Honestly I don’t think we should offer Block III for export
Keep Block II for export
Otherwise these incompetent countries will do bad advertisement for our jet
Let’s just keep the best for ourselves and we prove it where and when we want
Operational experience of the Block III overseas with Pakistani advisers will open up more chances for actual battle field experience by the jet. Should a Nigerian or Burmese Pilot crash their jet, it would have to be investigates what went wrong. If the jet came up against anything it couldn't handle, like an advanced air defense system or advanced air to air missile, then all the more reason for PAF to learn from these incidents to improve their own jet.
The knowledge gained can go into a Block IV design or an upgraded Block III design.
