JF-17 is assembled/produced in Pakistan and FC-1 is assembled/produced in the CAC plant in China.

JF-17 is assembled/produced in Pakistan and FC-1 is assembled/produced in the CAC plant in China.

JF-17 and FC-1 is the same one.

 

[siegecrossbow]

JF-17 and FC-1 is the same one.

I know, hence why I said that designation is based on which plant it is produced in.

No, JF-17/FC-1 is produced by China-Pakistan together.

No, JF-17/FC-1 is produced by China-Pakistan together.

The ones exported to Myanmar were produced at the CAC plant exclusively. They were even equipped with Chinese ejection seat/targeting pods. Pakistan produced Jf-17s use Martin Baker and Aselpod.

Off course...

No one believed they will only have 3 planes of a type in their airforce

Why? If three are enough for their Air Force for the type of missions they're doing, they don't need to purchase more.

Of course not.

They were definitely produced at PAC under the designation: Ruby

However, they were handed over to Myanmar by China due to Rohingya issue at that time.

Not two versions. Same aircraft, only few parts changed to overcome sanctions from western countries, like British ejection seats replaced with Chinese ones in the Myanmar and Argentina models.
The name changes depending on wether China delivers them or Pakistan as China designates the same aircraft as FC-1.
Pakistan doesn’t market or deliver them to Myanmar (and won’t to Argentina) so as not to hurt it’s good relations with the UK or because of the Rohingya issue.
The aircraft are still made in Pakistan. Pakistan does market them to everyone else themselves.
