I'd like to request an update to the J-7 page to mention recent sale of 15 J-7 to Nigeria for $251 million USD. The purchase includes 12 J-7's and 3 JJ-7's. The J-7's sold to Nigeria is given the designation of F-7NI (NI for Nigeria?). This sale also gives us the export-sales figure of approx. $16.7 million USD per J-7.

Nigeria Spends $251M for Chinese F-7 Fighters After Oil Deals
Posted 30-Sep-2005 11:55
Reuters reports that Nigeria's government has approved a $251 million purchase of 15 fighter and trainer aircraft from China, further strengthening ties between the two countries after a series of significant oil deals.
The 12 F-7NI multi-role combat aircraft and three FT-7NI trainer aircraft and associated equipment will be bought from China's National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corp. The F-7/J-7 is an upgraded version of the Soviet MiG-21 interceptor, with modernized avionics and weapons and a slight cranked-wing configuration.
