Lovely pic.

So 626 is the highest serial number we have seen so far? How many are we planning to produce?

It's obvious these were made in Pak, "handed over by China" probably simply refers to the commercial contract.

• The induction of JF-17 aircraft will increase the potential for national defence
• The jets would also be used to train pilots

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Karma delivered 14 dual-seat JF-17 aircraft to Pakistan Air Force (PAF), local media reported on Wednesday. The jets would also be used for pilots’ training.

As per details, the induction of JF-17 aircraft will increase the potential for national defence.
The Chinese-designed dual-seat fighter jet produced jointly by Pakistan will be inducted into PAF’s fleet during a ceremony today.

Earlier, China ramped up production of JF-17 fighter jet, which was jointly developed with Pakistan. In the first half of 2020, the number of aircraft delivered was the most in the past five years, according to industry reports.

The production line of the JF-17 has on average shortened the production period of a single aircraft by 15 days compared to last year. The Pakistani Air Force is the main operator of JF-17 fighter jets. Myanmar also flies the Chinese-Pakistani made fighter jets.

The latest, powered-up version of the JF-17, known as the JF-17 Block 3, made its maiden flight in December 2019, the Aerospace Knowledge magazine reported then.

Speaking during the induction ceremony, Chinese Ambassador Nong Rong said that China congratulates Pakistan for the 17th Block-II Dual Seat joining its air defense fleet.
“Pakistan Air Force Block III is a very important project,” he said, adding “Cooperation in defense production is an example of our friendship.”
Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan also informed of the inclusion of the dual-seat JF-17 aircraft in the air force's fleet.
The air chief thanked China for helping Pakistan in achieving this milestone.
Despite its meager defense budget, Pakistan's Kamra Complex has delivered more than 100 home-made JF-17 Block One and Block Two aircraft to the Pakistan Air Force since November 2009.
In the recent Pak-India tensions, this aircraft played an important role in the national defense by shooting down two superior Indian technology aircraft along the Line of Control (LoC).

This is a beautiful and capable plane for trainer role and can be used as fighter as well, I hope Malaysia buy it. While my country is difficult to buy it since it is a join development with China. We never buy aircraft, helicopter, ships from China due to the reason China is still seen as possible threat in the future.
