Nigeria only has two options for fighter aircrafts. Russian and Chinese, and we are going for the Chinese/Pakistan JF-17.


Although the J-10 would have been a much better option in my opinion.

What percentage of Somalia is in Coalition hands and what percentage is Shabbab?


It's seems there's a significant Shabbab attack in Somalia every other day.

We got the mine clearing vehicles from Slovakia. The U.S mainly supports Nigeria with training, transport planes and OPVs. Nigeria hasn't bought any IED detectors from the U.S.


No.... the U.S donated mainly bare-bone, stripped down MRAPs which we haven't even deployed to the N.E or anywhere for that matter. Zombie Relics!


The U.S is only a partner in fighting Terrorism in Nigeria on CNN and in the loud mouth of Christine Ammanpour. In reality they mainly play almost insignificant roles.

Someone mentioned Hamburger Hill? In fact the 101st survivors wanted to kill their CO,Col Honeycutt. They took over 50 KIA for what?? The following week the pos was abandoned. Its no accident the 1969 battle was the last serious US combat in Vietnam. By this time drug abuse and combat refusal were so rampant in even elite units commentators said the US armed forces were in "a state of collapse."
Bravo two zero was another masterpiece of propaganda-complete BS! After the book another SAS guy on a similar mission released the truth:they were compromised early on and were KIA and POW save one. In the book they dismantled an entire mechanised regiment!

I know you all have a fascination for light infantry boys and spec ops and their works but really,learn to recognise the smell of BS!!

it was a very unfavorable terrain for the Men of the US ARMY. Who were already war worn as at that time.

Henry240 is Nigeria still planning on getting the JF-17 ? if yes how many units and ETA?

Henry240:


Nigeria isn't planning on getting the JF-17. Nigeria would receive 3 units of JF-17 thunder multi-role fighter jets this year and a follow-on order of at-least 22 fighter jets in the years ahead.

Katyusha:
Online sources claim the NAF is getting the 3 Block I JF-17 fighters for $25million. That is about $8million apiece! How reliable are these "sources"? , given the fact that there is a $15million price tag on each fighter. Also, which Advanced Jet Trainer will be used to transition to the JF-17?.......The NAF currently has no supersonic Advanced Jet Trainer. Or would these airframes be flown by PAF contractors?
