What the news? We all know that production of block 2 will continue until block 3 is ready. Also, block 3 mock-up will be build in 2019 and possible production/training/formal induction will be between 2020 to 2022.

It would be worth reading if PAF purchase J-10C or J-11xxx series.

It is news for the OP of course.

Any difference in airframe of block 3 did paf enhanced its range of flying and teacking and which new engine selected for blk 3

 

[CHACHA"G"]

what this news mean by To ADD ????????????? Are we don't have them yet?????????????? What PAF is flying then ??????? I am confused .

 

[aziqbal]

Total nonsense

 

[denel]

This means 100 jf-17 blk2 in total then switch over to blk 3.

When i read the details in the attached link; a lot of bogus info at the end of the report.

 

[MIRauf]

Don't think Block-II will go beyond 62/68 for PAF, unless Block-III in large numbers is cost prohibitive and Block-II with Air-Cooled AESA makes better sense for PAF Procurement / Operations Cost.

Production line will not be closed..block 2 will be produced till b3 complete testing

What is this site and source for this ?

Last time it was 12 new block 2 in 2018 and 50 block 3 starting 2019/20-2021/22ish official pac news via Jane’s etc so much reliable

Actually of the 50 block 3, 28 were to be dual seaters and rest single seaters

 

[syed_yusuf]

There were news of 12 new blk2 for 2018 and another 14 for 2019 till 50 blk 3 start rolling out in 2020/ 21 and 22

if the news is correct then 176 single seat JFT by 2022 plus may be another 36 twin seat JFT
