ECC okays sale of JF-17 to Nigeria for $184.3M

[khanasifm]

They paid 500 million plus for Tacoma’s on order

 

[khanasifm]

Few other very much buying but financing issues from buyers
When ever they get financiers like other countries will buy

 

[Deino]

After Nigeria , within a year we will hear two more countries will most likely sign the contract for jf17 ..

Any more concrete info on these "two more countries"?

 

[somebozo]

so JF17 is an export fighter now..far ahead of Tejas

 

[Deino]

Why do we need a new thread on Nigeria?? We already have several and I would suggest to merge them similar to the ones Myanmar.

It's IMO a most annoying habit to start a new thread for each news ...

 

[Zibago]

Waiting for the comments from Indian members.

Nigeria is just the start its neghbours soon will buy from us after seeimg it in action against Boko Haram

Any more concrete info on these "two more countries"?

Argentina and Zimbabwe?

 

[Frozr]

So Indians, Nigeria just paid us $184.3 million for Chinese JFTs that we just "assemble" right?

Correct me if wrong but the Myanmar deal was most likely between China and Myanmar and this one is between Pakistan and Nigeria, of course the JV element stays intact, but they are both separate deals and can't be treated as a single development.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Is this a new order above the initial order?

3 Sold to Nigera:
Pakistan on Wednesday go ahead with sale of three JF-17 Thunder aircraft— a lightweight, single-engine, multi-role combat fighter jet—to African country Nigeria for a sum of $184.3 million.

6 Sold to Myanmar:
It is pertinent here to mention that as many as six JF-17 aircraft have been exported to Myanmar also.

Really need something Juicy from Indonesia / Azerbijan 18-36 plane order

 

[khansaheeb]

So my guess is 120 million+ USD is for training and ordnance in this deal?

This is just a preliminary deal, more Nigerian orders to follow once the Technology introduction, familiarisation and training is completed.

No, or I'm sorry, if my comment was misleading, but we have several threads on Nigeria and we have several ones on Myanmar. My point is why not merging the Nigerian ones into one and all on Myanmar also in one?

IMO it is ridiculous to have such a plethora of different threads all on the same topic ... just look these topics; and I only search up to page 3:

Similar we have at least 6 threads on the JF-17B, several for Block III, three alone on Azerbaijan's interest ... IMO a total unnecessary mess. But unfortunately I'm not allowed to moderate here.

Agreed, all export related news should be in one thread regardless of which of the two partners signed the contract. It is a JV after all and the sale will benefit both partners.

1.5th Generation cheeni jet which even cheeni didn't induct failed failed fai... oh

3 jets for 184 million dollars? Damn it cost them more than 65M/jet. It better be Block III. :|

Almost certainly includes ordinance, support, maintanence package etc hence the cost.
