Imran Khan is attending the ceremony of modern fighter aircraft J-10C induction into PAF
Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan and President Arif Alvi on Friday attended the ceremony of China’s modern fighter aircraft J-10C induction into Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
According to details, PM Imran Khan is attending the ceremony as chief guest on the special invitation of the Air Chief.
The first batch comprised of six J-10Cs arrived in the country on March 4. Pakistani pilots who had been training for three months in China flew the first batch to Pakistan. They will now be stationed here.
Pakistan has purchased a total of 25 J-10Cs and the first batch will be flying on the Pakistan Day parade on March 23.
The J-10C is expected to counter India’s move to buy aircraft from the West. India recently displayed the French-made Rafale jets on the Republican Day parade.
China is one of the biggest weapons exporters for the Pakistan armed forces. It has also partnered with the Pakistan Air Force to build JF-17 Thunder fighter Jets.
