Haider,

After looking at the picture closely. I think it is real.

This is the normal formation for the fly past.

That is the PAF JF-17 low visibility paint job. All four have PAF markings under the wings and on the tail.

So these belong to a Kamra test squadron...will they be retained by Kamra, or transferred to the first operational fighter squadron?

One can see the RD-93 engine is still not smoke free when accelerating...

I was responding to the question whether these were Chinese or Pakistani to which I said the paint scheme is the low-visibility PAF scheme.

The Four or all eight probably do belong to the TEF at Kamra. I doubt test aircraft would go to operational sqns.
