There is no second production line at Chengdu yet. Most of the tooling is setup at PAC, and this aircraft was also built there & then flown to China.
@ozz if there are no tooling setup in Chengdu then where was first prototype built? I thought initial batch/prototypes were built by Chengdu. May be chendgu dissembled tooling and shipped to PAC?
since China has decided not to induct JF-17 in their air froce,with the exception of 6 proto types,all future production will be done in Pakistan at Kamrah.
