Serial numbers 3000 and 3001 were prototypes
3P01 to 3P11 are production units
3P01 to 3P03 are not visible, being the first three as also seen in a tv program in September 2021, they are probably already in the military paint scheme.
3P04 to 3P11 are visible in the pics released a couple of days ago
3P12 to 3P14 or possibly 3P18 would be rolled out by the time the handing over ceremony takes place on March 23rd.

Beyond the jingoistic "yeh humnay khud banaya hai" claims, the JF-17 is a nifty little wonder. I just happened to come across a photo of it carrying 2 standoff attack munitions and that made me realize that there has been nothing more liberating (even the nuclear tests had their fair share of issues) for Pakistan as this platform. I think back on how it has evolved and the types of capabilities it affords the PAF which were essentially a pipe dream even a decade ago. You look at the load-out, avionics and the numbers in which this aircraft is entering service in the PAF and honestly, this has been a godsend both qualitatively and also quantitatively.

Despite its limitations, all platforms have them, and without having a western pedigree, it has its own panache and nobody can take that away from the JF-17 and the PAF. Well done ladies and gents of the PAF/PAC/CATIC!

PAF's JF-17 achievement is best understood from a differential treatment of India's Tejas failure.....
 
Ohhh what a beauty looks so natural and beautiful it looks awesome in this colour scheme, it’s a shame that the picture is not clearer .
How ever JF17 forever ..❤
Thanks. Because of canvas size could not scan.
