marvin906:LOL, Trump is a crazy man that has absolutely nothing to lose if he orders an attack on Iran in these last days of his administration, in fact he has a lot to gain from it. Iran should be wary. |

marvin906: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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

marvin906: 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 ( around 25 years ) . 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 for 25 years. 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 found this doc for SAAF flight cost per hour in round . that 4400 dollars per hour for fuel and DOD of a gripen ?? 2 Likes

Raaven: This doesn't just give me hope for NAF.. The JF 17 might be cheap in all aspects but one have to wonder in the next 10 years will.it still be standing as a good aircraft at that time compared to the sukhoi..well this is just a case of cutting your coat to your size.. In Africa Egypt recurrent expenditures is gonna be mad |

kemicalreact: 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

Raaven: 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. |

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? |
Re: African Militaries/ Security Services Strictly Photos Only And Videos Thread by Whyem15: 11:16am On Jan 02, 2021 |
Ken006: The quantity of fuel jet engines consume alone! And it's not the regular fuel you use, it is very expensive. |

Whyem15: I saw a report in 2019 that Pakistan government economic committee approved the sum of 184 million from Nigeria for the purchase of 3 JF17 jets. This sum includes the missiles, targeting pods and laser guided bombs. I suspect pilot training may be a part of this cost. This brings the sum for each of them to be about 61 million each. Looking at NAF budget from 2017, you would observe that Nigeria was making yearly payments of about 60million USD(about 22 -25 billion naira) for the Jf17 jets which adds up. Subsequent orders should be less than 61 million USD per plane because the infrastructure should be on ground to support the planes and many pilots trained. However, I think the base sum of 25million USD should be for the base block 1 version with a basic radar and no missiles, pods and armaments added. These add-ons can be very expensive especially radar, targeting pods and missiles. If we have scooped up many missiles with this initial order, then I am sure future orders would be slightly cheaper probably @ 40 million USD per plane for the block 2. Block 3 would definitely be priced higher since it will have an AESA radar and the most advanced Chinese BVR missile which would put it in the same class as the latest F-16. 1 Like |
