Africa was always the main target market that Pakistan hoped to capture, it's a surprise that it took so long to start campaigning there.

On the other hand, Nigeria is set to buy the thunder, so I guess that would be better advertisement.

Would we be getting some glimpses of Thunder during the show?

Africa was always the main target market that Pakistan hoped to capture, it's a surprise that it took so long to start campaigning there.

Sir it was the dual seater Thunder whose absence brought in delays. When it came to training the first question was about dual seater Thunder and somehow they were reluctant to employ Pakistan's method of training through simulators as it was quite a leap for them to take. So now dual seater in sight we can very well go ahead with sales in Africa esp.

On the other hand, Nigeria is set to buy the thunder, so I guess that would be better advertisement.

We had excessive military exchanges with Nigeria and they were in line and in comfort zone on what we were offering.

I m wondering why Nigeria did not buy Tejas.

On a serious note, this effort seems to be genuine and focused. As Nigeria has already bought JF-17, the platform looks more credible to African buyers.

So on one hand we're calling Africa our main market, but on the other hand we don't even bother taking a few aircraft there?

A humble request with all members, please don't make this thread another JF-17 vs Tejas trolling thread.
