🇵🇰🇱🇾 BREAKING: A $4.6 Billion Defence Deal
Pakistan and the Libyan National Army have signed what is being described as the largest defence agreement in Libya’s history, valued at $4.6B.
What’s in the package:
-
16 × JF-17 Thunder multirole fighter jets
-
12 × Super Mushak trainer / light attack aircraft
-
44 × Haider Main Battle Tanks
-
Advanced infantry mortar systems
-
1 × multi-purpose naval vessel
-
Full-spectrum training for Libyan armed forces
This isn’t just hardware. It’s doctrine transfer, force regeneration, and institutional rebuilding.
Libya, By the Numbers (That Actually Matter)
-
Haftar’s LNA controls ~65% of Libyan territory
-
Secures ~75% of oil assets
-
Commands ~50,000 fighters
-
Backed regionally by UAE, Egypt, with Russian linkage
-
Western bloc centered in Tripoli remains Qatar-aligned
Pakistan didn’t “pick a side.”
Pakistan picked control, continuity, and capacity.
The Bigger Play: More Than Weapons
Defence is only the first layer.
Multiple tracks are now active:
-
Oil & energy cooperation
-
Security coordination
-
Business & infrastructure investment
-
Human resource and training pipelines
Pakistan isn’t just selling arms.
Pakistan is embedding itself into Libya’s future state architecture.
