Pakistan to Sell JF-17 Jets, 'Killer Drones' to Indonesia in Major Defense Deal

• Pakistan is reportedly close to a major defense deal with Indonesia to sell over 40 JF-17 fighter jets and 'killer drones'.
• Indonesia seeks to replace its aging air force fleet and views the JF-17, jointly developed by Pakistan and China, as a cheaper option.
• The unit cost of a JF-17 is estimated between 25 and 30 million dollars, making it an attractive choice for Indonesia.
• Defense experts question the deal, citing Pakistan's inability to protect its own JF-17s against India in a past conflict.
• Pakistan is also pursuing arms deals with Bangladesh, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq to boost its economy.
