On 08 December 2025 a six-ship formation of JF-17 Thunder aircraft from the Pakistan Air Force provided a ceremonial air escort to the President of the Republic of Indonesia H.E. Prabowo Subianto as his aircraft entered Pakistani airspace.
The JF-17 escort, flown in a precise formation, extended warm greetings from the formation leader and served as a visible expression of hospitality and the strong bond of brotherhood between the two nations. The deployment underscored Pakistan’s commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with Indonesia.
JF-17 Thunder is a state-of-the-art 4.5 generation multi-role combat aircraft that reflects the advanced operational capabilities of the Pakistan Air Force. The ceremonial escort continued the long-standing tradition of honoring visiting dignitaries and highlighted the PAF’s role in promoting peace and stability in the region.
The JF-17 escort functioned both as a gesture of goodwill and as a demonstration of teamwork and professionalism, reinforcing the enduring friendship between Pakistan and Indonesia during President Prabowo Subianto’s official visit.
