ISLAMABAD: Pakistan signed an agreement with Azerbaijan for sale of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft to Azerbaijan Air Force.

The contract was signed in Azerbaijan by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra, Chairman Air Marshal Arshad Malik and Azerbaijan Air Force Commander Lt Gen Ramiz Tahirov, says a press release issued here on Sunday.

The agreement includes operational training and technical support and assistance to Azerbaijan Air Force.

The accord will strengthen relations between the two countries.

Super Mushshak is equipped with the most modern equipment and capabilities which makes it one of the best military trainer aircraft.

Approximately 300 Super Mushshak aircraft are being used by the PAF and Pakistan Army for military training of pilots and other defence-related activities.

Pakistan recently signed agreements to sell Super Mushshak aircraft to Turkey, Nigeria and Qatar.

The aircraft are already in service in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran and South Africa.
