All paid by dasuki.. thank GOd for the quickened delivery

SuperS1Panther:


It will always be good if we can acquire helicpoter gunship eg Apache Helicopters and 3-5 F-series from US.

We need a complete compliment of arsenal to be the rightful super power in Africa. We are too way behind Egypt and the Southies in Africa.

The US would never be caught dead selling this, except to very very close Allies

That's their pride.

Nigeria has apparently ordered Su-30 fighter jets from Russia and has already received two examples.

This is according to Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Deputy Director Anatoliy Punchuk, who was quoted by Russia’s Sputnik news agency on 26 June as saying Russia will deliver ten Su-30s in 2018.

Nigeria apparently received two Su-30s under a contract for the delivery of 12 of the Russian fighters this year.
The order comes as somewhat of a surprise as Nigeria has not been known to be interested in the Su-30, and has been pursuing the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) JF-17 Thunder single-engine fighter jet. Nigeria previously selected the type but by the end of 2016 had not yet signed a contract. Indications were it would order three of the jets.
The Nigerian Air Force may intend to operate both the JF-17 and Su-30, with the JF-17 as its new lightweight fighter and the Su-30 as a heavy multirole platform.

Elsewhere in Africa, Algeria is in the process of receiving 14 Su-30MKAs from Russia and Angola is getting 12 former Indian Air Force Su-30MKs. One was seen in February this year flying after overhaul at the 558th Aircraft Repair Plant in Belarus.

The news is from Sputnik.

Beegeagle Blog tweet about it but the veracity is not confirmed.

They most likely mixed it up with the Mi-35 delivered. I doubt any SU-30 have touched down in Nigeria's territory.
