The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has formally transitioned 14 Squadron into a JF-17 Thunder unit following the arrival of 16 new aircraft on 15 February.
The arrival of the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) aircraft at Minhas Air Base marked the transition of the unit from the Chinese-built F-7P air defence and ground attack aircraft and the FT-7 operational trainer variant.

To date, the PAF has taken delivery of 86 JF-17 aircraft and has stood up five squadrons on the type.
The JF-17 is a single engine fighter produced jointly by the PAC and China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC). It has so far been equipped with a Russian RD-93 engine, although Chinese officials have urged Pakistan to consider equipping future platforms with Chinese-built engines.
