Nigerian Air Force for strong ties with Indian Air Force

[SP!TF!R3]

Are you sure you are on the right forums? Your lack of knowledge indicates that a Defence Forum might be somewhere you may end up as a result of a mistake but never on purpose. Pakistan was not given a squadron of F-16 for "Free", these were F-16s that were paid for in the 80s but their delivery was cancelled due to the Pressler Amendment.
As for you giving the LCAs 'Free' to Afghanistan, If they can't buy them, they probably can't maintain them, your planes will end up like the rest of the Afghan Airforce.................Scrap. If you want to give them planes, you will have to set up repair and haul facilities, train the staff, train technicians, set up forges for heavy metal parts, train more staff, train more technicians. India will end up spending 30 times the value of the aircrafts on the facilities made to maintain them. Sound like a bargain?
In geo-politics, even a cheap hooker ain't free, cheap yes, but never free.

by the way US aid is free(just sum up what Pakistan really did to stop Taliban and how much they got paid for it)... just kidding,don't mind...

this is a good news..i think India should start joint training and exercise with Nigeria.may be it'll become destination of some of our exported aircrafts..and Nigerial is a very important member of African Union..a good relation with them will give India a good foothill in Africa.

Certainly, India would be the best option for filling the void in Afghanistan after the US leaves if it's Indian interests that are being sought. For Afghan Interests to be given slightly higher priority, I would back Turkey or the SCO to take a leading role in Afghanistan. So, do you want me to go into detail?

lol all the US weapons you get are for free . You pay money , US gives you aid and you call you are paying for it ? Its a fact that it hurts you when any one speak of Indo Afghan relations . Then what for did you think IAF will train them ? Our personnel will be assisting in maintaining them just like US assists you in maintaining F16s and upgrading them .
