Karachi-based Integrated Dynamics actually exports its Border Eagle surveillance drone to the United States for border patrol duties. The company also makes drones the turbojet-powered Tornado decoy, which can fly up to 200 kilometers, and emit false radar signals to "confuse enemy air defenses into thinking they are attacking aircraft," Defense News says.

The exports will surge as some JF-17 deals are expeced to be signed soon.

IDEAS will kick off on Dec 1st and I am hoping they will announce the export launch customer. If not then definitely some fill be finalised in 2015.

If in 2002 the sale was 110 million and even now it is 110 million what does it show?

From Monday right?

Few takers for Block 1. Every one is waiting for b-2 to take a call.

Isn't the b-2 production example will be unveiled this time at IDEAS?

Actually the exports fluctuate depending on orders.I remember that a few years ago the exports shrank to $4 million only!

Block-1 was never meant to be exported. Currently we are upgrading those 49 block-1's to block-2 standards.
Yes, the block-2 will be on static display.

Post #24 is a copy past of the article mate.
I only posted the paragraph where the drone export to the US border security is mentioned.

Janes and Pakistani media have reported that seven countries are close to signing the JF-17 deal.
Personally I am expecting that Nigeria will become the launch customer followed by Iraq.

Now that the Gripen E has been denied to Argentina, we're also trying to sell them the JF-17. No media reports yet.
