Are those pictures in Chengdu or Pakistan?

And even blk 2 is getting AESA ugrades?! Nice!!! That's quick work. Am I to understand that blk 3 is receiving a different type of AESA? That's two different types of AESAs in PAF already. Or is this air cooled unit going on blk 3 as well?

These are at Kamra

but I am not sure if they are using ASEA because as per the information from CAS he said 26 x JF17B split over 3 year production along with Block III

which would give 50+ 26= 76 x ASEA fighters

since block III is not operational how can they for AESA on JF17B? Since AESA was cause of the delay

also it says 2P which means block II not block iii

we will have to wait and see

12 x JF17 block II in 2019

and so far 19-601 to 19-603 in grey

And so far 2P is labelled as 4th

so it means 2P-664 is 1st in PAC

which also means 2P-671 is 8th or 11th overall

my post from PDF

btw 19-602 just had refuelling probe fitted in Sep/Oct 2019 is at PAC not CAC

19-604 is in grey camo so 2P-68 would mean 8th overall and 2P-72 is last for 2019 as per 8 unit order as we have seen already 2P-71

17-601
19-602
19-603
19-604

and now

2P-65
2P-66
2P-67
2P-68 marked 4th
2P-69
2P-70
2P-71
2P-72

so infact we have 12 units not 8 of JF17B Block II since 2P donates Block II not Block III, so this is not AESA
