Are the 12 block 2 targeted for 2018 dual seaters ??

If they are making it that means they are. The Image is recent and is from the visit of Chinese delegation at PAC Kamra and it clearly shows JF-17B being manufactured in the back ground. So the order for JF-17B has been placed and being constructed.

If you look behind the head of Chinese ambassador the number says 01 and there is another one in the back drop on the left of the Image being manufactured. So yes they have started the production of those 12 jets.

The Image date is 19 may 2018. So first one is almost near completion and we will soon hear the News of JF-17B being inducted.

This is not the test version. Test version are not parked in the construction facility. Kamra has runway and hangers away from production facility. These are the new ones being produced. I cannot say what version is the other one it is not clear from this image. I saw the single seat produced from the image of Core Commander Peshawar visited PAC Kamra.

here look at the latest single seat being produced. This is a ready for delivery jet.

The test version has no 001 marking on the nose section.

No where it says 001 so that image is of the first being produced at Kamra.

Production of JF-17B has started at Kamra and first one is near delivery.

Here is another proof an Image of Saudis visiting PAC kamra few months early it also has a JF-17B under production in the back. Saudis have inspected the manufacturing of JF-17B twice this means Saudis are interested in the Jet.

This is image of the second jet in the first Image.

This is a month older Image there are no landing gear and tail installed but in the recent Image they have been installed. So yes we are producing those 12 that had been ordered.

We already have full rights on the airplane.. we can build a golden toilet in it and paint the airplane pink.

We share production due to current lack lf equipment to produce all fuselage sections(with the required material) otherwise we have the right to build 100% of it.

The same goes for avionics, some of them are sourced from other countries as we do not have the capability to produce our own.

Otherwise, if it was a question of just rights and we had all the capability; we could produce 100% of the JF-17.

"Being Produced" are normally painted yellow, not the grey final paint scheme, besides serial number 01 points to the first prototype produced in china. the unit in pic looks like a complete unit.

It is yellow in the intial stage but here it is beyond that stage you can see the avionic equipment already and seats there that means it is in the final stage. I cannot say what this actually is because it is only an image and all we can do is assess from it.

 

[Thorough Pro]

The grey paint comes on only after the flight tests are completed and jet is ready for delivery. If it is painted grey, then it is not under construction. May be opened up for inspection/learning/training

Now this image below says other wise. The jet is in grey paint

 

[Thorough Pro]

It does not prove it is being constructed. Probably routine checkup/inspection or maybe repair who knows?

Now this image below says other wise. The jet is in grey paint
