Seems like you missed a lot of joy in past w.r.t. this selling. There was competition, announced by Turkey for selection of such class trainers that Pakistan won among many other contenders, hence, the sale which if finally signed during Ideas but was confirmed in past.

Bro, you are taking things on opposite site.. I have followed all these events about SM sales to Nigeria, Qatar and Turkey.
this devil man @Zarvan left no opportunity to give us breaking news right from the mouth of the defence officials.
So, there is no surprise on the signing of the agreement as we already know about this..

what i was asking about K-8 is that. we have not heard anything about its sale in the recent past. and nothing about its upgrades apart from the those new air-air missile capabilities.

SM and JF-17 are all over the news and they have been named in on almost all the foreign visit of MoDM.

No bad feeling... but just curious why K-8 is not being publicized for sale..

Karachi: Pakistan has signed a deal with Turkey to supply 52 Super Mushshak basic trainer aircraft, a minister said.

Talking to media at the 9th International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) 2016, Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer said the deal will strengthen ties between two brotherly countries and result in huge foreign exchange for Pakistan, DunyaNews reported.

"Development of a fleet tanker in collaboration with Turkey, is another example of close relationship in the field of defence production between two countries", Tanveer added.

The aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in three batches – in 2017, 2018 and the last batch in 2019.

The indigenously-made Super Mushshak aircraft, is a primary trainer aircraft with a recorded range of 814 km and a maximum speed of 268 km/h. These state-of-the-art training jets, developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), have been in high demand from various African and Middle Eastern nations.

The Minister also announced that another agreement was signed with Ukraine for the upgradation of 200 al-Khalid-1 tanks.

The Al-Khalid or "The Immortal Tank", is a main battle tank developed in a joint venture between China and Pakistan in the 1990s. It is powered by a Ukrainian diesel engine.

Talking to media, Tanveer said Ukraine defence industry is one of the most advanced in the world, which also produced battle tanks for the Russian army.

Well done PAC. This is a very welcoming news as we are selling trainers to many countries when we are left isolated by our neighbors.
