JF-17 Thunder Serial Number Pictorial Collection

7 sqn per oc 14 @8:50
2,14,16,26,28,ccs plus 7th being raised in process

PAF will never disclose squadron strengths. We only assume that the standard is 18, but squadron strength has varied from 12 to 20 depending on its role.

50 block I less 2 lost to accidents
50 block II plus additional 12 ordered and under testing at Kamra. Not designated to any squadron.
So actual are 48+50 =98 aircraft.
5 squadrons raised @ 16 per squadron = 80 aircraft.
1 CSS squadron = 16.
Demo team = 2.
Total 98.
Squadron strength keeps changing based on requirements.

ok now math adds up

near future included 6 fighter squadrons for blk 1 and 2 == 96 examples
plus 10 for CCS
plus 2 demo
plus 2 Test, Eval and integration

total == 110 (48 blk1, 50 blk2, 12 additional blk2)

I think the lost 1 block I and 1 block II jet but I think that doesnt matter as they have all been bought up to the block II standard anyways
