According to a press release by the Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) Directorate General of Public Relations (DGPR), Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a “friendly country for the procurement of the JF-17 Thunder, marking another significant milestone in Pakistan’s expanding defence industrial partnerships.”
The MoU was announced at the 2025 Dubai Air Show, where two JF-17C Block-3 aircraft were sent as static displays.
If finalized, this deal would be the second recent JF-17 export order, following a potential 40-unit sale to Azerbaijan signed in 2024. The PAF DGPR did not disclose the customer, but it is known that the PAF was promoting the JF-17 to several countries in recent years, including Bangladesh and Iraq.
