Pakistan Air Force has sent a technical team for repair and maintenance of Myanmar's JF-17 combat aircraft, a move that will help upgrade their defence partnership.

This comes as Myanmar Air Force officials are visiting Pakistan for a six-month training course on maintenance of JF-17, ET has learnt.

The near simultaneous visits reflect growing confidence in each other's military establishment, according to Myanmar watchers.

Myanmar has 11 JF-17 aircraft, developed jointly by China and Pakistan, all exported by Pakistan to Myanmar but currently grounded due to technical faults. Myanmar wants JF-17 combat ready to fight rebel groups within its territory.
