IKR. US is kinda worried that Iran might retaliate the death of of Soulemani. The Middle East is too fvcked and complex to be honest. There are too many warring parties.

yes and that mean when you buy a jet for exemple a sukhoi 30 MKI with 60 millions dollar per unit . with their service life of 6000 flight hours ( lets say 30 years) . cost flight per hour is around 22.000 dollars per hour . thats 132 millions per jet during its life service .


for exemple algerian air force have with the last contract a fleet of 74 sukhoi 30 MKA so they spent around 4.4 billions dollars to buy them and they will spend around 9.7 billions in their 30 years of service .

even if its difficult to find the true flight cost per hour , the manufacturer will decrease the cost to sell , the competitors will overestimate the cost. you find a lot of different stats on internet .


for the jf 17 block II with 25 millions dollars per unit , with theirr service life of 4000 flight hours . havnt found official stats but lets says the flight cost per hour is cheap . ( less estimation say 4000 dollars / per hour , some say 14.000 dollars / per hour ) . its another 16 millions dolllars at least . to 56 millions dollars to fly one JF17 .


found this doc for SAAF flight cost per hour in round . that 4400 dollars per hour for fuel and DOD of a grippen ??

Nope it's just iran, Syria, Yemen against the rest I should put Qatar but don't really understand them..

if nigeria get in the future a squadron 14 jets + two for formation . the cost for 16 block II . thats 400 millions dollars to buy them and 256 millions $ at least to 856 millions $ to fly them for 25 years

Ken006:
What exactly makes the cost of flying these jets so expensive...I thought some parts are just charged,maintenance and it's refueled and that's not going to cost that much?

Whyem15:



If the unit cost of the JF-17 is $25 million, then Nigeria is most likely getting more than 3 because we've budgeted more than $75 million since we started the acquisition process.


Didn't factor the cost of ammunitions and other weapons systems coming with so I might be wrong.

most modern jets cost thousand dollars per hour to fly .

it cost 44.000 dollars per hour to fly for an F35 they are trying to reduce it to 25.000 dollars for 2025 but according to some source it will be difficult .
https://www.defensenews.com/air/2019/05/02/one-of-the-f-35s-cost-goals-may-be-unattainable/

for exemple the flight cost per hour for the sukhoi 35 is also expznsiv around 36.000 dollars per hour .
a rafale around 28.000 dollars per hour

for cost per flight hour , the price is not only for the fuel but also consumable supplies , operation and maintenance , system improvements , unit level manpower needed, depreciation ...

and for the F35 with all the new technology on it, difficulties getting spare parts , its not supprising to be more expensiv . for exemple an F35 pilot helmet alone cost $400,000

Turkey's interest comes to play here also.

it was in september . a fleet of 6 B52 flight from artic . approched russian air space . ( it said that was a trap , there was behind them two RC-135V/W Rivet Joint electronic-intelligence scooping up data from russian radars and communications ) . to read https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2020/09/04/a-us-air-force-b-52-just-set-another-intelligence-trap-for-the-russians/

after that they flew over ukraine, then crossed all of europe. to participate in an exercise in Spain (interception of an American destroyer USS Roosevelt ). and went to do small air exercise with the Moroccan F16 and after Tunisian F5 before returning US

Again with the Turkish drones. Bayraktar has long since weaned itself from Canadian optics by adopting ones made from Aselsan long ago. The same western sanctions refusing to let Turkey buy US made drones led them down this very path to begin with, and where is Turkish aerospace today? Busy pioneering new technologies and and advancing Turkish military capabilities across the globe, while some people keep laughing that Turkey's defense industry is doomed

You'd be hard pressed to find even a single advanced piece of weaponry even in NATO, that doesn't source for parts and hardware from foreign vendors. This is an extremely weak argument.

Honestly all I see is turkey trying hard for the world to see it as powerful force

kemicalreact:
I agree with you. You Turkey has to deal with the PKK/SDF problem in Syria and Iraq. The funniest part is the US is supporting PKK/SDF in Syria, so Turkey is kinda worried about that.

marvin906:



My own opinion Honestly they are trying too hard too hard to be seen..most of those conflicts they had no business with it especially Syria.. Just Secure your borders
