ISLAMABAD: Saudi Arabia is interested in purchasing the JF-17 Thunder fighters that was jointly produced by Pakistan and China, a report published in a US-based online newspaper said.
The report said that the Saudi Defense Ministry and Royal Saudi Air Force are reviewing the JF-17 program and considering becoming a partner in it.
It said that Pakistan had offered the JF-17 fighter to Saudi Arabia with technology transfer and co-production. The offer apparently occurred when Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Prince Salman Bin Sultan visited Pakistan last week.
