For BVR combat, yes

Sir what else we will have in future's aerial combat ...do you think IAF /PAF will come close to face each other in close combat (conventional dogfight)? no chance. So future is in BVRs

I still believe that in Ind/Pak scenario, WVR still matters A LOT. IRST/EOTS should be given preference and relative WVR AAMs as well as HMD/S.

Just open up the map and look how close some of our FOBs are relative to their’s as well as IB/LOC

BUT THEN,
We are Taking OFF-Topic

Why not take it to PAF thread and keep this one for Block 3 ONLY...

It's good knowing that there's a Cessna 208 in Africa using an HMD/S (Scorpion HMCS) before the JF-17 ...

... Block III's are being built at PAC as we speak. I'm not sure about the stock of radars, or engine deliveries since all this is top secret. However, we all will be taken by a surprise when PAF rolls out multiple airframes of Block III at once just like JF-17B's. ...

Thanks. Can we expect the Block-3 to be publically unveiled before 2021?

As for yearly capacity, we are actually short on capacity. Nigerian and Mymaar's order has slowed down PAF's deliveries. Thanks to JF-17B, the single seater Block III had a hard time finding jigs at the final assembly of AMF.

Is PAF looking to increase capacity or is it not feasible?

According to PAF official statements, two JF-17 Block III are planned to be inducted in 2020.

So wait and see.

They will be "produced" in 2020. Nothing has been said as of yet when they'll be inducted.
