[Inception-06]

Is Nigeria buying Block 2?

I understand that brother but what does "722" indicate? 72nd aircraft from Block-2 or the 22nd exported / exportable aircraft or the 2nd NAF aircraft from Block-2 or something else?



Canopy seems too close to the nose or it may be just the angle.

just angle; the canopy is open

Yes. Block-1 was never exported.

All block 01 has been upgraded to block 02 standards.
sooner or later all these will get AESA radars and PL-15 missiles.

what do these upgrades include, what are the main difference between the blocks 1-2-3 ?

 

[Dreamer.]

Nigerian social media believes they've ordered more.

How many more? Enough for serials of completed aircraft to reach 22? Rather unlikely, No?

It's either renumbering due to change in numbering scheme (or maybe human error ) ?

Or some other explanation.....

How many more? ...

A few people claiming it to be 40 but they're just claims.

Alan Warnes did say though that Block-3 is expected to be exported in large numbers hence the serial number 3000 on the Block-3.
