Combined with the growing ecosystem of weapons and sensors, a large domestic order could drive significant foreign interest in the Shahpar-III.
Last week, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) kicked off Indus Shield 2024, a large-scale multinational air exercise involving as many as 24 other countries.
On 25 September 2024, the official website of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan announced that the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) JF-17C Block-III was “integrated into the arsenal of Azerbaijan’s Air Force.”
