    Pakistan Claims JF-17 Sales Surge After Operation Sindoor Could End IMF Bailouts In 6 Months

    19 hours ago

    Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has claimed that a recent spike in interest in Pakistan’s Chinese-origin JF-17 Thunder fighter jets-following the May 2025 flare-up with India during Operation Sindoor-has pushed sales to a “record high”, and could help the country avoid seeking further IMF bailouts within six months.

    Speaking to Pakistani broadcaster Geo News, Asif said Pakistan’s fighter aircraft had been “tested” during the conflict and were now attracting large orders. “Our aircraft have been tested, and we are receiving so many orders that Pakistan may not need the International Monetary Fund in six months,” he claimed.

    He added that the May 2025 clash with India had, in his view, demonstrated Pakistan’s “resolve” and military effectiveness to the international community.
