COAS visited Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra.

It's not a B it's an 8. Just look at it and what look like a B is wearing a belt. It's not a B but an 8 because a B would've had a straight line. This has a dent in the middle.

2P-718

Could it be that it is indeed a 700-number and all JF-17Bs from the first batch had 600-serials and from the second batch have numbers starting with 700?? Just a guess!

Or 2P-71B refers to 71 - 62 = 9th JF-17B (Block II) ?

As far as we know, not all 4 B versions are operational and probably 1-2 are still in production ( Right ) ? so why would PAF will open up a new batch ? but I think that is also the most likely to be true, I have a question do you know or have any calculated guess that BLK 3 tail will be similar to older bLK1/2 or more like BLK B ?

There is also name embossed on the "engine" most probably of the manufacturer. If somebody could enhance it we might be able to find which engines it is and it's specifications.

You know what? I think I agree. I was originally thinking that those were all the same parts on the jig but upon closer inspection they are definitely different parts on the jig. I count at least 12 bulkheads on one (each of a different size). No falco has that many bulkheads. I think we are seeing parts for the MALE. Great catch.

That's just he Lycoming engine for the Mushaak and its propeller.

Indeed interesting, however I think the last digit or number looks more like a "B" after the image was slightly enhanced!? What do you think?

that was not the original image as I already posted the enhanced version (twice the size of original screenshot) which fade the clarity of the pic

71-B is either 2nd or 3rd of blk-3B. Had they shown the intakes, it would be evident to all. 3Bs have slightly bigger intakes.

I think some of the footage is repeated on different News outlet.

So when it's finished, it'll look something like: 19-271?

We've already seen 2P62 (19-262).

Maybe PAF has ordered more Block-2.

PAC released a tender this past year for data-link items for the MALE UAV. So, it's in the oven, but the prototype was either delayed, or it ran into snags, or they're testing via multiple prototypes.
