Pakistan signs largest ever fighter jet sale deal with Azerbaijan

Pakistan Aeronautical Complex signed largest export deal in Pakistan's history with Azerbaijan Air Force, Azernews reports.
The deal for JF-17C Block-III fighter jets was signed for $1.6bn, including aircraft, training and ammunition, Pakistani media reported.
The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) is a big company that produces airplanes and other things for the military in Pakistan. It was started in 1971 by the Pakistan Air Force. They make and fix airplanes for the Pakistani military and also for other countries.
They work with companies from Turkiye and China to make some of their products. The PAC also has businesses in other countries like Myanmar, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. In the past, the Pakistan Air Force realized that they needed a place to fix their airplanes instead of sending them to other countries. So, they made a factory called the Aircraft Rebuild Factory (ARF) in Kamra.
They also made another factory called the Mirage Rebuild Factory (MRF) to fix a different kind of airplane. These factories were built with the help of experts from China and France.

Maybe this was true
The report claimed that the exercise allowed the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to test the mettle of JF-17s, developed in collaboration with China, against the French Dassault Rafale fighter jets of the Qatar Air Force.
The French fighter jet Rafale, meaning ‘Gust of Wind,’ has been the latest induction in the Indian Air Force (IAF), PAF’s arch-nemesis.
The said report quotes “unconfirmed sources” to claim “the kill-ratio of JF-17 aircraft against the Qatar Rafale aircraft was 6:2, meaning the JF-17 Block II aircraft shot down Rafales six times compared to only two losses in air combat simulations during the exercise.” No details about the missions flown have been given."

The report is based on the multinational “Anatolian Eagle” exercise conducted in June 2021 between Turkey, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, and Qatar at a Turkish Air Force base. The participating aircraft in the exercise were Turkish F-16s, Pakistan’s JF-17 “Thunder” Block II, Qatar’s Rafale, and Azerbaijan’s MiG-29 and Su-25 “Frogfoot”.The report claimed that the exercise allowed the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to test the mettle of JF-17s, developed in collaboration with China, against the French Dassault Rafale fighter jets of the Qatar Air Force.

Could be true.
If this deal goes through I believe there will be more orders from some other friendly countries too.

Equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, enhanced firepower, and superior combat capabilities, the JF-17 Block III variant emerges as a formidable contender in the skies. For Azerbaijan, this acquisition signifies a quantum leap in defense, positioning it as a formidable force in the region.Strengthening Ties, Shaping Futures

Success stories against other air forces in friendly exercises is one thing but the real success comes from the fact that JF-17 has actually participated in real combat both against India and much recently against Iran. Both times PAF came on top. This alone should propel the sale of JF-17 in the international market coupled with reasons like no strings attached and cost effectiveness compared to more expensive western counterparts.

This is fake news propagated by social media accounts and which seems to be picked up an Azeri outlet with less than 15k twitter followers.
I have a lot of respect for @Windjammer but unless this news is confirmed by official sources or carried by mainstream media, it stands as fake news & moderators should close this thread and others like it.

If true, Thanks to Russian who guaranteed supply of engines and Chinese guarantee supply of parts. Big strategic move by Russians, never let Azerbaijan to buy American equipment. Let's wait and see Western reaction. Otherwise they can buy Western equipment.
