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

[S.U.R.B.]

Hi,

Thank you for your post---as a matter of fact there is no other aircraft available to any third world country with this package---AA BVR, AS smart weapons and the naval weapons package---. This aircraft is a little monster in the making.

Still a jack of all trades, that is.
And it can be good enough for a workhorse.( As it was meant to be that way unfortunately= not a catchy enough line to spread your business)

Until the influx of the money in this program reaches to such an amount that the manufacturer is driven to make it stand right among the top notch true 4.5 generation ACs ( & acquiring such a machine is a fashion these days for any of the air forces).
We all know where that amount of money most feasibly can come from ,i-e a successful sales and purchase agreement ( not from with in the country ,not with this economy ,i'm sorry).

And with out it , you'll keep on making minor/mediocre improvements and shall always find yourself in a constant need to catch the world/customers.Time is of essence because there is limited period of window may be about few years (let's say a couple more).
Only if they can play their cards well with this Block-2 version.Now is the time to make or break.Break in a sense that even if they fail to gain any market share ,the JFT(as a 4th generation fighter jet) will actually pass with flying colors for being a workhorse operated by the PAF. And the passage that is going to make it match with a class above it is only going to be profitable and illustrious for our aviation industry.Anyone at the PAC with such a task at hand must already know it.​

Nigeria has chosen Russian fighter jets. There envoy who came back from russia recently confirmed the development. Apparently JF-17 was used as a leverage

Are there any further details on this development? Which fighter jet have they chosen and in what number?

They are in talks for helicopters and heavy and light fighter jets. That doesn't say they have backed out of JF-17 negotiations. Also Russia doesn't have a machine similar to JF-17s. If there is a need for single engine light multi-role aircraft, they cannot get it from Russia,

Provided that thunder is powered with Russian engine they will benefit indirectly if sales goes through.

There was more than leverage involved. Nigeria is not exactly free of kickbacks.

Arms market is notoriously difficult to get into for late entrants, as India too is finding out while trying to sell its warships.

That is because the competition is tough and unfair, customers few and far between ..and brand recognition high.

Looks like a leverage stunt

Russia can build a plane similar to JF-17 in less than a year
they have all the blocks to build one

Nigeria wants a light ground attack aircraft cheap to operate
