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

[Pandora]

Pakistani block 1 fleet is BVR equipped ...

No it wasnt it was quoted by Marketing team that Block didnt have operational BVR bcz it wasnt integerated but may be it has been done after block 2 bcz block 2 has confirmed BVR capability.

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 ...

Lol.Where does your link say that K-8s of Bangladesh and Myanmar's were manufactured in Pakistan.

Doubting the sanity of a sock puppet?

Before finalizing deal with Nijeria, Pakistan should send few jets to hit boko haram targets specially at night. It will make good case for future buyers.

See PAF latest promotional video .. Block 1 there can be seen equipped with BVRAAM (SD10)

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.

You claim there was no involvement of Pakistan -- well here was a post of @Dazzler that you completely ignored and never responded to ...

Seems like you had a brain flush, the parts i mentioned are made at PAC facility for every export K-8. Pakistan DOES NOT EXPORT K-8 because Pakistan DOES NOT MANUFACTURE THE COMPLETE aircraft, rather 25% of it as per the JV agreement.

Got It?

Then I gave two different sources to show Pakistani input in the project from testing to financial input and ofcourse the team from the Pakistani side involved in the PROJECT that resulted in the product i.e K-8 ... If that itself isn't enough to satisfy you, how about this ...

The K-8 jet trainer, also known as the K-8 Karakorum or the Hongdu JL-8, is a joint venture between China’s Nanchang-based Hongdu Aviation Industry Group (HAIG), and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) in the 1990s.

Lastly, instead of random rambling, we would surely like some sources of yours proving your claims ... if you have any that is ...

LAMP.Just because Pakistan was involved in the K-8 and MBT-2000 projects from initial phas that does mean that the jets and tanks in Myanmar and BD inventory were manufactured in Pakistan.
While PAC transferred some front fuselages to China from 2002-2006 But Since 2006/2007 Hongdu produces all the parts including the stabilizer, rudder, front fuselage etc at its own facilities and does not import any parts from Pakistan for the K-8 it exports or manufactures for PLAAF.
Any senior Sinodefence forum member can confirm this.

While Pakistan produces the above mentioned parts(stabilizer, rudder, front fuselage)for it's own K-8s rest of the parts are imported from China.

The last time PAC exported products to Bangladesh were some spares for FT-6 and A-5s during Khaleda regime(both retired now).
While Sri Lanka did purchase from PAC some O-rings, gaskets for F-7s in 2004 but no spares for K-8s were sourced from.Pakistan

Guess we have another customer for Mig 27's

If you guys have any left after all the crashes ...

India is not obsessed with Pakistan at all ... now repeat this lie a million more times to ensure you lot stay deluded and denial about your visceral anti-Pakistan hatred and paranoia.

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

Because this news article doesn't show that Nigeria may just be leasing JF-17 aircraft for now till their procurement plans are final.

The amount reflected in the budget is likely the first tranche of multiple payments. This has been pointed out by multiple posters on multiple threads.

Still far from a sale.

Your behind must be bleeding a lot.. The blood trail is in every thread ...

K-8,MBT-2000 are export variants of JVs.. Told you a billion times before.. .. Repeating some shyt m again and again like a retard won't change reality.

As for Bangladesh.. Kiddo.. Pak donated those jets to BD in the first place.. Among other Pak imports to Bangladesh are C4I systems,ATGMs,KRL-122 MLRS etc etc..

SL also bought millions of dollars worth equipment from Pakistan... Hope these facts make you bleed more.
