Xiaolong fighter is China and Pakistan in the past few years in the military field of one of the most classic cooperation projects, this fighter effective to make up for the Pakistani Air Force advanced fighter shortcomings, so that with the Indian Air Force three generations of fighters can fight against the same generation. At present, this fighter has developed JF-17, block2 and block3 three versions, of which the latest block3 version is about to dress up more advanced airborne phased array radar, its performance is quite advanced.

And before China's exports to the Pakistani iron-5 fighters, F-6 and F-7 fighters, Xiaolong fighter is a joint development of China and Pakistan, a fighter. This kind of cooperation is equivalent to helping to build a complete fighter research and development production system, which is better than the transfer of a way of cooperation than a separate transfer of a production line much stronger.

Has a fighter independent research and development capabilities of the Pakistani iron, can be in China's assistance, according to their own defense needs, tailored for their own fighter, and can be based on their own needs to rapidly expand production, without having to wait for China's research and development Unit project development and production, so that can save a lot of unnecessary link

It will probably happen, now that Burma is already a customer. The more China sells FC-1, the more congratulations the JF-17 program will get.
 
Nothing to do with Burma but in generally good thing even Burma need another sqn at least to replace remaining a/c as well they had 2 f7 and another one or 2 a5 sqn not sure about Azari deal but they are influenced by Turks example mashaq buy

It all depends on whether one prefers image over substance or vice versa. Both are happy compromises. :D

Exchanging patches amongst fighter pilots is quite a normal thing and if they were to go for official training they will be sent to the JF-17 OCU to Pakistan before being sent to China for being involved with the aircraft delivery. I think the pilot in the picture had a patch exchanged to him. Otherwise I have seen PAF Viper drivers (not riders) sporting Eagle and Hornet patches, but that does not mean they are training on those platforms.
