These were actually produced in Pakistan.

Hafr, it was also exported to Azerbaijan, couple of years back.

I don't know why didn't they try implementing CFTs on JFT even in Block III. There aren't many hardpoints available and fuel tanks , in a strike role, take up to three of them, leaving not enough space for omnirole capabilities.

Not a lot of impressive hardware on display at Dubai. Somehow showing that either Jeff still cant exploit the full range of PL-15E (Which seems implausible since KLJ-7A AESA is also expected to the mainstay of upcoming J-35) or PL-15E is an exclusive offer for J-10C. Likewise for PL-10E offering HOBS capability also missing despite Jeff having an HMD. SPJ,EW, SEAD. Smart Munitions and SoWs also missing from the display.

Same old boring routines. Does not compare with some of the solo aerobatics I have seen from other air forces or even PAFs F16s . Not impressed at all. No aeleron roles, no loops. The high alpha was not really high alpha . It has improved though but not there yet to impress a global audience
