Baku: Pakistan has made the biggest defense deal in its history so far. Turkey’s friend Azerbaijan has signed a deal with Pakistan to buy JF-17 fighter jets worth $1.6 billion. Azerbaijan will receive JF-17C Block 3 class fighter jets jointly developed by Pakistan and China. Under this deal, apart from fighter jets, training and weapons will also be given to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is buying this fighter jet at a time when it is continuously threatening its neighboring country Armenia. Not only this, recently Armenia had said that after almost a year of peace, Azerbaijan had killed 4 of its soldiers. To deal with Azerbaijan, Armenia is purchasing many deadly weapons including Pinaka from India.
Pakistan will give JF 17 fighter jet to Azerbaijan
Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Company manufactures this fighter aircraft. China has provided the technology of JF 17 fighter jet to Pakistan. Apart from China, this company also makes weapons with the technical help of Turkey. Pakistani company supplies arms to Myanmar, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE. This aircraft is manufactured in Kamra, Pakistan. This aircraft of Pakistan and China has become junk in Myanmar and is not even fit to fly. For this reason, the Myanmar Army had issued a stern warning to Pakistan. Myanmar’s Army Chief had even threatened.
Now Pakistan is trying to show it to other countries of the world by selling this fighter jet to its friend Azerbaijan. Pakistan has offered this aircraft to many countries in Africa and Asia but it is not finding a buyer. Talks regarding this aircraft were going on between Pakistan and Azerbaijan for the last decade. The aircraft purchased by Azerbaijan flew for the first time in December 2019. Azerbaijan has purchased drones from Turkey and Israel on a large scale and is continuously strengthening its defense preparedness.
Azerbaijan currently has MiG 29 and Sukhoi 25 fighter jets which are becoming quite old. An agreement regarding this aircraft was signed between Azerbaijan and Pakistan for the first time in 2011 but the deal was not signed. This aircraft has a Russian engine installed due to which the Putin government will also keep an eye on this deal. While Azerbaijan is continuously purchasing killer weapons, Armenia has now reached the shelter of India. India has supplied Pinaka rocket system to Armenia. Apart from this, state-of-the-art artillery has also been given to Armenia. Many more deals are under negotiation in the coming times.
