Sell JF-17 to African countries

[JawadKKhan]

I was wondering why PAF doesn’t sell its entire fleet of 50 ~ 80 odd JF-17 block 1s to African countries after overhaul and upgrade of radar and avionics to block 1.5 standards. At let’s say 10 million a piece+ spares and weapons. These air forces like Congo etc. will use them for ground attack and some air defence.

this would free up resources to buy more block 3s and 4s

This idea is worth thinking after 1 or 2 decades. For now, we still need to retire massive number of F-7s & mirages.. JF-17 block 1 is much advance aircraft in PAF's fleet.

We might see some orders from african countries who knows may be even blk3s and not necessarily poorer ones. Egypt, Algeria are also in Africa. As western influence is diluted, countries are making some independent decisions.

How about focusing on our production capacity first.
