IDEAS 2014: Nigeria 'close to signing up' for JF-17

[sathya]

Finalised recommendation means what ?

Like request for intent or proposal ?

Did they look for any other aircraft ? Or preferred single vendor ?

Nigeria Air Force recommended it, their defence ministry will take next move ?

How long it will take to materialise ?

The air force has told their government their choice of fighter. So it down to politicians and bureaucrats now. The military professionals have made their call.

Both have VERy different performance levels.

Can you do the same with a Nano what you can do with a Accord?

Not that case. They have chosen from JF-17, Scorpion, Super Tucano and second hand Alpha Jet

Well that is the thing, the performance level that they were getting from the JF-17 was unequalled by any other competitor.

PAF has worked with NAF, helping them and upskilling them to operate their F-7s. Their pilot errors and crashes have declined ever since PAF dispached their crew.

If this deal is done, our cooperation with NAF will extend to next 30 years. We'd be glad to help them build their air power. I'm sure NAF pilots will be looking forward to training with PAF's flyboys.

Need to return the favor for the Uranium that they allowed to be shipped from Niger, circa 1970s.

Indians will have a brain tumor diagnosis.

It is good news, but one reservation i have is where are the excess numbers going to come from?I hope PAF production is NOT affected..........so no wonder Russians agreed to supply 100 more RD93s and is now talking directly with Islamabad. Klimov will easily see 300 engines being sold.

How would the training and spares setup be managed since PAF had to spend a great deal of time and money on setting up it's own two units.

Frankly speaking, their air force is not well organized as PAF and PlAAF, so any result will not shock me

Dear Sirs,

How are ranks given? I am a new recruit.

Based on your post count.

Frankly, as long as the coffers of China and Pakistan get filled.. who cares.

Good.
Nigeria should use JF17 to send the cavemen mullah's to heaven.
