JF-17B Updates, News & Discussion

[aziqbal]

12 x JF17 block II in 2019

and so far 19-601 to 19-603

And so far 2P-68B is labelled as 4th

so it means 19-604 is 1st in PAC

which also means 2P-671 is 8th or 11th overall

 

[GriffinsRule]

That's what I call camouflage now

 

[MIRauf]

Suppose to be 12 extra produced, so 62 Block II Alphas produced, ( minus 2 to replace the lost units. ) so the inventory count should be 60 Block II Alphas.

The one on the front is 47B

How can that possibly be 47B?

This is 17-247.

I think this is confirmation that:
601 = 2P-61B (Made in China)
602 = 2P-62B (Made in China)
603 = 2P-63B (Made in China)
604 = 2P-64B (Made in China)
605? = 2P-65B (Made in PAC)
606? = 2P-66B (Made in PAC)
607? = 2P-67B (Made in PAC)
608? = 2P-68B (Made in PAC) -- 4th aircraft made at PAC
609? = 2P-69B (Made in PAC)
610? = 2P-70B (Made in PAC)
611? = 2P-71B (Made in PAC)
612? = 2P-72B (Made in PAC)

@The Eagle @Pakistan Space Agency

I think 19/20-605 will be first one built at PAC.

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Was the plan for 10 or 12 additional ?

If no. 19-62 is last single seater than timeline would make sense
8Bs in 2019(we saw 71 which is 9th B i assume)

If 19-60 is last one than probably we have 11 B produced this yr

This is what it's looking like as per my humble observations.

Single Seats for 2019 = 8 or 9
18/19-256 (2P-56): Unsure if this is 2018 or 2019. No photograph available.

19-257 (2P-57) - confirmed
19-258 (2P-58) - confirmed
19-259 (2P-59) - confirmed
19-260 (2P-60)
19-261 (2P-61)
19-262 (2P-62)
19-263 (2P-63) Possible replacement for crashed 10-127?
19-264 (2P-64) Possible replacement for crashed 15-209?

Dual Seaters for 2019 = 8
19-602 (2P-65B) - confirmed, no photo for 2P-65B
19-603 (2P-66B) - confirmed, no photo for 2P-66B
19-604 (2P-67B) - confirmed, no photo for 2P-67B
19-605 (2P-68B)
19-606 (2P-69B)
19-607 (2P-70B)
19-608 (2P-71B)
19-609 (2P-72B)

Total single and dual seaters for 2019 = 16 or 17 (depending what year 256 falls under)

8 Bravos for 2019 already confirmed by the Air Chief.

If the above is correct, where does 17-601 fit in?

This is 17-247.

Sorry, it was by mistake, might be thinking something else while typing

If I am not mistaken for B version there were 2 flyable for paf one for Cac and one only as static test aircraft which never suppose to fly but go over load and other testing on ground

So 601-604 will make First 4 including static test plus another 8 in 2019

Thus Pac/paf will get 10 dual seater initially till 2019 While one belong to cac and one is non flyable
???

Reminder 16 or 18 dual seater still to come ( not sure if total order was for 26 or 28
