What are illegal refining sites? Why is fighter jet used instead of closing them down?

 

[AF-1]

That is Africa, limited roads access, private militias everywhere...
Whats closed, can be reopen, whats destroyed, can not..

So this is actually fighting a warlord, armed with powerful weapons too dangerous without an airstrike.

Seems lot of contradictions in this news article, such as.....

• No official confirmation from either Pakistan nor Azerbaijan
• No confirmation yet of Turkish weapons integration/configuration on JFs
• Will China/Turkey allow the weapon integration

Will China/Turkey allow the weapon integration

Probably. The JF-17 is already compatible with the R-Darter.
If Pakistan adopts those missiles then they could get a missile that would be common to the F-16s and JF-17s they operate eventually.
Even better would be getting a license from the Turks to produce these missiles in Pakistan.

That is what I get for trusting Wikipedia. You are right I cannot find a reliable source confirming it anywhere.
