In July 2019, a small Pakistan Army Aviation plane crashed in Rawalpindi, a city in Pakistan's Punjab province, during a routine training flight, killing at least 19 people.
The China-built aircraft was ordered in 1999 as part of the F-7PG package. The PAF previously operated F-7Ps. At least 13 F-7PGs/FT-7PGs have been lost during their 17 years in service, according to media reports.
Pakistan operates more than 50 of the Chinese-made aircraft.
