this thread has been quite probably in part due to the lack of activity from PAC
however we think that 30 x JF-17 Block 3 (roughly the highest serial was 22-322) were produced by late 2023/2024 before they started the production for export orders
since Pakistan has the worst marketing team its amazing that exports have been secured probably in part due to the help of the Chinese
anyways here's the latest information on the 7 x JF-17 Squadrons
31st Wing No.28 Squadron operates mix of JF-17 Block 1and 2
32nd Wing No.2 Squadron operates JF-17 Block 2
32nd Wing No.8 Squadron operates JF-17 Block3
33rd Wing No.16 Squadron operates mix of JF-17 Block1, 2 ,3 and Twin seater JF17-B
34th Wing No.14 Squadron operates JF-17 Block 2
36th Wing No.26 Squadron operates mix JF-17 Block 1 and 2
41st Wing No.18 Squadron operates Twin Seater JF-17-B
CCS has a Squadron of JF-17 Block 1
Total 7 Squadrons + Demo
I would say that another 2-3 Squadrons can easily be absorbed stating that certainly continuation of the Block 3 production should resume after exports are done
In Total all variants and exports we are probably close to 200 units produced by PAC
