From 2009 to the end of 2013, the RAS in Camra collected 42 JF-17 Block 1 fighters from the Chinese vehicle kits for the Pakistan Air Force. In May 2011, the Pakistan Air Force signed a contract with CAC and RAS to receive 50 modified JF-17 Block 2 fighters, supplemented in 2016 by an additional 12 JF-17 Block 2. The delivery of Block 2 aircraft to Kamra was launched in 2015. In addition, in 2015 Pakistan received the first export contract for six JF-17 Block 2 fighters from the Myanmar Air Force, and in 2017 at least three planes were ordered by Nigeria.
As a result, as of the above-mentioned news, 58 Block 2 fighters out of 71 ordered ones have already been built (in the number ordered, six contracted for Myanmar and three for Nigeria, the first cars for Myanmar were built in 2017). The annual production level of the JF-17 in the RAS in 2017 exceeded 20 cars.
To date, JF-17 fighters are equipped with four Pakistani air force squadrons: the 16th and 26th squadrons (Block 1 planes, both deployed at Peshawar airbase), and the 2nd and 14th squadrons (Block 2 airplanes, Minas airbase / Kamra). In addition, JF-17 aircraft are also used in the Combat Commanders School (CCS) of the Pakistan Air Force at the Mushaf airbase. It is assumed that in early 2018, the JF-17 Block 2 of the 2017 release will re-equip the 7th Squadron stationed at the Masrur airbase and is now equipped with former Australian fighters Dassault Mirage IIIO.

In total, so far, the RAS company has assembled 100 JF-17
(FC-1) fighters of joint Sino-Pakistani production. The JF-17 (FC-1)
fighter was created as part of a joint Chinese-Pakistani program carried out by
the Chengdu Aircraft Industries Company (Group) (CAC) in Chengdu and the
Pakistani Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC). Initially, Pakistan
received six flight prototypes and eight pre-production JF-17 fighters (in
2006-2008), all of which were assembled by the Chinese CAC in Chengdu.
