Nigeria Receives Delivery of JF-17 Thunders

[arslank03]

Considering ECOWAS' imminent intervention into Niger to restore the democratically elected government there, we may see the JF-17 being used here to impose the NFZ that ECOWAS said they would place in the area.

definitely, they will get some heavy use, though afaik they did not buy SD-10's so itll be limited to WVR engagements only probably vectored by ground control, will be nice to get some kills under the belt, even if they are only embraer 314's and maybe su25a

What if SD-10s are sent to them in short notice? Even better if we could get our own missile integrated for Nigeria somehow (Faaz)

Might require delivery of new JF17s as war between western back Nigerian Forces against Niger or may be Senegal might take place by next weekend.

PAF revamped Air Defense Alert System

As far as I know, this is more a reverse-engineering attempt and less a ToT. So It's anybody's guess what's inside the actual missile (seeker, motor, whatever). I see it as a good learning opportunity for our people if the program is allowed to continue and not canned because the first version...

Hopefully Niger can return to democratic rule without a fight, but focusing strictly on potential conflict. It’s not the Niger Air Force (2xSu-25 and 2xHurkus) that the 3 Nigerian JF-17s will have to worry about. Rather Algeria has said it could intervene and they operate Su-24s, MiG-29s, and Su-30s. The Nigerian JF-17s need rapid deliveries of SD-10A ASAP (just in case).

3 JF-17s would be faced with potentially over a hundred modern aircraft from Algeria if the conflict comes to evolves that way.
