Nigeria [emoji1184] buying 3 aircraft doesn't make sense does it. Their goal is to have 2 Squadrons minimum. The obstacles were a training aircraft which they have in the shape of JF17B and their financial position which remains questionable. I believe that this will be a slow process but chances are quite good [emoji106].Sir jee
What do you say?. Do you think it is true news?

Also look towards Tajikistan [emoji1240] whose president has signed MoUs for defence cooperation with Pakistan [emoji1191]. Things are moving forward albeit at a slow pace but that is expected.Nigeria [emoji1184] buying 3 aircraft doesn't make sense does it. Their goal is to have 2 Squadrons minimum.

Why did the Nigerian government purchase Mushshak trainers? Obviously to increase their training capability and capacity of their air force.Nigeria [emoji1184] buying 3 aircraft doesn't make sense does it. Their goal is to have 2 Squadrons minimum.

Romanian ambassador visited ACM and they have aircraft that need replacing i.e Mig21s.
Any chance for JF17 export?
Block 15 already MLUed. And I was talking about Mig 21s.They have F-16s.
It's worth noting that they're likely taking the JF-17 seriously because, well, they have no other choice.
Sure they can probably get offers from Dassault, but China's probably more willing to play ball on a flexible loan or financing package. In this vein, Argentina has very similar issues to Pakistan.
They couldn’t afford the interest on the Rafale at their current stage - the Indians are privately smarting at the fleecing they are enduring for it.
The Kfir is a good jet but maxed at its capacity now so its a hobson’s choice for them but they do like the idea of being able to put their FMA infrastructure that is generally rotting away to good use.
Please remember Maggie Thatcher had threatened to Nuke Argentina if the French did not give them the source codes for the Exocets. Knowing her she would have done it as well.So in fairness( not thatcI have any tolerance of the French bigotry) in this case they did the Argentinians a Favour.

The French President obviously did not agree with your point of view. Maggie Thatcher was not called the Iron lady for nothing. So ridiculour or not she threatened to Nuke Argentina and the French relented.Yes, I read that but it is a completely empty threat.
1) The UK isn't going to nuke a developing country like Argentina. Simply ridiculous.
2) The UK knows any attack on the Argentinian mainland would (by treaty) trigger the US and most of the countries in the Americas to jointly declare war on the UK. Thatcher knew this and was forced to keep all military action away from the mainland. Any f-up would be a disaster.
3) As if France really cares about Argentina? More likely afterwards Thatcher threatened Mitterand's own ships with being sunk for every one the UK lost to an Exocet.
4) I don't even think it has been proven that there even was such a thing as kill codes.
