Five nations seek Pakistan’s JF-17 fighter post-combat success, but limited production and Chinese oversight delay exports.
Five countries—Iraq, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Libya—are seeking to buy Pakistan’s China-developed JF-17 Thunder fighter jet following its combat use in a 2025 conflict with India.
The aircraft, priced $40–50 million each, has drawn interest due to its low cost and proven performance, but Pakistan can only produce 16–20 units annually, most for its own air force.
Export expansion is limited by production capacity and lack of announced funding or technical support, with China controlling 42% of production and requiring approval for all sales.
Without major investment, delivery delays could stretch years, potentially undermining the jet’s appeal.
