Just Google it. You will see. Though the number are varying from 8 to 12, it will come in two batches with six each.
But your defence attache in Yangon will confrim it because Myanmar Airfoce Chief already confirmed in a press conference.

Will all components for assembly (after first 3) originate from China as well?

first replace all 24 f-7 and 19 A-5.. so totally we need at least 40 JF-17 just for replacing old ones.
i dont think its size will increase. just making modernized Air force. bro

according to IHS Jane , we're seeking block 3 assembly line. but still in negotiation..

• 2S1 SP Gun

2 x Ming Class

we should seek the another options which are more modernized. 2S1 SP Guns are replacing with new ones in India..

I am aware that it is reported that Myanmar is in negotiations for BLK-III local assembly as well but what I was trying to understand that your current order of BLK-II is for 16 aircraft some of them was under manufacturing in PAC Kamra in Pakistan we even have pics of 3 examples of RUBY air frame under manufacturing in our facility from September last year (must be completed till now); so it does not seem Myanmar will seek a whole Assembly line only for 24 BLK-III (expected target 40 aircraft less current order of 16), either you people have plan to increase the size of Air force in mid to long term basis or reported source is exaggerating.

Anyway have a nice day & keep us update about the development related to this deal from local media of Myanmar .... thnx in advance...

2S1 are locally assembled with new guns on new chassis. Not the old ones from eastern bloc.
They also have advanced fire control systems.

most possibility is getting 16 planes would be checking the plane's ability. if the result is satisfactory , we will order more 16 block 2 to fulfill our need. at the time , developing block 3 will be finished.. so i think the assembly line for block 3 means local upgrading facility for existing block 2 to upgrade to block 3.. when will block 3 introduce to PAF..? bro
