How come CAC is assembling JF-17. I thought all JF-17 get assembled in Pakistan and China only provided components.

It‘s the very first prototype and as such the original claim „CCTV shows the "latest block 3" of the JF-17 wearing yellow primer in CAC“ is just wrong! So far CAC built all first prototypes and tested them at CAC.

"We're extremely excited to announce that the Pakistan Air Force will be bringing their new JF-17 Thunder (Block III) jets to RIAT for the first time! These indigenous fighter jets have only been seen in the UK once before (back in 2010) so will be a highlight of the static display for aviation enthusiasts. There will be a pair of JF-17s, both from 8 Squadron, parked alongside a C-130E Hercules from 6 Squadron. The Pakistan Air Force's deployment to the UK will be supported by an IL-78 tanker, however, this jet from 10 Squadron won't be joining the static display."

Alan warnes, A renowned journalist and author at Airforces Monthly (dunno if he still is) has claimed that one of the Thunder bird is differently painted (suggesting a new kill mark post Ind-Pak conflict).

Let’s see what we get to see
