Nigeria has been trying to barter crude oil for 20 of these planes for about a year, I sure hope they get them.

Well, in return, the Japanese tried tying incendiary devices to balloons, which they floated over in hopes of setting forest fires in Oregon or Washington state. I think one of them killed a family of 6, and that was about it…

In a very lucky strike, one of the Japanese ballon bombs hit the plant in Washington State that was making plutonium for the Manhattan Project.

GD,

Do you know what role the F200s will fill in Tanzania? Thanks.

The (armed) K-8s sold to Namibia and Zambia were in the US$4mill range. That plane doesn’t have very advanced avionics hence most of that eqiupment would have to stay. Removal of the cannon would save some $ but not much. The $4mill price might include extras such as service, parts, ground eqiupment (things a private pilot could out-source). But I don’t think it could cost much less than $2mill.

The October issue of AFM stated the Mig-23 was shown off at a live fire exercise in Zimbabwe. They don’t mention exact numbers but do suggest that Libya had offered to supply Mig-23s in 2000.
