I know about 38 operational as well as the newly produced by Kamra. They are parked there, on trials.

33 operating and more than this in store

Hi, to also add to Mr. Farhan_9909 's point. The JF-17 has already replaced the ancient A-5s, and will also replace the vintage Mirage III/Vs. The Mirages have been upgraded, but remember they are vintage 70's and use a turbojet engine.
