12~14 produced at PAC, rest ToT IA
I believe EAF will run K8 model again local assembly but blk3 is a ideal platform for Eygpt to replace Mirage 5s along very early blk F16s gives 4.5 Gen capabilities with very less money same Russian engine RD93 MA what Mig 35 has no issue for maintaining along supply chain

Gents, just a theory. JF-17 Block-IV will benchmark to attain F-16 block 70/72 performance parameters. Instead of growing towards stealth, it will grow towards being the most potent non-stealth platform in its weight class.

And stretching the dots further, Project Azam will start at JF-17 Block-IV performance levels plus stealth, or additional benefits it could get because of the new design and greater range/weight carrying capacity. Thus it becomes logical to expect JF-17 Block-IV would exist as a test-bed for project Azam technologies before Azam absorbs them and evolves further.

makes sense, Block 3 being around Block 52 standard, once PAF get it's hands on the 70/72's they will want to mold their home grown baby as per their first love (Viper)
