Honorable Sensei sir, after you get done neutralizing a few more combatants in the Dojo with that trademark economy of motion, please let us know WHICH make and model attack helicopters are on Johnny B. Good's shopping list of US-made gunships to be acquired by the Nigerian military for aerial virgin-hunter cleanup duties at the war-front. 3 Likes |

manck: Sheikh El Musiwa I like that film loop of the helicopter door gunner that you posted. It puts the viewer in the driver's seat, for a nice aerial view of some hellacious strafing action on that vehicular convoy below. That would be good treatment for the Boko Haram convoys running about in northern Nigeria for sure. You are full of intelligent surprises, El Musiwa, yet stark raving mad as a hatter, and proud of it. 4 Likes |

omenka: ...But absolutely necessary. I have a close connection with the aviation sector and have had the privilege to fly on Air Force Dorniers. Flying on gunships is ruled out to civilians. Besides our VIPs are scared to death of choppers. Most of them will rather walk than fly in a chopper |

According to the UN charter, all defence contracts for heavy weapons must be made public. And I just checked the website for military helicopter news, and this news isn't there. This is the website: http://helihub.com/tag/news+military/ So, the question is: have they signed the contract, or is it still a proposal? 7 Likes |

shymexx: According to the UN charter, all defence contracts for heavy weapons must be made public.from some military sources, I heard that the order was made months ago, receipt of the gunships started a few weeks back, that's why its making the news, COAS and CAS both mentioned new acquisitions in recent press conferences without specifying, check beegeagle's blog |

Jakumo: I don't think it's a hoax. However, I doubt it's a new deal. The delivery time-frame is between August and December 2014, and that makes the whole thing somewhat suspicious. 1 Like |

shymexx: You just churned out the biggest pile of sh1t on this thread with that non-existing charter you pulled up out of your dung hole and now you are getting suspicious that the Nigeria Air Force is actually about to take delivery of combat choppers. What in God's name are you insinuating? 7 Likes |
Re: FG Orders 40 Attack Helicopters From US, Russia by Nobody: 12:22pm On Jul 26, 2014 |
SenseiX: I just checked beegeagle's blog and it's apparently a new deal, with deliveries to commence from August to December 2014. Obviously, the time-frame for the delivery doesn't sound real, since military aircraft for export take months to build. Unless they're buying refurbished ones. Anyway, I'm just trying to check what aircraft they're getting. Hopefully, it isn't the Mil Mi-35 they have now. The Mil Mi-28 is a better option. 6 Likes |
Re: FG Orders 40 Attack Helicopters From US, Russia by Nobody: 12:27pm On Jul 26, 2014 |
shymexx: And what made you assume that the delivery time is unrealistic? Do you know exactly when negotiations began for procurement? If you even knew anything about military hardware procurement you will know that Air Force pilots and engineers will have began training on the choppers. Next time think before you post here 3 Likes |
