Bangladesh has for the first time officially confirmed a long-anticipated deal to acquire Chinese 4.5-generation J-10CE fighter jets, citing the aircraft's reported combat performance during last year's India-Pakistan conflict, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.
Zahed Ur Rahman, the prime minister's adviser for information and broadcasting, said on Tuesday that a draft proposal to procure the J-10CE jets has been submitted to the Ministry of Finance and the Armed Forces Division for final clearance, the SCMP report said, citing Bangladesh's Press Information Department (PID).
