When 2P-21 was at the flight test station 2P-27 was at the wing press jig in September
So if 2P-33 is at the flight test then we probably have 2P-39 or even 2P-40 at the structure build up assembly stage
This means they will complete Block II production for sure in 2017 they are going so fast man
Next year we could see a pause before starting Block III in 2019
Simply amazing

JF17 numbers for the first time have overtaken the F16 numbers
Total JF17 so far 83
Total F16 at 76
We still have 15 MLU kits though

But I'm surprised that they still don't have the IFR-probe ??? .. wasn't it the original plan from 2-26 on to equip them all ?
And where is the twin-seater JF-17B ?? ... and when will we see the first export JF-17 in full colours ??
Questions over questions.

Installed with but not fitted with IFR probe
My guess is the PAF will install probes dependent on squadron assignments
J17B is definitely close it's a done deal it's under build and PAF is going to take it
Prouduction launch ceremony April 27th 2016
As for exports these things take years but JF17 is actually moving very fast
How long did F16 C/D Block 52+ take before entry into PAF? 8 or 9 years !!! That from a very matured Lockheed production line
Add to that the ever increasing operating envelope air, ground and sea

it was planned from 229 onward ..... but it is in plug & play configuration like it will be installed when needed .... dependent on mission profile ....
