Overview
- Pakistan’s military said the air chiefs held detailed discussions in Islamabad on potential procurement of JF-17 Thunder fighters for Bangladesh.
- ISPR said Pakistan offered fast-tracked Super Mushshak trainer deliveries plus a comprehensive training and long-term support package.
- The Bangladeshi delegation toured PAF ISR, cyber, space and electronic warfare facilities and sought support for fleet maintenance and air-defence radar integration.
- No agreement was announced and Bangladeshi authorities have not independently confirmed any decision to buy the jets.
- The engagement aligns with Pakistan’s wider push to expand JF-17 exports, including a multibillion-dollar deal with Libya, talks with Azerbaijan and Saudi loan-to-jets discussions, which officials say could bolster the economy.
