Shri Lanka je spominjana pre par meseci kao kupac pa nista, a sada su objavili kupovinu 8-12 novih lovaca. Indija je vrsila pritisak da ne uzmu JF-17 pa ako ne uzmu njega onda moguce FA-50 ako idu na jeftinije. Tejas nije gotov.
Citat:Health Minister and Cabinet Spokesman Dr. Rajitha Senaratne said between eight and 12 aircraft will be purchased. At the moment only one Kafir aircraft is air worthy while the rest six Kafirs cannot be used. We have seven MIG aircraft and eight other aircraft but none of them can be used. The government will consider all offers and will select a suitable one, he added.
Mogli bi Indijci da im proslede nekoliko Mig-21 od 245 koji su još u resursu za međuvreme dok Tejas ne bude gotov. Nije to neka žrtva, radi se o avionima kojima je cena uz važeči resurs nekoliko stotina hiljada dolara.

Citat:NAF EXPANDS YOLA APRON, CONDUCTS EYE SURGERY ON SECOND BATCH OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), as part of preparations towards inducting new platforms, is expanding the apron at the military wing of Yola International Airport to enhance air operations against insurgency in the Northeast. The NAF, at present, is at the verge of inducting the Mi-35M helicopter gunship and JF-17 Thunder Fighter Ground Attack aircraft in addition to acquiring the Super Mushshack trainer aircraft. There are also strong indications that the US Government may give the nod sooner than expected with regards to the sale of Super Tucano to the NAF to replace the aging Alpha Jets. The proposed fleet expansion, according to the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar necessitated the expansion of existing facilities including the apron, pilot crew room, office/residential accommodation and recreation facilities newly put-in place to enhance the welfare of the personnel and reposition the NAF for effective and efficient air operations.
