And later first PT was also having same antennas.

and now disappeared from productional aircraft.
These are same type of ECM antennas that RAFALE too have in front on its canards. I don't think these equipments can be embedded inside the aircraft b/c they have to monitor outer environment.

In the lower left part of the picture, you can see a F-7/J-7 aircraft in yellow primer paint. The question is, what is it doing there, since the J-7 production line shut down?

Last F-7BG delivered to BDAF.

Seems the J10b is now using AL31F, the engine will still be a problem until year 2015.
 
. . . .
But I am sure now some of the facts are clear that FC-20 is not the J-10B we were referring for PAF it will be the J-31 which will be similar in terms of engines to the JF-17s we have and INSHA ALLAH we will be producing it from 2017 if its being completed.
