Pakistan's JF-17 Thunder fighter jet is seeing a massive surge in international interest in 2026! In this detailed news analysis, we break down why countries like Iraq, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Libya are exploring purchases of this affordable, combat-proven multirole aircraft jointly developed by Pakistan and China.Key highlights from recent reports:At least 5 countries have shown strong interest in recent months (Bloomberg, February 2026).
Pakistan is in talks with 13 nations overall, with 6-8 deals in advanced stages (Reuters, January 2026).
Existing exports: Myanmar (16+ units since 2015), Nigeria (3 units), Azerbaijan (40 units in a ~$1.6-4.6 billion deal, with Block III inducted and paraded in 2025).
Potential new deals: Bangladesh & Libya eyeing ~16 each; Saudi Arabia possibly $2 billion for up to 50; Indonesia ~40 units.
Why the boom? JF-17's combat performance in the May 2025 conflict, low unit cost ($25-40 million vs. $90-120 million for Western jets like F-16/Rafale), AESA radar in Block 3, PL-15 missiles, and no political restrictions.
Production challenge: Pakistan produces fewer than 20 per year at PAC Kamra, mostly for PAF—could this "sweet problem" (Global Times) be solved with Chinese support?
