Given blk 3 is going to be the mainstay, the decision to have only 50 units is not easy to understand. These too, will arrive at the end of 2024 (complete arrival).It's still a relatively big jump, e.g., three-axis fly-by-wire, AESA radar, increase payload, etc. So, even though there are limited structural changes, the few changes they made require a lot of testing. That said, besides its range and payload limits, the Block-3 is a soundly modern fighter, it has all of the contemporary technologies you need.
Well, the JF-17B is basically a twin-seat Block-3, so it's actually 76 planes (26 Bs + 50 B3s). That said, the PAF's official book for 1999-2009 stated that it could go for up to 270 JF-17s in the end. I'd simply expect another batch after Block-3 -- either more B3s or perhaps a B4, B5, etc.Given blk 3 is going to be the mainstay, the decision to have only 50 units is not easy to understand.

It means 5 years from now, we have only 50 blk3s. Given the uncertainity with F16s, their upgradation to V standards and the arrival of new ones, the only modern addition we can always be sure of is blk3.
Given that blk3s will be ordered from China, why don't we order more?
So JF 17 B have which AESA radar?Well, the JF-17B is basically a twin-seat Block-3, so it's actually 76 planes (26 Bs + 50 B3s).

No B version don't have any AESA radar but pulse Doppler or Mechanical scan array radar @Syed Hammad AhmedSo JF 17 B have which AESA radar?
So how they are block 3?No B version don't have any AESA radar but pulse Doppler or Mechanical scan array radar @Syed Hammad Ahmed

Block -3 will be single seat, this one has two seats, advance trainer, strike jet etc etc @Syed Hammad AhmedSo how they are block 3?

i think B version can be fitted with AESA radarWithout AESA, how can JF-17B be an equivalent to blk3?
AESA can always be retrofitted as there appear to be plans to retrofit the whole fleet of JFTs with an AESA. This would also point to local production at the avionics suite. However we do need a few Bs now to test and evaluate their Future role in PAF. Whether they remain as trainers or have an evolved role and to what extent we can exploit them and expand the role they play. If the role is satisfactory we may yet see more Bs joining PAF.Without AESA, how can JF-17B be an equivalent to blk3?
