The size of the initial order, however, has been determined and the exports to Azerbaijan will be realised in the near future, according to the Azeri-Press Agency.
The JF-17 Thunder is a lightweight, single-engine, multi-role combat aircraft jointly developed by China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industries Corporation (CAC), the PAF and PAC.
The aircraft offers better manoeuvring capabilities than the Azerbaijan Air Force’s MiG-29 fighter and will increase the air force’s combativeness.
Meanwhile, PAC intends to develop a Block-2 version of the JF-17 with an advanced e-war system and additional weapons.
