Angola signed a deal with Russia of over a billion dollars for defence equipment about 4 years ago. That included 12 x Su-30KNs (ex Indian air force ). Unconfirmed reports are they will be getting 6 more to make 18. Their Su-22s were modernised in Poland and include glass cockpits.

You welcome. Not sure though if you are asking for the source? The Nigerian national budgets are available online. No time to find them at the moment. I will have them save on my computer at home.

$184 agrees closely with the Nigerian government budgets for the past 3 years taking into account varying exchange rates. I did the calculations in July and have not corrected for the current rate. For me they are damn nearenough.

They will be customised Sir. Exactly what subsystems has been tweaked and to want extent is the big unknown. Some details will trickle gradually.
