pls post a picture if u are so sure??
and production started in 2009??
@16 per year it should have been 80

i would not de rail this thread go to JFT thread and post these comments you will get your answer
time line: serial production started on 30th jan 2009
that puts the production at approx 12 per year on average considering it slowed last year for obvious reason of work on 2 block production.
picture is already posted in JF-17 thread in video made they show serial 146 in final moments then there is interview in jane saying that last few are in "final" stages of testing.

its not about hiding, its about attitude.
In Pakistan military doesnt parade about any deals nor the media glorify them. even if you find news its just in end of a small corner of the paper. You dont see any updates on their websites either..
PAC did release a few video on VEMO that shows for the first time the details of JFT production.
PAF head interview on janes published in MAY quotes that static ground testing for block2 has been completed and aerial testing would happen this summer. so we may see block 2 production next year or late this year. squardons require extensive testing and more importantly pilots and ground crew. PAF was in hurry for the first two squardons due to retirement of Q-5(mig 19) but isnt in so much hurry now. The interview also quote that JFT production is with pace of retirements of each squardon old aircrafts. so production did slowed from ideal rate but in aircraft production this is a routine. even a much more extensive,capable and experienced HAL showed delays in su 30MKI assembling.

on last note what is the confirm order of LCA 1. we are getting numbers from 40 to 200?
