Recent images (January 2023) indicated that the first 8 assembled JF-17Cs (S/N 22-30x) rolled out at PAC. A total of 50 JF-17Cs were reportedly ordered by PAF to replace the remaining F-7PGs.

Could it be that the new JKL-24 is actually related to the air-cooled LKF601E (Falcon-S7B) AESA radar by LETRI/607 institute displayed at Zhuhai 2018 and once proposed as an AESA for the JF-17 Block 3 competing with the liquid-cooled KLJ-7A offered by NRIET?
