Pakistan is reportedly expanding its military footprint into North Africa with a $4 billion deal to supply JF‑17 fighter jets and trainer aircraft to Libya’s Eastern National Army. The move, coming despite a UN arms embargo and ongoing political turmoil at home, highlights Islamabad’s ambitions to become a major global arms supplier. Critics warn this development could destabilize Libya, fuel conflict, and threaten regional security.
