Speaking further, Mr Claudio assured the CAS that when finally completed, the maintenance of the aircraft fleet would not constitute a challenge as there is a binding agreement for Leonardo’s maintenance support for the minimum of 25 years.

Leonardo confirms M-346 contract for Nigeria (22. April 2024)
https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/de ... or-nigeriaLeonardo has for the first time disclosed that it has been contracted to deliver its M-346 to Nigeria, telling Janes on 19 April that it recently confirmed its commitment to a timely delivery of the “fighter aircraft” to the West African country.
The Italian company's confirmation came in response to a post on the Nigerian Air Force's (NAF's) official Facebook account, in which it said it is to receive 24 M-346 fighter aircraft, with the first six expected to arrive before the end of 2024 and the remainder to follow in further tranches of six.
“This [Facebook post] makes reference to a meeting between the Nigerian Air Force HQ and Leonardo, where the company has confirmed its commitment to timely deliver the M-346 fighter aircraft and guarantee an early start of pilot and engineering training in 2024,” Leonardo told Janes, adding, “We cannot elaborate further at this stage.”
Das kann man nicht behaupten, weil es noch keinen Kaufvertrag gibt und man auch nicht weiß, welche Leistungen dieser umfasst.
Und was Polen betrifft: Wer ist so verrückt und vergleicht einen Paketpreis von vor sieben Jahren mit einem im Detail unbekannten (!) Angebot von heute? Und das auch noch von zwei Flugzeugen, die sich in ihrer Ausstattung ganz erheblich voneinander unterscheiden (Die M346FA hat u.a. ein Bordradar!). Die vier M346 für Polen waren eine Optionsauslösung aus einem Vertrag von 2014, d.h. da gab es wahrscheinlich auch eine Preisbindung wie bei unseren AW169M.
