Pakistan approves Nigerian JF-17 production

Jeremy Binnie, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly

25 October 2018

The Pakistani government’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved a USD184.3 million sovereign guarantee covering the production of three PAC/CAC JF-17 Thunder fighters for Nigeria under a recently signed contract, the Pakistan Express Tribune reported on 24 October.

This is the first confirmation from Pakistan that Abuja has signed a contract for the JF-17, although payments totalling NGN19.7 billion (USD54 billion) were put aside for the aircraft in Nigeria’s 2016 and 2018 budgets.

At 30m $ per copy, Pakistan plans to sell at least 6 aircraft to Nigeria including infrastructure, training costs.
