Pakistan’s military has indicated that a deal to sell its domestically produced JF-17 fighter jets to Bangladesh could be finalized soon. The development followed a meeting between the air chiefs of both countries, where Bangladesh reportedly sought Pakistan’s assistance in upgrading its aging defense radar systems and equipment. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said the Bangladeshi Air Force chief praised Pakistan’s combat achievements, and discussions also covered the expedited delivery of Super Mushshak training aircraft.
The JF-17 Thunder, jointly developed by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and China’s Chengdu Aircraft Corporation, is a lightweight, multi-role fighter jet designed for all-weather operations. It has already been purchased by Myanmar, Nigeria, and Azerbaijan. Analysts cited in the report said the aircraft’s affordability—estimated at 25 to 30 million dollars per unit—and its proven combat performance have increased its appeal among countries with limited defense budgets.
While Pakistan has not yet confirmed any formal contracts with Bangladesh, Libya, or Saudi Arabia, observers noted that Dhaka’s interest marks a shift in its approach toward Islamabad since 2024, potentially signaling a broader strategic partnership between the two nations.
