Turkey will provide 34 T-37 aircraft and their spare parts to Pakistan free of cost in a landmark deal signed between the two countries in Ankara, an official announcement said on Wednesday.
On Pakistan’s desire of acquiring the aircraft, Turkey decided to provide 34 T-37, a jet trainer and light attack aircraft, without charging a single penny, the defence ministry’s statement said.
The agreement was reached during a meeting of Pakistan-Turkey High Level Military Dialogue Group (HLMDG), which concluded in Ankara on Wednesday.
