Pakistan’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet has approved issuance of a ‘sovereign guarantee’ for the sale of three JF-17s to the Nigerian Air Force, at a reported $184.3 million. Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence Production had approached the ECC for issuance of such a certificate in order to process the supply of this Kamra-built multirole fighter for the Nigerian Air Force, in line with the contract signed between the two parties recently.
