Secret procurement breeds corruption, it should be totally discouraged.

This is my humble opinion.

This is a huge number, it means the Nigerian Air Force simply has no excuse to deliver.

They even purchased the FA variant, you can imagine.

That's what I think, but we cannot say for sure though.

It means the Alpha Jets can now rest after 45 years in service.

At that quantity and with delivery starting within a relatively short period, are we getting used? It's important to know about this so as to be able to estimate how long they will last.

This contract might have been signed a long time ago, the denials are to prevent uproar in Nigeria.

I would think we are getting brand new jets.

Remember NAF got nearly 1 billion dollars in the recent supplementary budget.

Nope, NAF is still getting additional j17s from the Airforce purse not federal government.

Same number of weapons station as the JF-17.

This really bad news for the JF-17.

It seems to be a very capable platform. I will need to read up more on the aircraft.

There's no way NAF would purchase the JF-17 now. It's very unlikely.

The purchase of this aircraft (M-346FA) would be a very huge boost for air operations, when you add the Tucanos & the CH4 drones, we have a capable air deterrent.

I think this purchase means we won't see Attack Helicopters any time soon either.

İ said it here that NAF professional pilots and engineers don't really seem like JF17. Nigeria may still buy half a squadron of them till Block 3 comes but even now they may be looking at Russian alternatives.

There's no evidence to that on the contrary only one retired NAF air force officer is on record alluding anything in resemblance based on the premise of how many users operate the air superiority fighter which is not enough argument for now since the JF-17 Thunder is still relatively new in the market and has already some suitors very interested.

This is incredible news, fantastic purchase.

Africa Intelligence was right after all!!

A good buy. The M346FA of M346 family of aircrafts is actually the best in its class. The protoype of the aircraft was actually already sitting in the office of the CAS for months about the time the publication went to press with the purchase of the aircraft making it a potential buy to fill the role of the Alpha Jets.

This purchase of the M346FA though opaque brings the NAF into the future of especially advanced LIFT and ground attack capabilities.

The JF-17 doesn't hold much prospect. Better to stick with what is reliable.

I don't know how you come about that assumption. And what's reliable in this context is subjective. It's like casting aspersions where there is none. The JF-17 and the M346 don't fill the same role in the NAF doctrine of combat. The first which is supersonic is purely an air superiority fighter whilst the latter which is transonic is mainly for LIFT & ground attack.

Old habits die hard. The opaque nature of military procurements in Nigeria won't end. However this purchase was anticipated. The problem is no one can really tell how much or total numbers goes into all this purchase same thing with the Army VT-4 Tanks etcetera, the Navy OPVs and the anticipated new Frigate.

I feel somehow about the idea that NAF front fighter will be a fighter that grew from a training aircraft sha

Pls. explain to them. People are rejoicing over jet trainers that are sub-sonic but fit for it's role ,while mocking supersonic air superiority fighter jets of which we have nothing else in it's class. You would think they feel it (M346) can take on an su35,F5,Mig29 or Gripen E. grin

I still don't see how the procurement of m346 means JF17 is not giving satisfactory performance.

They are not meant for the same role. We all knew the procurement for both aircraft were in the pipeline already.

M346FA is needed just as the JF-17 is also needed. It's left for air force to determine which is more urgent due to lack of funds.
