Most likely Sri lanka and the order will be for atleast 20-25 fighters.

Next in line is Nigeria for atleast 40-50 Aircrafts.

I hope the customer is not Bangladesh as Bangladesh Under haseena doesn't represent the people of Bangladesh and is more like a dictator worshipped by the elite class of Bangladesh and supported by India.

Pakistan in the recent past has also exported Trainers aircraft and related weapons to Iraq and mother ME countries.

Pakistan airforce provide training half of the muslim world and beyond and has the distinction of having highest kill ratio against Israel airforce and i don't need to mention the records PAF has over Indian airforce.
