The JF-17 Thunder, an export version of the JF-17A Block 2, is now the fastest aircraft in the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) inventory.
Three arrived at the NAF’s Makurdi Air Base (also known as Kwenev) on board a Pakistan Air Force Il-76 transport aircraft in March.
They were officially handed over to the NAF on May 21 during a ceremony marking the 57th anniversary of the service.
