Oh wow nice to see advanced units under production are these taken from a brochure they look like scans??

Also which documentary?? Looks like 0213 was sent to China from Pakistan for foreign export order

Either way great shots !!

If they have produced 12 units by mid year they could deliver more than 24 units before this year is out that would make it the largest production since 2010 which was 16 units

0213 has me thinking that it could be 2P13, this unit first took off in Jan 2015 like 6 months ago did they already manufacture 13 units and these are old pictures ?? And that by now we have like 24 built

If true that means PAC has really turned on the style

Maybe they knew of the export order a while back and ramped up the production ahead of deliverys to PAF and export customer

That means we have total around 63 units.... BLK 1 (50 units) & BLK 2 (13 units)....

But 213 (2P13) has no external fuel probe...

Documentary? which language? I wanna see it.

Not completely sure if indeed already 13 Block 2 aircraft were finished (ready to deliver) but I agree that it sounds reasonable to assume that 0213 = 2P13. I'm also almost sure that if there was indeed a deal in the final stages of negotiations behind, then production could indeed be ramped up. Even more wasn't 0213 mentioned to test an uprated onboard-environmental system for a potential customer in Asia ??
Anyway IMO it could also be that they - why I don't know - choose esp. 2P13 to be first aircraft to this standard and finished it earlier than the other aircrafts.

That means we have total around 63 units.... BLK 1 (50 units) & BLK 2 (13 units)....

Yes, but that was already mentioned that the IFR-probe would be fitted only from a later number (24 I think?).

yes these are scans from a brochure. 0213 was manufactured at PAC and then flown to China for some tests
