In this video i count at least Five aircraft fitted with IFR Probes.
No air arm would allow its own needs to be superceded y export order. At the time of order placement vendor is told of expected delivery time. Everything is planned according to a schedule. So the air rafts will roll off the assembly line as per schedule.If I was in PAC's shoes, I would push out the Myanmar and Nigerian aircraft as soon as possible to get more exposure and attention. Also get the JF-17B up and flying. But hey, I am not in their board of directors

I suspect it boils down to their needs vs ours. We need updating of our inventory urgently. If their need surpasses ours we will have to make that choice. They will have to pay a premium though.Maybe you are right Araz. But that also depends a bit on the priorities of the manufacturer too (and how 'desperate' they are for a first export customer). Britain diverted Eurofighter Typhoons intended for the RAF (and Germany from the Luftwaffe order) to Austria to be able to claim an export order for the type. Dassault did the same to get the first three Rafales to Egypt in time.
As long as there are no exports, the domestic market will surely prevail. But if the demand rises, such discussions will likely take place. Imagine what you would do if the Emir of Qatar says he wants 12 JF-17 in time to participate in the 18 December 2017 National Day parade and is willing to pay for that?
In that respect, I wish PAC lots of tough choices
JF 17 Dual SeaterWhat is fc 1ds
Had first look at FC-1 DS undergoing static testing, looks pretty similar to mirage-2000 D. Impressive cockpit display.
