A Birdie tells me this is just the introductory purchase, as Nigeria is keen on Block-3 variant.

According to the author.


POINTS TO PONDER

* This startup haul of JF17 Block 2 jets is almost certainly a precursor to the main haul of JF17 Block 3

 

[Maarkhoor]

JF-17 is a complete success story, we should negotiate with Russia for licence production of engine with possible up gradation for more power smokeless variant.

I also read this just an hour ago. this is certainly a good news and confirms the first export order as well for Thunder while Mushak has got itself another customer

The first order will be an icebreaker. It is only a matter of time.

The first orders are already in the bag, hence the announcement to increase production at PAC.

Huge and delightful news indeed!

So

20 Air crafts for Sri Lanka including 10 Jf17.
13 Air Crafts for Nigeria including 3 Jf17 with option of more.

I knew that among four confirmed order one was of Sri Lanka and One was of Nigeria.

Many countries are waiting for Twin Seater aka Jf17b. Once it will be out many new orders will follow. Also countries like Egypt, Turkey are interested in Block 3. So the real Thing is yet to come .................. Imagine Jf17 Blk3 flying in Turkish and Egyptian paint job with Enigma of their air forces..... ......... Its matter of pride for us

 

[Stannis Baratheon]

First 3 is mostly for evaluation and if they like it, they might make orders for more.

 

[Force Awakens]

A blog?????
Anyways the comments on the blog post itself say that it is still rumours.

First 3 is mostly for evaluation and if they like it, they might make orders for more.

And if they don't like it, then they would demand their money back.
No my friend, things don't work that way in the defence sector, no military acquires samples to taste.
Nigeria has already had a good look at the JF-17 in Pakistan.
