Guys, I need some help ... as far as I remember in the old forum there was once a thread likely named "jf17-6 and jf20 are self made models for military enthusiasts" showing these well-known and often claimed as JF-17 Block 4 + or whatever models but it was built by a Chinese modeller:

https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/jf17-6-and-jf20-are-self-made-models-for-military-enthusiasts.594338/

I think it even included an interview said Chinese enthusiast.

Does anyone know if it or the original report is still available?

I tried searching for information on the Chinese internet. Many links were broken, and there wasn't much accurate or reliable information.

Based on the available information, my summary is as follows(This is not my opinion, but simply a summary of the information I was able to find.):

These models in the photos are very likely from within CAC (Chengdu Aircraft Corporation), not from general military enthusiasts.
CAC developed three different single-engine stealth fighter jet designs for the international export market. From left to right in the image, they are: JF-20, JF-17.7, and JF-17.6.



These were early explorations by CAC into the international foreign trade market, and they did not actually initiate any research and development plans for these projects. This plan was terminated a long time ago.

This is a blurry old photograph. However, we can see that the scene is typical of an internal meeting style in a state-owned enterprise. The LED screen in the scene displays English text, indicating that there are foreign clients among the attendees.

Information about them was initially posted on a well-known Chinese military forum. However, that forum has been permanently shut down. I am unable to trace the original information. Most of the existing information comes from unreliable sources and self-proclaimed experts, and is therefore not very credible.

By the flags, it implies 2 more counties apart from Azeris and Iraqis

 

[hasssanali8998]

Iraqis

none of those flags are iraqi , iraq is one of the question marks

nigeria , myanmar , azerbaijan

looks like someone failed geography

supposedly two new countries ordered jf17 Iraq being one of them , i dont know about the other country
