Photos from Nigeria Air Force capability demonstration held yesterday

Just say bad CAD skills. Just like the Airbus Beluga, ugly aircraft but it's serving it's purpose.


If a CAD design of this aircraft is being uploaded into FEA to analyse, result will show alot of deformations but those guys at Airbus won't agree.

Is igirigi serving it's purpose effectively? yes

Nok234:

What is on the hilux ?

ssaengine:


No. Results will not show a lot of deformation. If they do show a lof of deformation, Airbus will change their design. Whatever stresses,strains, and deformations must be within their originally calculated estimates, otherwise the design gets thrown into the dustbin. That's exactly why they would pay thousands of dollars to buy the FEA software in the first place.

NAF TEST FIRES LOCALLY PRODUCED ROCKETS


The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has successfully test fired 30.1mm ground to air Inert Head Rockets locally produced by its Research and Development Team. The rockets were test fired during the Weapons Meet at Kwenev Air Range, Makurdi to commemorate the 53rd anniversary celebration of the NAF. Also produced by the NAF R& D were the ground based rail launcher and vehicle mounted rail rocket launcher. The rocket launchers are fired through a remotely controlled firing based system. .

NAF TEST FIRES LOCALLY PRODUCED ROCKETS

The rockets were test fired during the Weapons Meet at Kwenev Air Range, Makurdi to commemorate the 53rd anniversary celebration of the NAF. Also produced by the NAF R& D were the ground based rail launcher and vehicle mounted rail rocket launcher. The rocket launchers are fired through a remotely controlled firing based system. Aside from the display of air defence weapon, there was also a spectacular demonstration of weapon delivery by some of the NAF platforms. The aircraft fired both rockets and canons with high level of precision. A total of 4 NAF aircraft participated in the weapons meet with each arriving over the range with a spacer pass at 200ft for the helicopters and 300ft for the jets. The participating aircraft included Augusta 109 LUH with backdoor gunner, L-39ZA, Alpha Jet and F-7Ni. The exercise was aimed at sharpening the targeting skills of NAF pilots to acquire and engage targets as well as test the precision of the aircraft in hitting the targets. Four designated targets were identified and the formations attacked the targets one after the other starting with cobra, tiger and aggressor formations.

In his remarks at the occasion, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Gabriel Olonishakin felicitated with the NAF on its 53rd anniversary celebration and commended the commitment of the current NAF leadership for improving the capacity of officers and men. “Today, I am proud to declare that the NAF has lived up to expectation. This sequencing, airmanship and accurate delivery of firepower from the various platforms that participated at the Air Weapons Meet are highly commendable”.

Gen Olonishakin also disclosed that Nigeria can boast of an Air Force that can deliver appropriate air power as witnessed in the North East where the NAF air interdiction, ground attack and close air support missions played a pivotal role in the counter-terrorism/insurgency operations.

This is the bigger story.One did not even know they were working on this.Job well done.

You completely misunderstood my comment and you went further to make an unnecessary aggressive post, which if i had responded in a like manner, would have led to an unnecessary derailment of this thread.

You and i and many others have been in this thread since 2013, in that time i have posted at least 50 photos of the Igirigi.

I've also shared CAD designs of the vehicle in this thread. Search for "Chronos studios" right here in this site.

My post simply was to show that what we saw in 2013 was just a development process, which lead to an actual market competitive LAV in 2014. As at 2016 we now have alot of locally produced military and law enforcement vehicles that agencies in Nigeria and other parts of Africa have picked from. Infact in 2015 we secured a contract from a French government agency to supply armoured vehicles to an unnamed African country. We achieved this in 4 years.

My comment was merely in support of the Tanzanian developmental process. That your response showed a simple lack of basic understanding is an understatement.

Infact bros, just have a nice day.

Henry240:


I love the fact that we are aggressively pushing local content. It's great all round.

tdayof:
Nope. F.E.A can't handle some aspects well. It will obviously show some deformities on aircraft like the Beluga but aerodynamically, the design is perfect. FEA is not stable when it comes to fluid dynamics.

but serious the f-7 missed the target.but if it was BH i guess even a near miss would have done the work

Henry240:


Nice, if you have a full frontal view showing the missiles please post it.

tdayof:


I have told the guy. I'll post once he reply.

ssaengine:


Missed for real? I know some people who are going to roast another person if this is true.

Henry240:


I implore you to stop displaying your ignorance. The video is available for you to see for yourself and confirm for yourself.

Of course F7 will miss target. Why do you think NAF is buying Super Tucano and JF 17?. For accurate munitions delivery, I would even take Super Tucano over JF 17. No offence meant
