Azerbaijan Defence Programs & Military Development

There is no JF-17 contract or even anything indicating Azerbaijan’s intention of buying JF-17, only random rumors. JF-17 talk has been around since late 2000s, when Pakistani websites mentioned the name of Azerbaijan among “potential buyers” alongside several other countries. I haven’t seen a single serious source about it.

As for the real news:

“The Azerbaijani delegation visited Russian military plants manufacturing Su-35 and MiG-35 combat aircraft. During meetings with representatives of one of the leaders of the global arms market in Russia, the "Rosoboronexport" Company and the leadership of military plants, our country expressed its interest in purchasing the most advanced Russian-made combat aircraft.

The Azerbaijani delegation was presented with briefings on the characteristics, combat capabilities, armament of combat aircraft, as well as the production, operation, and maintenance of air assets.

The Russian side, in turn, expressed its readiness to deliver combat aircraft to our country in a quantity that meets the needs of the Azerbaijan Air Force.

Azerbaijani military pilots have performed practical flights on MiG-35 aircraft at Russian military airbases.”

There were official news of Azerbaijan being in the final negotiations for purchasing JF-17 Block 2+ and was only selecting AESA radar, and that was a year ago, fair to assume contract has been signed some time ago.
 
With the amount of money and what else I would have expected Azerbaijan to already launch retake of invaded lands.
No, Armenia and Azerbaijan battlefield will be hard to battle at because it is so mountainous. Reason why Afghanistan is hard to fight invade.
 
2.If the Su-35 is sold, will Azerbaijan have a demand from Russia to integrate Turkish weapons and systems, or what will Russia answer?

Russia has previously allowed integration of Western sensors into Su-30, Azerbaijan will most likely request integration of Aselpod and Turkish weapons into Su-35. Indian Su-30s fly with Rafael targeting pods.

What official news? Can you post a link?
 
No it’s not. And Azerbaijan doesn’t need Chinese junk.

Azerbaijan's budget is pretty small to develop a sizeable and effective air force, nothing wrong with JF-17, its cheap and if equipped with Italian AESA, Aselpod, SOMs, Chinese BVR missiles, its a very capable multi-role plane. Definitely more capable than anything we currently have.
