Pakistan's Combat-Tested Jets Boost Global Weapons Sales

Pakistan's Combat-Tested Jets Boost Global Weapons Sales

Pakistan's military equipment, like jets and drones, has become very popular with other countries after they were used in a big fight with India.

Many countries, especially Muslim-majority ones, are interested in buying these weapons because they are cheaper and have been tested in real battles.

Pakistan is talking to about 13 countries, and some of these talks are very serious.

The jets cost between $30 million and $40 million, which is much less than similar weapons from the U.S. and Europe.

Pakistan is also working with China to make more of these jets and other equipment.

However, there are some challenges, like making sure they can produce enough and dealing with international pressures and rules.
