Azerbaijan Enhances Considerable Air Defense In Shadow Of Iran War
xCruzo Brief
Azerbaijan is rapidly upgrading its air defense amid the Iran-war backdrop, confirming it has acquired 40 JF-17C Block III fighters in a $4.2 billion deal—its largest purchase of fighters to date. The 4.5-generation jets are set to replace aging MiG-29s and give Baku what it says will be the South Caucasus’s most powerful air force by both quality and scale. Azerbaijan also displayed China’s HQ-9BE strategic missile systems, alongside a mixed inventory that includes Russian S-300s and Israeli Barak batteries. The upgrades follow a March 5 drone attack on Nakhchivan International Airport, and the JF-17 entered service on July 6.
