Amid Boko Haram Insurgency, Nigeria To Buy JF-17 Thunder Fighter Jets From Pakistan For $25M

[KingRaj]

Looks like you are trying hard to believe in this bullsh!t. So that's why you keep repeating it again and again.

Instead of replying like a kid why don't you provide sources which say that Pakistan is involved in the sale of K-8s and MBT to Myanmar and Bangladesh?

 

[Kambojaric]

JF-17 export price is around 30 to 35 million how can they get multiple jets in 25 million ?

Paying in instalments I suppose.

 

[帅的一匹]

Good news, keep it up!

JF-17 export price is around 30 to 35 million how can they get multiple jets in 25 million ?

May be its per jet price.

Or It's simply the amount of 2016 installment.

It's likely the first installment.

 

[Maarkhoor]

It's likely the first installment.

Even on installment but when contract sign they announce the full amount, anyways good to see many nations interested in JF-17.

Don't think India has got any problems with JF-17s in Nigeria as Nigeria is over 7000km from India.

But India will never allow any sale of major defence equipment by Pakistan to India's neighbours(excluding China but obviously China will never buy from Pakistan).
Only reason India allowed sale of K-8s and MBT-2000s to Myanmar and Bangladesh is because they were manufactured and exported by China with no Pakistani involvement in the deals.
Pakistan is not even involved in the maintenance of these systems in those two nations.

The reason India is opposed to such deals is because Pakistani exports could lead permanent basing of Pakistanis in these nations for maintenance and training etc.

K-8s are manufactured in Pakistan... So are PAC Mushaks.

Are you an Idiot? K-8 is a PAKISTANI variant of IL-8 that is MADE IN PAKISTAN. The MBT-2000 was not made in Pakistan and is not exported from Pakistan, but we still get a share.

If you got a reach, we got a reach too. We certainly do not have issues in them buying it though.

India cannot effect any country's decision to buy JF, JF is Chinese and Pakistani product and together they have more clout than India of even 2050

Guess we have another customer for Mig 27's

"Customer" ... Last I checked delivering an aircraft free of cost doesn't make the receiving nation a "customer" ..

K-8P is the Pakistani variant of K-8(export name for all JL-8s) just like K-8V is Venezuelan variant of K-8.
What I am saying that Bangladesh and Myanmar's K-8s and MBT2000 were not manufactured in Pakistan contrary to the claims of PDF Pakistani members.

 

[Bilal.]

Your reach is limited to either weak small states like BD and SL or countries like France who are in "mother of all defense deals" with you. Other than that your reach is nowhere.

Absolutely, mother of all defence deals. What was supposed to be 126 fighters for $10 billion will now be just 36 for the same amount. Who wouldn't love such a customer.

K8 is manufactured in Pakistan but the MBT-2000 isnt, the MBT-2000 is meant to be mid-tech compared to the high-tech Al-Khalid, so we dont use MBT-2000 nor produce parts for them.

The amount quoted is actually from a leaked copy of the Nigerian budget, not the deal. I expect the deal itself to be worth around $100mn.

I would still consider the K-8 to be a major Chinese effort, but its beyond oblivious to say that its "just the name and Pak did nothing" and the variants are XYZ ...

I suppose you would know of Pakistani inputs to this project ??? the fact that 25% of the funding to the K-8 project to kick start it was Pakistani ... or the fact that the name K-8 or "Karrakoram 8" was proposed by General Zia Ul Haq to commemorate the friendship between Pakistan and China as this was to a degree a joint effort ... Since you want links so ... here you go ...

Pakistan and the People's Republic of China unveiled a decision in 1986 to jointly build the K-8 with Pakistan providing 25% funding for the project. Development of the K-8 started in 1987 with initial plan to deploy American technologies including Garrett turbofan engine and Collins avionics, but was cancelled in 1989 due to US political restrictions on China.

The Chinese chief designer of the aircraft was Mr. Shi Ping, heading a team of over 100 Chinese Engineers, while Air Cdr Muhammad Younas Tbt (M), SI(M) was the chief designer from the Pakistani side leading a team of over 20 Pakistani engineers.

The first prototype was built in 1989, with the first flight taking place on 21 November 1990 by Chief Test Pilot Col Yang Yao . Flight testing continued from 1991 to 1993 by a Flight Test Team consisting of four Chinese and two Pakistani Pilots (Group Captain Waqar Ahmad and Squadron Leader Nadeem Sherwani).

The export-variant K-8 Karakorum Basic Common Advanced Jet Trainer is co-produced by China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC) for export markets other than Pakistan, while later aircraft for Pakistan have been built by the Aircraft Manufacturing Factory (AMF), Pakistan Aeronautical Complex.

I think it means per piece. Depends on which version they want to buy. If they want block one then it is in range of 20-25 million. Block 2 is 30-35. Block 1 cant fire BVR missiles.

Pakistani block 1 fleet is BVR equipped ...
