According to tweet Azerbaycan os going to get JF17. I assume it’s to replace su25, as they’re pretty much for same purpose. But JF17 is newer and has better specs

No they don't, JF-17 are multirole light jets with ground attack capabilities, the frogfoot are exclusively ground attack airplane which is maximized for CAS role.

JF-17 are better suited to replace the mig-29s.

Apparently it is the block 3 JF17 that the Azerbaijani airforce is interested in. This block of JF17 comes with a Chinese Aesa radar, IRST system and a Chinese helmet mounted display, plus a range of improvements taken from J20.
(Mind you, the block 2 can also be fitted with an Aesa radar if requested).

Armenia only have like 4 SU-30SM to challenger Azeri fleet of 21 JF-17s. The block III will come with Klimov's RD-93MA engine with thrust uprated to around 9300 Kgf, could possibly able the JF to reach TWR of 1.0 or more and allow the JF 17 to challenge the flankers in a dogfight. That is if the Armenian flankers manage to get into the merge.

also I think it would be more economical to operate the JF instead of MiG-29s, consider it offers the same if not more advanced capability with only one engine instead of two. Meaning more time in the air instead of sitting in hangars.
