The #Nigeria|n AF recently took delivery of 3 #Pakistan|i made JF-17s. Paraphrasing @Justin_Br0nk: it was ease of maintenance, composite airframe, a proven Russian engine & digital avionics that made the JF-17 the ideal platform for the budget conscious NAF. More orders expected. https://t.co/vvl6B5ORpn

An image of IDFAF airbase at Ovda. A peripheral base but look at the level of layout, design and overall quality. In comparison our own recently built Bholari is plain and rustic.
Just my thoughts, by the way
