Hangul | 7 years ago | Reply @Usman: Myanmar has ordered! Why would Pakistan sell JF-17 to that country which is alleged to have blood of Rohingiya Muslims on its hands? Is it that where there is lure of the lucre, other things do not matter?
Usman | 7 years ago | Reply @Anz: Mayanmar and nigeria both have placed. Nigeria has also done initial payment.
