New Delhi: China will sell Pakistan at least 36 advanced fighter jets in deal worth 1.4 billion dollars.

Pakistani officials confirmed that two squadrons of the China designed and built J-10 fighters planes are to be acquired.

The J-10 is a multirole fighter configured for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.

Aviation experts say the design is based on the cancelled Israeli Lavi lightweight fighter and that Israel provided the technology for the fighter's fly by wire controls.

It is powered by a Russian engine. The J-10 entered service with the Chinese air force in 2003.
