Early this year, Pakistani media reported that Azerbaijan planned to purchase these fighter jets from Pakistan. The deal is reportedly worth $1.6 billion. "These advanced, lightweight, all-weather aircraft, designed for both day and night operations, were developed as a joint venture between Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra and Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation of China. The jets have already been integrated into the arsenal of Azerbaijan's Air Force," the statement read. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev was presented the JF-17C multirole fighter jets on Wednesday at Heydar Aliyev International Airport, the statement said.
