Pakistan Sends First JF-17C Fighter Jets to Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan has received its first batch of JF-17C (Block-III) multirole fighter jets from Pakistan in a landmark ceremony at Heydar Aliyev International Airport, attended by President Ilham Aliyev. Developed jointly by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation, these advanced jets are a significant boost to Azerbaijan’s military capabilities. The JF-17C jets, known for their exceptional maneuverability and versatility in both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, can operate in all weather conditions, making them a valuable asset for Azerbaijan’s Air Force. The exact number of jets and the deal’s value remain undisclosed, though it’s part of a broader $1.6 billion defense agreement. This delivery is expected to further strengthen military ties between Pakistan and Azerbaijan, reinforcing their ongoing defense cooperation following President Aliyev’s recent visit to Pakistan
