This is what we know at present. There are a lot of bits of unknown information like foreign orders, local demand, upgradability of block 2, equipment and engine change/modification. So a lot more is unknown than known. What can be said and will probably be confirmed by the end of the year is...

I would add to this and ask the outer pylons are already wired for AAMs. How difficult would be wiring the inner pylons? A

I think there os a bit more to this than meets the eye. The haramkhors( just point to the lazy arsed souls of this planet rather than being specific) of this world do not spend time going around the assembly line not once but 5 times. What is the purpose? What are they talking about regarding...

There was an article suggesting capping of production at 180. However I thinl it will gp upto 250 units at least with 50 -100 units sold abroad inshaaAllah. I do not think we will stop at 30 units pf block 3 when there are indications we are evaluating RD93MA and assembling AESA Radar in house...

I would humbly suggest that to throw a M3 in todays war arena dashing in at Mach 2 would not be a good idea. The only way I see this strategy being effective if the M3 was cruising on a CAP and saw enemy approaching or were vectored to a site from where the enemy was approaching. The problem is...

Personally to my very inexpert eye, it does not make sense to have the SD10 mated to the centre belly point with the wing pylons being there. 2 SD10s on inmer wing pylons would make a lot more sense. I understand the wiring issue and I suspect (as already related by @PanzerKiel) PAF has avoided...
