Pakistan Army has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with a “friendly country” for the procurement of its JF-17 fighter jets, which were used to down Indian warplanes, including Rafales, during four-day skirmishes in May. Without revealing the name of the buyer, it said in a statement that the MoU “was signed with a friendly country for the procurement of the JF-17 Thunder, marking another significant milestone in Pakistan’s expanding defence and industrial partnerships.” The agreement was concluded on the sidelines of the Dubai Airshow 2025 in the United Arab Emirates, where a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) contingent is participating.
