May 'lose out' JF-17 deal with Argentina, says Pak embassy in Insta post; later claims account 'hacked'

The Pakistani embassy in an Instagram post on Wednesday said that the country might 'lose out' on the JF-17 deal with Argentina, adding that 'political substitution in Islamabad may lead' to Pakistan's revival.

Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was left red-faced when an Instagram post from the account of the country's embassy in Argentina went viral on Wednesday. The post said that Pakistan "may lose out" on the JF-17 deal with Argentina.

Developed jointly by Pakistan and China, the JF-17 fighter jets have been commissioned into service for the Pakistani Air Force. Myanmar, Nigeria, Azerbaijan and Sri Lanka have reportedly ordered the JF-17 jets from Pakistan.
