A PAF JF-17 shows it's power and capability as with Two drop tanks, it pulls up vertically some half way down the runway !

Some 2Aand Bs already sport blk 3 goodies so low profile upgrades are under way. Blk 1s were pretty much upgraded to 2s except structural goodies.

JF-17 Thunder: Can Pakistan Do What Türkiye Did? - Quwa

The JF-17 Thunder could be the seed of Pakistan's aerospace industry — if the PAF follows the model Türkiye used with the F-16 to build TAI and the KAAN.

The most likely path forward for PAF is to get more JF-17 Block-3's to replace all the older Blocks as well as F-7 and Mirages. Then induct some Block-4's as a final upgrade for JF-17 and then buy more J-10's to replace older F-16 Blocks and build a sizable fleet. Finally wait for J-35's in future. There you have it.

Yes. Need atleast 50 more Block 3 before we move to block 4.

Both radars have similar performance parameters

Depends upon what the Airforce will consider the final major block.. If they deem upgrades such as an engine necessary, you will probably see higher induction for that specific block... As that is one of the major bottleneck for JF-17s' performance. you will have fo wait for the upgrade and numbers for a while then... If they are moving towards a Gripen E style upgrade then let then better spend time and money on that...
