Pakistan is in the final stages of a $1.5 billion arms deal with Sudan, which is being brokered by Saudi Arabia. The agreement includes the transfer of 10 K-8 light attack aircraft, over 200 kamikaze drones, air defense systems, Super Mushshak trainers, and potentially JF-17 jets.

This development highlights the ongoing military cooperation between Pakistan and Sudan, facilitated by Saudi Arabia"s involvement in the negotiation process. The arms deal is part of a broader context of military agreements in the region, including a recent deal where Saudi Arabia is set to acquire JF-17 jets from Pakistan for $4 billion, as previously reported.

The finalization of this arms deal marks a significant step in Pakistan"s defense exports and its strategic partnerships in the Middle East and Africa.
