BS reporting by ARY. Why would china hand over to PAF when they were actually built at PAC.

Possibly either to offset capacity constraints at PAC or because PAC has already replaced the assembly jigs for the B-variant to the new block 3 A's to ramp up block 3 production quickly in the coming days.

We have in the past also received completely built units (CBU) from china to assist PAF in making up numbers quickly, so this precedence already exists.

as usual rubbish reporting, lets wait for the ceremony clips.

Bull shiit reporting

it seems, may be Block B planned production is done, full production facility will be dedicated to block III probably.

 

[Deino]

And even more why again starting a new thread when we already have a dedicated one for the JF-17B even more purely based on a strange report?

 

[Fighting Falcon 01]

Let's wait for official news from PAF it'll clear everything this tumba is butt hurt and laughing because they could only assemble 8 tejas in a year and we have 14 B units and block 3 production starting they are just showing their inferiority complex and butt ache ......

thread must be merged, but how come strange report?
do you mean the tv channel and the reporter are making a story out of nothing?

Given the few comments direct after @Zarvan 's post it seems as if it is not exactly correct since those B-models are not "handed over ... by China" but in fact manufactured by PAC. As such the whole story is a bit fishy IMO.

ofcourse true but main news is induction of block B and not who handed over what, it is understood, just poor reporting as usual.

A couple of questions. Exactly what-has been inducted. PAC has produced 8Bs. Has China sent another 14Bs to make it 26 in all? Or 14 kits have been handed over and 8 manufactured so far.
I agree with @Deino that this should be part of JFT Block Bnews thread.
