Pakistan signs largest ever fighter jet sale deal with Azerbaijan

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex signed largest export deal in Pakistan's history with Azerbaijan Air Force, Azernews reports.

www.azernews.az

Wonder how many of them Azerbaijan ordered? I expect 16-20. Maybe 24, but it's a stretch.

Can we please wait for some official confirmation before we open the bottles of Champagne, since officially I haven‘t seen anything stating this and rumours tell us the same since almost two years …

Fake markings?

 

[yahya]

Could be, because Egypt is not yet known as the JF-17 user .

Looks more like screenshots of the DCS JF-17.

Not implausible but still a rumor.

Really? Posting CG or faked images of a contract that is reported since years without any evidence?

Even though I’m happy that the deal happened the crazy people who thought that PAF will get FC-31 by 2025 will probably use this as evidence that Deino got something wrong and propose even more outlandish claims…

So the sale of the JF-17 to Azerbaijan is now finally officially confirmed. One question that I have got though is how many will they buy?

per Huitong: "A $1.6b contract was reportedly signed between PAC and Azerbaijani AF in February 2024 including 8 JF-17Cs and 4 JF-17Bs. "

Well, we call it“枭龙”BlockⅢ

Not much. I expected at leas full regiment (24-36 planes). They bought just a squadron.

Azerbaijan confirms purchase of JF-17 fighters

That was my thinking also Anduriel, to buy enough only for a squadron seems a bit daft. Though I would think that Azerbaijan will buy more in the future.
