As recorded in Vayu Issue I/2021, another batch of JF-17B twin seat operational trainers were formally handed over to the PAF in late December 2020, and of the 26 such aircraft built, 14 will be operated by No.18 Squadron which is the designated Operational Conversional Unit (OCU). The other 12 aircraft have reportedly been distributed to JF-17 squadrons which are equipped with a mix of Block I and IIs.
