China is committed to selling domestic fighters to the international market, but at present, there are many waiters and few actual purchasers. Therefore, we still need to let the world know about the advantages of Chinese fighters.
Today, let’s take the recent domestically-made fighter jets in Africa to have a brief understanding of what is the biggest advantage of our country’s fighter jets in export! Due to the limited maintenance capabilities of the Nigerian Air Force, about nine J-7 fighters purchased from China have already been squandered. This is naturally not good news for Nigeria, which is in conflict in the north.
Because of the need for warfare, the Nigerian Defense Forces naturally need a larger number of fighter jets to monitor its territory. The J-7NI is the main fighter of the Nigerian Air Force. Although there will be "Fierce Dragon" in the future, the two can still share part of the pressure of the J-7, but at present, the J-7 fighter still has to bear relatively heavy Air defense pressure. The heavy air defense mission of
, coupled with the maintenance ability can not keep up, so the Nigerian Air Force's J-7 fighters will have a large-scale nest phenomenon. Moreover, in this situation, the Nigerian Defense Force immediately asked Chinese technicians for help, and the response of the Chinese technicians after learning of the situation made the Nigerian military extremely warm.
According to Nigerian media sources, on November 3, when the Nigerian Air Force Chief of Staff visited Kanji Air Force Base, he greatly appreciated the repair work of the base’s fighters. Among them, the J-7NI fighters were being repaired. The chief of staff said: "Chinese friends support us in restarting the J-7 fighters. I believe that these fighters will soon regain operational capabilities. Next, we will mobilize all air force resources to ensure the safety of Nigerian people’s lives and property." It is reported that Chinese technology After the personnel learned of the problem with the Nigerian Air Force F-7, they immediately flew to Africa and started maintenance work on two F-7s on the spot.
The remaining seven F-7NI fighters have been dismantled due to limitations in Africa and shipped back to China for more professional and comprehensive maintenance. After it is fully maintained and its combat effectiveness is restored, it will be sent back to the Nigerian Air Force
. The Nigerian side stated that the purchase of Chinese fighters without pressure for later use is most satisfactory. After all, competition in the modern weaponry and equipment market is mixed. It is not easy to find a responsible weapon manufacturer, but by using Chinese fighters, they find that Chinese weapons are the most reassuring.
