AAD 2016: Nigerian JF-17 deal close to finalisation

[BRAVO_]

Nigeria has signed a memorandum of understanding covering the sale of the joint Pakistani-Chinese PAC/CAC JF-17 Thunder multirole fighter and a contract is expected to be finalised by November, a senior official from the Pakistan's Defence Export Promotion Organization (DEPO) told IHS Jane's during the Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) show held in South Africa from 14-18 September.

The official declined to say how many JF-17s Nigeria would order, but said the announcement was expected during the IDEAS show that will be held in Karachi in November.

He also declined to confirm that Nigeria will be the first export operator of the JF-17 as Myanmar has ordered the aircraft from China.

Nigeria's intention to acquire the fighter was revealed in the federal budget document that was released in January, which included NGN5 billion (USD25 million) for three JF-17s as well NGN2.06 billion for 10 PAC Super Mushshak basic trainers.

The DEPO official said that discussions were still continuing with both the Nigerian Air Force and the army's new aviation wing regarding the acquisition of the Super Mushshak trainers.

The Nigerian Price has assured Modi he will kill the JF17 deal. We are doomed.

Now when is Modi visiting Nigeria?

India cannot compete with China in Africa with FDI investments though it can compete with China in West & Russia due to its high defense imports which China has almost done away with.

With this deal, for Pakistan, there are a lot of opportunities for growth especially within the NAF. Pakistan Aeronautical Complex will be counted upon to service and support the NAF’s JF-17s, potentially through the life of the aircraft’s service in Nigeria. It is likely that Nigeria will acquire additional JF-17s in the coming years.

There is nothing to stop the NAF from configuring, customizing and equipping its JF-17s according to its requirements and preferences. There is an opportunity for other vendors, particularly South Africa’s Denel Dynamics, which could provide the NAF with a range of precision-guided air-to-ground munitions. so win win deal for everybody
