘Created in China’—gradually securing a foothold in the international defense market.
近日，军事博主‘枭龙’在社交平台上发文称：‘FC-1枭龙战斗机已畅销60架，但这只是开端。’此言迅速引发广泛关注。作为由中国和巴基斯坦联合研制的轻型多用途战斗机，枭龙（JF-17 Thunder）自2007年服役以来，凭借高性价比、模块化设计和持续升级能力，已出口至多个国家，包括缅甸、尼日利亚和阿根廷等。60架的交付数量虽不及美俄主力战机的出口规模，但对一款新兴国产战机而言，已是重要突破。博主强调，随着新一代Block III型号配备有源相控阵雷达、先进电子战系统和更强武器兼容性，枭龙的国际竞争力将进一步提升。此外，中巴两国正积极推动其在更多发展中国家的市场拓展，未来订单有望持续增长。‘60架只是起点’不仅体现了对产品性能的信心，也折射出中国航空工业走向全球市场的雄心。这一进展标志着中国高端装备出口正从‘制造’向‘智造’转型，逐步在全球防务市场占据一席之地。
