I am surprise the level of access provided to a journalist team who seems to have no knowledge about the subject nor it appear that they had done their homework ..... camera work & irrelevant & less important questions .... really I am surprise & want to bang my head with wall ......

@Sulman Badshah What RUBY stands for ?

And I think PAF has slowed down its own induction rate this year for Nigerian and Myanmar export orders. We have been hearing 70 (- 2 crashed) JF in PAF. since start of this year instead of 75 or 80 JF . Then it means Pakistan is sacrificing their orders this year.

Myanmar Airforce named their version as Ruby & this was confirmed by their official at Zuhai Airshow (2016) .... there was a link posted at this thread .... or at Zuhai Airshow thread

RUBY is named given to Myanmar Airforce JF 17 .....

Its was at jig where front fuselage was mated with central fuselage ....
 
The planes belonging to the Ruby nomenclature, are they part of the 2PXX series shown in the pics shared by @HRK or are separate?

For sure at this pace Block II production will be completed in next year

They built 16 last year and I expect 16 this year

They may have ramped up production for Nigeria and Myanmar but PAC can pop 25-30 units if finances allow

So I don't think PAF order book will slow
