Do we know what arms package Argentina is getting with its JF17s? From what I've seen it looks like PL10E only as AAM, which is a bit of a waste of an AESA radar. Not seen anything on ASM.

so looks like credible news that Block III is going to Argentina

I wonder if London will put some pressure on Islamabad for such a deal ?

I mean 4 x Typhoons on QRA from Falklands are way too far to engage

but then Block III armaments can be deadly mix of long range missiles

this is big news but a long way from being signed

personally the Max. Pakistan should offer is the Block II

Block III is not even inducted into the PAF yet

I expect 12 units of JF17A Block III to be handed over by the end of 2021 to the PAF

If real this is indeed a major news: long expected and often shown on patches and models, but never before seen on a real aircraft or confirmed, this appears to be a JF-17 Block 3 prototype carrying dual racks with two AAMs each (looks like the older PL-12 due to their longer rear-fins)
