“We have a requirement to improve our fleet and we are studying various options. The Air Force had never informed the Ministry of Defence that we would like to go for the JF-17, so there was never a final decision to purchase the jets when the Pakistan Prime Minister was in Sri Lanka,” Air Force spokesman, Group Captain Chandima Alwis was quoted as saying.
