Three countries to buy Super Mushshaq training aircraft from Pakistan
July 25, 2016|By Web Desk|Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: Nigeria has concluded a deal with Pakistan for the acquisition of Super Mushshaq training aircraft.

Nigeria signed the deal with Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) soon after President Mamnoon Hussain announced earlier this year that Nigeria has shown interest in buying Pakistani defence products. "Nigeria has expressed its desire to buy Pakistani Super Mudhshaq,” the president said.

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) chief confirmed the news saying that NAF has "concluded a deal for the acquisition of Super Mushshak", a light basic trainer jet from Pakistan, to "boost training at the force's main flight training school" in the northern city of Kaduna.

According to sources, Nigerian Air Force has ordered up to 10 Super Mushshak basic trainers at the estimated cost of $10.2 million.

Letter of Credit for the said deal will be finalised by September this year. According to military sources, delivery of these training aircrafts will begin by November and will be completed in 2017. The sale agreement includes the deployment of Pakistani pilots and aircraft maintenance technicians to the country to train locals in the operation and maintenance of the aircraft. The NAF had already completed an airport expansion to accommodate the new aircrafts.

The aircraft is already in service in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran and South Africa. Qatar and Turkish Air Forces have also signed the deals with PAC to buy the aircraft this year. It is not known how many aircrafts Turkey and Qatar would be buying.

The Super Mushshak is a single engined, dual seater advanced variant of the Mushshak basic trainer, produced at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex since 1995. Basic flight training is provided on the aircraft to aspiring pilots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 22,000 feet, and a maximum speed of 268km/h. Range of the aircraft is reported at 814 kilometres. Pakistan acquired its manufacturing rights in 1985 and so far more than 60 jets have been sold.

Chief of Nigerian air Force has also hinted upon sealing a deal with Pakistan to buy fighter jet JF 17. NAF is looking for the finalization of the deal to buy at least three JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft this year. Nigeria is enhancing its military capabilities to boost ongoing counterinsurgency operations against Islamist militant group Boko Haram in the northeast of the country.

Super Mushshak is proving to be a door opener for PAC. Hope JF-17 will get the same response.

Dude you copied my pic ! Lol ,
As for super Mushak , this thing is selling good

 

[General General]

so far more than 60 jets have been sold.

It's not a jet. A slip of the editor, perhaps.

Still better jet than Teja bhai.

Still better jet than Teja bhai.

Get some senses, and no need to drag neighbor in each and every matters. I'm sick with this mentality.
There is hell lot of difference b/w Tejas and Mushaq.

 

[Super Falcon]

PAC should consider getting rights to manufacture advanced trainer with jet engine I'm sure we get even more order

PAC work under PAF so they get profits along with govt budget I'm sure PAF can buy SU 35

I am not surprised. Original safari was a good robust design - by doing the upgrade with engine etc it has taken it to a better level. Here is the challenge - PAC should not stop on its laurels but have a project team to research further improvements. Just because it is starting to sell does not mean it is the end of journey - it is the start.

Wise words, Denel. The best thing would be for SA & PK to colaborate. Remeber the Rooivlak and how the SA team colaborated with a certain giant?

SA & PK have a long history. They must work together. Your Super Hind is a marvelous example of SA innovation. PK can benefit from this upgrade as well.

The best will be JF in SA colours with your own innovation going into it.

That is why the Super Mushshak was developed from the Mushshak...

Yes there is a very long history but only in bits and pieces. I would liked to have seen lot of our mine proof afvs on the ground in Pak but somehow they went for US which was done with our engineers and casspir blueprints; similarly long range artillery. JF-17, Mirages etc carry a lot of our equipment not to mention stand off munitions.
if Mi-35s come on board; i would not be surprised if we are involved with upgrading to further.

understood friend, what i am staying is to be proactive and have a cyclical improvement R&D. It took them a long time to get this done.

Denel, you have great industries in your good /beautiful SA. Hopefully, both PK & SA collaborate... together with China... you can achieve great things... it is just not products in defence and aviation. One looks at broader industrial cooperation.

All the best. Keep innovating!!!
