Uganda to buy fighter jets worth $1.2 billion form Russia

The Uganda army says it will buy six fighter jets from a Russian arms exporter if the government gets the money. A leading Russian business daily, Vedomotsi, reported that the Ugandan government had signed a contract with Moscow to buy the Su-30-MK2 fighter jets at $1.2 billion. The Voice of Russia, quoting a Moscow military-diplomatic source, said Uganda was planning to sign the agreement and pay for the planes with oil money. Army spokesman Felix Kulayigye, who had denied the reports, made a U-turn, saying purchases would go ahead because they need the sophisticated Russian-made jet fighters to strengthen the countrys national air defence capability. He is quoted further saying that Uganda needs to guard against external aggression and security threats like Nile waters which can be a source of conflict in the region. The acquisition of these jets would strengthen the capacity of the Ugandan Air Force to be among the top in the region.
