Cyprus considers FC-1

ChengDu FC-1 Considered by Cyprus
(CNF March 27, 2003)

On Monday, the Greek Cypriot Government decided to begin negotiations for the procurement of up to 24 ChengDu FC-1 combat aircraft to meet a requirement of the Kypriaki Stratoitiki Aeroporia. The expected value of the programme is in the region of 1 billion Euro. The decision by the Greek Cypriot Government follows the purchase of the Russian Mil Mi-35 helicopters and the lack of fixed wing combat aircraft.
