This budget has been approved from all bodies.

 

[MBT 3000]

nice

 

[Signalian]

If 3 is a start leading to a squadron, its wonderful. Otherwise having just 3 air crafts isnt effective.

 

[El Sidd]

Nice.

Most of African af are in same boat 1 may be 2 sqn of 5-10 Ac each

Nigeria may add more later by replacing older types like f-7 and alphajet in attack role bringing total to 10-14 aircraft

Even their f-7s which were bought in 2010 ish I think only few are serviceable

Most African and south East Asian af will be in the same league

Only countries such as Malaysia may go straight and order 1 or 2 full strength sqn of 18 to 36

Other options South American and Middle Eastern where USA/west is not an options

Lastly Myanmar plan on ordering another Sqn looks like replacing f-7 and a-5s

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Nigeria operates F-7. JF-17 is a good replacement for F-7. Same size class.

Most people don't realize and underestimate the importance of this event. This really is a major step forward for Pakistan.

Even one JF-17 would have been significant. Three is a big start.

You went from hoping to get downgraded F-16 jets to selling one you built as a collaboration.

Now just continue to jail the thieves like Nawaz Sharif and their families who benefited from the criminal proceeds and confiscate all of their wealth.

 

[Chakar The Great]

I dont see Tejas in the list.

I dont see Tejas in the list.

They're listed under "Super-advance" category or 6th Generation fighter jets. Plus they are being manufactured in bulk as their demand will be overwhelming.
