Pakistan has reportedly finalized a significant $4.6 billion defense deal with Libya's General Khalifa Haftar, including 16 JF-17 Thunder fighter jets and 12 Super Mushak trainer aircraft. This deal, finalized during a visit by Pakistan's Chief of Defence Staff, positions Pakistan as a primary defense vendor and diversifies its export market. The transaction, however, reportedly bypasses a UN arms embargo on Libya, indicating a risk-tolerant approach by Pakistan prioritizing its defense industry's growth over strict adherence to international mechanisms.
