Notify PAF Aircraft Crashes

Afaik I haven’t seen evidence to suggest it’s a new seat, from my own research I couldn’t conclude due to the lack of images of the cockpit, if someone has high res images I can confrim the seat type for you.
 
A Pakistan Air Force JF-17B aircraft crashed late last week on a training mission near Attock. Both aircrew ejected successfully from the twin seat aircraft using PK16LE Ejection Seats.

I'm glad both guys are alive & safe. Yes, we lost a bird, but those machines can be replaced at some point.

We've discussed the sh!t out of this incident & requesting everyone to stop posting here - atleast until we have another* incident.

*Praying it won't be anytime soon.
 
There will be parallel sub-assemblies for the two variants. That's how you produce both A and B versions for a single order.
Ok, thank you much appreciated. As I wasn't aware that PAC was running two assembly lines and since Block B production has ended for now thus my question.

You misunderstood me. There aren't two assembly lines anywhere. It's a single assembly line with nodes (sub assemblies or "sub-processes") that are either agile enough (adaptable to both models), common to both models, or go off in parallel to join again later. It's two different versions of the same aircraft, not two different aircraft. The commonalities between them extend to their production as well. It's also how a single assembly line for a car, say the Honda Civic, produces different trims, options, and models (hatchback or notchback) for the same car.

An assembly line can look as non-linear as this,
