Any idea how many PAF block-2 Bravos have been/are transferred to the Azeri Air Force?

Could the transfer be on lease or they're likely to be permanent, sold articles?

Out of the 26 Bravos that were built, one had crashed (20-614). How many could/would Azerbaijan possibly need for a total fleet of 40 JF-17 Thunders?

PAF's current fleet size = 152
(Original requirement was to have a fleet of 150).

Operator​	Block​	Type​	Quantity​	Crashed​	Sold​
Pakistan Air Force​	Block-1​	Alpha​	50​	1​	0​
Pakistan Air Force​	Block-2​	Alpha​	59​	2​	0​
Pakistan Air Force​	Block-2​	Bravo​	26​	1​	2​
Pakistan Air Force​	Block-3​	Alpha​	23​	0​	0​
Total​	-​	-​	158​	4​	2​

New? So not from PAF's existing fleet of B models?

Actually that bravo is from PAF's existing fleet. PAF 20-613 > AAF 20-513
I'm assuming here this is a training unit transfer until Azeri Jeffs are ready. I'm not sure if Bravo block 3 has gone into production but someone more knowledgeable here can answer that question

Old.

PAF's 20-615 re-numbered as Azeri 20-515.

Same with PAF's 20-613 re-numbered as Azeri 20-513.
