News: Nigeria Orders 7 more JF17s

As per this news outlet, 7 more JF17s have been ordered by Nigeria
Great news if true, Nigeria needs at least 2 squadrons to keep air threat at Boko Haram live 24/7.
What would be nice to know is the weapons package they chose. Hopefully PAF can cash in on some weapons like H2 and other guided munitions that are produced locally.

Congratulations.
 
Are we able to produce block 2s for other customers after production of block 3 have started?
Good question. We know the workshop where the structure comes together has been switched to block 3 jiggs, so interms of airframe I dont think we will be offering to build new block 2s. However, that doesnt mean the fit-out cannot be off the less expensive block-2 interms of radar, hud, MAWS and someother avionics.

Take this comment with a grain of salt since airframe FCS and computer is dependent on weight imbalances in the airframe, so swapping out the radar may effect the centre of gravity at various flight conditions..

InshAllah it will come ... no on buys 3 aircraft
 
So why did they change the jiggs of Blk-II to get ready for Blk-III ? or Blk-III jiggs can handle Blk-II ?
Right now the blk3 getting produced are in other facility rather than in the dedicated Jf17 manufacturing facility. Only a very small number of blk3 is getting produced due to testing phase. We may need to wait until we can firmly sat that they change the rigs or not. In my opinion they dont.
